Milverton, Taunton, Somerset, TA4

An attractive Grade II Listed attached house now in need of remodelling and up-dating and set within large private gardens and grounds of about 0.38 of an acre.



The Bell House has previously been let as two flats but is better suited to a single dwelling, perfect for a young family or someone wanting to downsize to a village with excellent amenities. Constructed of local stone elevations under a pitched slated roof, the property has an attractive façade and briefly comprises an entrance hall which leads to a fabulous sitting room with bay window. To the rear are two further reception rooms formerly used as bedrooms. They are divided by a stud wall which could be removed subject to any necessary consents to create an open plan room. Also on this floor is a bathroom, dining room and kitchen. Upstairs currently is a second kitchen, sitting room, bathroom and two further bedrooms but this could easily be remodelled to sleeping accommodation. The real selling point of this property is its attractive period features and generous gardens, in all extending to 0.38 of an acre.

The property occupies an enviable position at the bottom of the high street which is a no through road and enjoys a great deal of privacy and seclusion. The village centre is within walking distance and is regarded as one of the premier addresses within the district. Local facilities include primary schooling, doctors surgery, convenience store and pub whilst Taunton is readily accessible via the nearby B3227 where a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities will be found including three noted independent schools, sixth form college and major hospital. The town of Wellington is somewhat closer about 4 miles away which also offers a good range of amenities. The surrounding district is one of high quality, attractive countryside and there are numerous local footpaths that provide easy access to the adjoining area. Both Exmoor National Park and the Brendon Hills are within easy striking distance where a variety of sporting pursuits may be enjoyed. Taunton enjoys excellent communication links to the rest of the UK with fast rail service to London Paddington and M5 interchange (Junction 25). The M5 may also be joined at Wellington (Junction 26).

The property is approached off a no through road with attractive stone pillars. A tarmacadam drive leads up to a car parking and turning area where there is access to a garage and garden shed. The gardens here are predominantly lawned, contained within mature hedging providing privacy and to the side is a small courtyard contained within stone walling. A side gate access to the rear garden which are again lawned and of a good size containing a summer house and former vegetable garden.
