Maxwell Street, Taunton

This handsome period home offers a particularly appealing blend of traditional character and contemporary styling, with an attractive brick façade giving way to accommodation extending to approximately 955 sq ft. The current presentation complements the original proportions beautifully, creating a home that feels both individual and immediately comfortable.

George Loves - "The combination of period detailing and genuinely usable living space is what stands out here. The bay-fronted sitting room has real character, but having a separate dining room, contemporary kitchen and conservatory beyond means the house works just as well for modern day-to-day living as it does aesthetically."

The living room sits to the front of the house, where the bay window brings plenty of natural light into the room. Plantation-style shutters, decorative ceiling details and a fireplace with wood-burning stove provide character, while fitted shelving and cabinetry make practical use of the alcoves. It is a welcoming room that works equally well for everyday family life or quieter evenings in.

Beyond is a separate dining room, generously proportioned for a full-size dining table and retaining further period detailing, including exposed timber floorboards, a decorative ceiling rose and an attractive feature fireplace. The separation of the two reception rooms gives the ground floor a useful degree of flexibility while still providing a natural flow through the house.

Positioned towards the rear, the kitchen has been updated with a clean, contemporary finish, incorporating sleek cabinetry, generous work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, including an AEG gas hob and oven. There is useful preparation and storage space on both sides of the room, while a window and glazed connection towards the conservatory help keep the space feeling bright.

The conservatory provides an additional link between the house and garden. Its glazed roof introduces excellent natural light and the space offers scope for a variety of uses, whether as an informal seating area, home-working spot or simply somewhere to enjoy the outlook towards the garden. A door provides direct access outside.

Completing the ground floor is the stylish shower room, finished with large-format tiling and contemporary fittings. The arrangement includes a generous shower, wash basin with fitted vanity storage, airing cupboard and WC.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous at approximately 13'9" x 11'3", with fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage while leaving ample room for a substantial bed and additional furniture. The tasteful décor and period proportions create a calm and comfortable main bedroom.

Two further bedrooms complete the first floor, measuring approximately 12'9" x 8'7" and 12'0" x 8'0" respectively. Their proportions provide flexibility for children, guests or those needing dedicated home-working space.

Owners Love - "The house offers a lovely balance between character and practicality. There are separate spaces to relax and entertain, plenty of natural light, useful bedroom storage and, at the rear, the conservatory creates an easy connection with the garden, making the outside space feel like a genuine extension of the home during the warmer months."

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides an appealing and manageable outdoor space. A lawn is complemented by a raised decked seating area, creating a natural spot for garden furniture, summer dining and entertaining. The established boundaries give the garden a pleasing sense of enclosure, while the combination of lawn and seating space makes it practical without being overly demanding. A rear gate provides useful back access. Residents permit parking is available on the road outside.
