The bustling town of Taunton doesn’t shout about its many positive attributes - and as one of the most desirable locations in the area it really doesn’t need to. The ease of access to excellent schools and a wealth of leisure, medical and recreational facilities provide all amenities at a stone’s throw. Transport links are excellent making the commute and further travel a doddle. It really does have it all.

The hallway leads to the open concept living space as well as the kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. Light floods through every room thanks to large windows and the beautiful balcony – and those views are everything.

The bright, spacious living space with its bounty of floor to ceiling windows and glass doors overlooking the balcony and beyond is a real showstopper.
