A Proper Bungalow, With Proper Space, A Double Garage & A Lovely Village Setting

If you’ve been looking for a bungalow but don’t particularly fancy downsizing your life along with it, Robinswood could be rather interesting.

Tucked away in a cul-de-sac in the popular village of West Chinnock, this detached bungalow has been exceptionally well looked after and offers the sort of space, flexibility and garaging that can be surprisingly difficult to find.

The heart of the home is a generous sitting room, centred around a fireplace with living-flame gas fire. From here, the accommodation flows beautifully into the dual-aspect garden room, where bifold doors open directly onto the garden. It is a lovely spot for morning coffee, an afternoon with a book, or simply keeping an eye on what the Somerset weather has decided to do next.

Alongside the sitting room is the dining room, originally designed as the third bedroom. For somebody needing three bedrooms, the original arrangement could potentially be reinstated by replacing the partition wall and removing the internal double doors. Alternatively, leave it exactly as it is and enjoy the extra reception space.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with integrated appliances including an undercounter fridge, double electric oven, with one oven incorporating a microwave, and electric hob. A separate utility room provides additional space for appliances and, very usefully, connects the house directly with the garage.

There are currently two double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes and additional storage. They are served by a well-appointed bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, while a separate cloakroom adds another practical touch.

Outside, Robinswood continues to make a persuasive case for itself.

A gated entrance opens onto a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles, alongside a particularly useful double garage with twin powered roller doors, light and power. For anyone with cars, hobbies, tools, bikes or simply rather too much “useful stuff”, it is a real bonus.

The front garden combines lawn with mature planting, while gated access to either side leads around to the rear. Here the garden enjoys a good degree of privacy, with lawn, patio and gravelled areas providing plenty of room for sitting out, entertaining or pottering.

The Location
West Chinnock is one of those South Somerset villages that offers a genuine village setting without leaving you miles from everyday life.

The village has a public house, primary school, church and village hall, while both Yeovil and Crewkerne are readily accessible. Rail services are available from Yeovil and Crewkerne, with the A30 and A303 providing useful road connections.

Sherborne, Ilminster, Bruton and Castle Cary are also accessible, while heading south from Crewkerne puts the Jurassic Coast within reach.

Detached, beautifully maintained, flexible accommodation, a private garden and that increasingly elusive double garage. Robinswood is a bungalow that deserves to be viewed rather than judged merely by the number of bedrooms on the particulars.
