The house was built in the late 1800’s and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2019. You enter through the front door into the entrance hall with a door to the open plan lounge/dining room and stairs rising to the first floor.
The living room is situated at the front of the house and enjoys high ceilings and a feature fireplace giving it a grand feel and stylish finish. The bay window at the front provides lots of natural light. The living room is open plan to the dining room, which has an under stairs cupboard and double doors opening through to the kitchen.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of French Weir park and Taunton town centre, with all its amenities just a short walk from the front door. They particularly love “the short distance to nip over to the park for a run around with the dog”, the area is ideal for people with young families. They will mostly miss “Our kitchen! We really love the amount of space and that we can open up the doors and connect with the rest of the house”.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a wide variety of modern fitted units with work surfaces over and inset stainless steel sink with drainer. There is a range of integrated appliances, including fridge freezer, high level double oven, four ring induction hob and dishwasher. The kitchen has been extended and opened up, to create room for a breakfast bar. Beyond the kitchen, there is a door opening to the rear garden. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine.
Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there is a loft access hatch, storage cupboard and doors to the three bedrooms. The master bedroom is a good size and benefits from dual windows to the front aspect. The second bedroom is situated in the rear of the house with a window to the rear aspect overlooking the garden and the third bedroom is in the middle of the house and again, has a window to the rear aspect. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and a jacuzzi bath with shower over.
George Loves - “I love the openness and sense of space this property has! The owners have done a wonderful job of tastefully modernising the house whilst retaining some original features. The bathroom arrangement upstairs is also a brilliant solution to keeping three bedrooms, whilst also having facilities upstairs. The location is also a huge selling point with the park on the doorstep and town so close by!”
Outside, to the rear of the property there is an enclosed courtyard garden. Initially, there is a patio area, and beyond that is an area of chippings and a large brick built outhouse at the rear of the garden for storage. All this is fully enclosed by timber fencing. There is on street permit parking available at the front of the property.
Taunton and Surrounding area
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.
