IF you've driven this way around Chard, you will recognise the building.

The landmark is a former toll house on the outskirts of the town.

Now, a rare opportunity to acquire this famous Grade II listed historical building has presented itself as it is on the market.

This intriguing property was built in 1838 for the Turnpike Trust to collect toll money from passing traffic.

The octagonal shape and placement of the windows meant that the collector of the tolls would not miss anyone that passed by.

The property has been used as a holiday cottage for a number of years and would suit this again.

Accommodation comprises, in brief: Entrance/utility, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bathroom, two bedrooms, off road parking and charming garden orchard.

The property is available with no onward chain.

The town of Chard offers a range of shopping facilities, including Tesco, Lidl and Sainsburys Supermarkets, High Street Banks, Council Offices and Library.

The County Town of Taunton is some 13 miles distant offering an excellent selection of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities.

The stunning scenery and beaches of Lyme Regis are 10 miles distant, while the M5 Motorway is approximately 12 miles to Junction 25.
