Thornfalcon, Taunton, TA3

A charming Grade II Listed farmhouse, together with a converted Granary containing 9 letting rooms providing a significant income stream. In all about 4.45 acres.

This charming period farmhouse is believed to date back to the 16th Century and is well worthy of it’s Grade II Listed status. The accommodation boasts a wealth of character features, briefly comprising a cross passage hallway, to the side is a large sitting room with inglenook fireplace and a door off leads to a second hall where there is a snug/living room, again with an inglenook and a Clear View wood burning stove. The breakfast room with oil fired Aga adjoins and an opening leading to the kitchen with a range of modern wall and base units. Also on the ground floor is a shower room, large utility and workshop. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and master en-suite. The house, although well-maintained, would now benefit from some remodelling and updating but has the potential to create a superb family home.

THE GRANARY
Adjacent to the main house is the Granary, a stunning stone barn which has been converted into 7 fully furnished en-suite letting rooms on the ground floor and a two bedroom flat with kitchen on the first. Until recently this has been used as a thriving B&B and was very successful due to the close proximity to M5 and A303.

The property is set back from a country lane down a long tree lined driveway which sweeps in front of the house and continues to the Granary and outbuildings. The primary gardens lie to the rear and are beautifully manicured, mainly lawned and interspersed with a number of mature shrubs, trees and bushes. Adjoining to the north is a large soft fruit and vegetable garden, together with a single storey livestock shed, perfect for lambing. Behind the Granary is a large guest parking area and carport, along with a number of agricultural barns, currently used for storage and garaging.
The land associated with the property lies to the north and east and comprises two level enclosures of permanent pasture, contained within natural hedgerow boundaries, perfect for equestrian or agricultural purposes. In total the property extends to 4.5 acres, as shown on the attached identification plan.
