The living room is situated to one side of the house and enjoys a window to the front aspect with a spectacular view down the canal. There is an opening to the dining room, which is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a Velux window, French doors opening to the patio and a back door opening to the garden. The sitting room is positioned at the opposite side to the lounge at the front of the house, again with a window to the front aspect and is open plan to the kitchen.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved “raising our five children here. It has been an incredible family home”. Their favourite thing about living in the house is “the real sense of space you get with every room. For a modern home, it is very well proportioned”. They will mostly miss “our private mooring on the canal. Its brilliant to just set off in a kayak or on a paddle board”! There are lovely walks on the doorstep along the canal and they have also found the area to be very family friendly with children enjoying playing outside in the summer months.
The kitchen is located to the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of modern fitted wall and base units with work surfaces over and inset stainless steel sink with drainer. There are a range of built in appliances, which include a high level double oven, four ring gas hob with hood over, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is also an island unit in the centre of the room with a breakfast bar and space for stools beneath.
Upstairs, on the first floor landing, there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from double built in wardrobes, providing ample storage and a wonderful outlook over the canal below. It also enjoys en-suite facilities with a walk in shower, washbasin and WC. The second bedroom has a built in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room and is situated at the rear of the house. The third bedroom also has a built in wardrobe and an outlook to the canal to the front aspect. The family bathroom is fully tiled and is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and bath with shower over.
George Loves - “I was blown away by just how much space this home offers! Arranged over three floors, and spanning approximately 2,000 ft2, it’s a perfect property for a family looking for lots of space. I also really like the specification of the house. The house it fitted with all the mod cons and is ready for the next family to move straight in. An absolute must see home!”
On the top floor, there is a landing area with storage cupboards and two further double bedrooms which each benefit from high ceilings and dormer style windows to the front aspect. The second has an en-suite and is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and shower cubicle.
Outside, to the rear of the property there is an enclosed garden. Initially, there is a patio area, which leads onto a lawn with walled and fenced boarders. There is a raised decking area, which currently houses a hot tub (available subject to separate negotiation) and a sauna. A side gate provides access to the front with a single garage and a tarmac driveway. There is also space to park in front the house for several vehicles. The garage has an up and over door and a pitched roof with potential storage area in the attic space. Behind that is the one bedroom annexe, which benefits from a wet room including a shower, WC and washbasin. There is also a private mooring beside the canal just outside 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.
