SUMMARY
READY TO MOVE IN NOW WITH NO FORWARD CHAIN! A 7 bedroom, 2700 sq.ft single storey home. Spacious, high specification accommodation - This is a MUST SEE PROPERTY


DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Falkland Court. Top Quality Homes in a gated community. Lateral and light-filled living spaces are defined by clever architectural interventions and high-quality, staggeringly masterful finishes. The result is a series of interlinked spaces that sit in unbroken conversation with open countryside surrounding the development on a development stacked full of history. The development itself is a blended mix of conversions and new-build homes and yet is only a small scheme and not overcrowded. These executive homes that are mainly constructed of local blue lias stone demand attention and we believe a viewing is a must to see the quality and size of what is on offer.

On offer is 7 Falkland Court. a 7 bedroom conversion that is truly unique. The accomodation all on one floor consists of a Kitchen/Dining/Sitting Room, a large utility room, WC, 7 double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. This is the only plot that has its own private entrance and is certainly 'THE' property of the development. Outside it has a good sized garden along with a double garage and ample parking.

History 
Falkland Court sits on the former site of the Somerton Radio Station. When Somerton station opened in 1927 it was in the vanguard of technological advancement. It had its own electrical generating plant and electrical lighting. This was 3 years before electrical power was laid on in Somerton itself. At its height the site covered 600 acres mostly with aerials and masts and was the best receiving station in the region.

Somerton Radio station was considered strategically important as a receiving station for radio communications from America and was included in the 'Emergency Arrangements' for the Telegraph Communications between the UK and the United States, 1940.

Advances in technologies in the 80's made the station obsolete leading to the closure of all stations, Somerton being the last to close in 2000.

We hold further information on the history of the station and would be delighted to share this with any viewer.
