Clifton Terrace, Taunton
Asking Price £415,000
The house was built circa 1904 and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2014. The house had undergone a programme of sympathetic modernisation and renovation during their tenure. You enter through the front door into the charming entrance hall with original tiled flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal reception rooms.
The living room is situated at the front of the house and enjoys high ceilings and a large bay window at the front, providing lots of natural light, and a lovely outlook over the front lawn. There is a chimney breast with an original 'Minster' feature gas fire providing a natural focal point for the room. Beyond this is the snug, loved by the owners as their second reception area due to the cosy nature of the room, the gas stove and the doors that open through to the study.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of Taunton town centre and all its amenities just a stone throw from the front door. They particularly love “the short distance to pop into town to pick up the essentials or go for food and drinks” which has made life very enjoyable for them. They will mostly miss “the easy access to the Quantock Hills” where there is an abundance of beautiful walks with the dogs. They have also found the access to the main line railway station and the M5 motorway at junction 25 has also being really beneficial.
The kitchen diner is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of shaker style wall and base units with work surfaces over and inset sink. There is a built-in high level NEFF oven with a four-ring hob and hood over, space for a fridge freezer and a built-in wine cooler and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious utility room, with a Belfast sink and space for washing machine. From here, there is a door to the garden and another through to the wet room, with a shower, WC and was basin.
Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is a great size and benefits from a large window to the front aspect and a characterful original fireplace. There are two other good size bedrooms, each with a wash basin and feature fireplaces and the fourth bedroom is currently used as a dressing room/study. The family bathroom is fully tiled and is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin, jacuzzi bath. From the landing, there are stairs to the loft bedroom, which is a great size and benefits from a skylight window to the rear aspect and a window to the front.
George Loves - “I love the fact that this house is ready to move straight into! It has clearly been so well looked after by the current owners and has been prepared perfectly ready for sale. It is unusual to find a house like this, with no work required before it's ready to move in. And with two private off road parking spaces, it makes this property really stand out from other homes like it. An absolute must see house!”
Outside, to the rear of the property there is low maintenance garden. The garden is predominantly laid to chippings and patio and is enclosed with timber fencing, benefitting from rear-gated access. Beyond the rear gate, is a gravel driveway providing off road parking for two cars. The front lawn is fully enclosed by mature boarders, providing lots of privacy from the front.

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.
