The Hill, Langport, TA10

A delightful 19th Century Lias stone cottage, offering deceptively spacious living accommodation over three floors, conveniently situated within the centre of Langport. This attractive period home is well presented, and includes an attractive walled courtyard garden.


A partly glazed timber door to the front of the property opens into a hall which has a reproduction flagstone floor, a large double storage cupboard, a wooden latch door into the ground floor reception room, and an external door at the rear leading out to an under-cover storage area.

The reception room on the ground floor is both welcoming and tastefully presented, with a wood floor, two secondary glazed windows to the front and a beautiful spiral staircase.

This spacious and social space is ideal for entertaining, has an exposed brick feature wall and offers plenty of room for a dining table and chairs.

An opening leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching, farmhouse style floor and wall units, wooden work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and a Belfast sink with stainless steel mixer taps. The kitchen also includes a recessed cupboard, an integrated electric oven, a gas hob with an extractor hood over and a tiled floor. From the kitchen, there is external access out to the courtyard garden, and a door to an adjoining utility room. A useful space, the utility room has a further recessed cupboard, plumbing for a freestanding dishwasher and washing machine and a wall-mounted boiler for the gas-fired central heating.

On the first floor, there is a finely-proportioned sitting room, also with an oak floor. This superb dual-aspect room has a brick fireplace to one corner with an inset wood burning stove. An inner hall then gives access to one double bedroom, with fitted wardrobes and a window to the rear, and into a well-presented shower room.

The spiral staircase then rises to the second floor landing, where there is a double glazed window and door to the rear (opening to the area of flat roof below) with a lovely outlook beyond. On the second floor, there are two further bedrooms, one of which is a particularly generous size and both include fitted wardrobes.

The property is situated in the town centre which offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including shops, bakeries, popular cafés and eateries, a Tesco supermarket, a primary school, churches, a Post Office, pubs, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, a library and a veterinary surgery.

Huish Episcopi Academy with adjoining sixth form and sports centre with sporting facilities for all ages, is nearby at Huish Episcopi. For those seeking private education, Taunton, Street (Millfield), Bruton (Kings) and Sparkford (Hazelgrove) are all within commuting distance.

There are mainline rail links at Taunton, Yeovil and Castle Cary and the M5 motorway can be accessed at Junction 25 (Taunton) and Junction 24 (Bridgwater). Langport is surrounded by idyllic countryside that is steeped in history and provides excellent routes for walking and cycling. Nearby attractions include National Trust and English Heritage properties, beautiful gardens, conservation areas and RSPB and Wildlife Trust reserves.

To the rear of the property is an enclosed, walled courtyard, which is mainly laid to patio and a raised section of artificial grass, with planted borders. There is ample space for outdoor seating and to the side, rear access into the aforementioned under-cover storage area (perfect for outdoor equipment, bicycles etc.), continuing back into the hall. Whilst there is no allocated parking with the property, there is on-street parking on The Hill and there are car parks within Langport town centre which offer parking free of charge.
