SELLERS INSIGHT
Set in a lovely rural position on the edge of the village, this is a spacious four-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a generous garden and a real sense of space and privacy. One of the things we have always particularly liked about the house is that, despite its peaceful setting, it never feels isolated. The village pub is just a few minutes’ walk up the hill, the local school can be reached on foot in around ten minutes, and there is easy road access into Taunton, the M5 and coast.
For us, one of the property’s greatest attractions has always been the balance it offers: four good-sized double bedrooms, plenty of room both inside and out, a large garden and beautiful countryside on the doorstep, while still feeling very much connected to the village and within easy reach of everyday amenities.
It offers a genuinely rural way of life without ever feeling cut off from everything.
STEP INSIDE
The accommodation offers an appealing combination of character and flexible living space, ideally suited to a variety of lifestyles. At the front of the house is a generous kitchen/breakfast room which flows through to a further reception room, currently arranged as a dining room and enhanced by a feature fireplace. In addition, the sitting room enjoys an attractive outlook across the rear gardens.
A previous extension and thoughtful adaptation has created a ground-floor bedroom with an adjoining walk-in wet room, providing excellent potential for single-level living, multi-generational accommodation or, if preferred, an additional reception or family room.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom overlooks the rear gardens and benefits from an en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms also enjoy pleasant garden views and are served by the family bathroom.
STEP OUTSIDE
Set within approximately 0.24 acres of level gardens and grounds, the property enjoys a wonderfully open and sunny setting. A gated entrance opens onto a generous driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to a detached garage.
The gardens are arranged principally to the front and rear, both predominantly laid to lawn and of similar proportions, creating attractive and highly usable outdoor spaces. A greenhouse and paved patio provide further practical and recreational areas, while the gardens enjoy beautiful far-reaching views and an excellent orientation, capturing the sunshine throughout much of the day.
