The Owners Love - The current owners say, “We have loved the tucked away position and the way our house is on a no through road. It’s just so quiet here”. They particularly love “The open plan layout and entertaining space downstairs which is perfect for modern family life or the occasional party!” They said, “We wanted to create a practical yet social space that is perfect for hosting friends and family”. They will mostly miss “the really secluded feel, whist still being within distance of amenities and transport links. The access to the mainline Taunton train station has been really great.”
The ground floor boasts two impressive reception rooms. The living room is situated at the front of the house and enjoys an attractive outlook over the front garden/driveway through a large square bay window. There is an original cast iron fireplace, giving the room a stunning focal feature typical of its era.
The kitchen/diner is undoubtedly the hub of the home though and is located at the rear of the house. It benefits from a variety of shaker style fitted wall and base units with oak work surfaces over. There is an inset sink and integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, high level double oven and a four-ring hob, surrounded with exposed brickwork. A space is there for an American style fridge/freezer. There is a breakfast bar, with ample room for several stools, beneath three large skylight windows which flood the room with natural light and bi-folding doors opening to the rear garden.
Off the kitchen, is the utility room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, as well as a low-level WC and wash basin. Beyond the kitchen, there is a rear lobby, with its own entrance from the front of the house. This opens through to a versatile downstairs room, which could be utilised for a variety of uses. Downstairs bedroom, study, studio, playroom etc are just a few. There are large French doors that open to the patio.
Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from a large window to the front aspect overlooking the front garden/driveway. There is another double bedroom with a window overlooking the rear garden, as well as a third bedroom upstairs. The family bathroom is beautifully finished and is fitted with a three-piece suite including, P-shape bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.
George Loves - “I was blown away by just how well presented and spacious the house was inside! It has clearly been so planned and thought through by the owners. It really exceeds expectations as soon as you walk through the front door. I particularly love the open plan kitchen area, which is undoubtably the showpiece of the home. An absolute must see house!”
Outside, to the front of the property there is a large gravel driveway, which provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, initially there is a patio area. The garden itself is then predominantly laid to lawn, with pretty, well-stocked boarders and a mature tree lone at the rear providing plenty of privacy. The gardens are fully secure and enclosed by timber fencing.

Fact: Taunton was the first town in the country to be permanently lit by electric street lighting in 1881
Taunton is the County Town of Somerset with the town name deriving from “Town on the River Tone” or “Tone Town” nestled between the Quantock and Blackdown Hills. Voted as the happiest place to live in the South West according to the Rightmove Happy at Home Index, with the index painting a picture of it as a place where people look after their homes and have time for their neighbours. Taunton’s bustling Town Centre offers many High Street shops, Bars and Restaurants, however if you are looking for something a little more boutique, we recommend you explore Bath Place and Taunton independent quarter along St James Street.
