The popular village of Roadwater is the closest settlement, affording a good level of local amenities with its pub, shop and post office. More extensive facilities are available at the small town of Williton which lies to the North-East or alternatively, the favoured coastal resort of Minehead. To the South East lies Taunton, with a range of facilities befitting those of a County and regional centre, as well as providing mainline rail connections and access to the M5 (J25). In itself, the property occupies a position within the South West renowned for both the diversity of its countryside and, the many varied sporting and recreational facilities available either within the immediate locality or further afield.

To the front of the property is a well maintained, spacious driveway laid to a stone gravel surface with electric gates on entrance. The parking area is sufficient for 6/7 vehicles with the potential to add a car port subject to planning. There is a stone workshop with a slate roof, with a further storage shed attached at the rear of the workshop suitable for gardening equipment storage, and a lean to area on the rear suitable for log storage. A pump has also been fitted in the stone workshop to increase water pressure in the house.

Following the path round to the rear of the property, the land opens out to a large rear garden laid to grass which extends to around 3/4 of an acre. There is a second driveway accessing the top of the garden which is suitable for additional parking. This land borders neighbouring pastureland with fantastic views over countryside and woodland. There are some mature trees and shrubs and a large storage area suitable for logs and outdoor furniture. Directly to the rear of the property, the garden opens out on to a large paved patio, giving way to the land and access to the front driveway.
