The property occupies an accessible and central position within the small south Somerset village of Forton, close to the border with Devon and Dorset, surrounded by glorious unspoilt countryside and enjoying far reaching views. Although less than 2 miles from Chard this is a thriving close knit community with a variety of village activities. Chard itself offers a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, banks, educational and leisure facilities whilst the county town of Taunton is just 16 miles to the north. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 15 miles to the south at Lyme Regis and other nearby places of interest include the historic house of Forde Abbey and National Trust lands at Lamberts Castle. There are good road and rail communications with access to the M5 at Taunton (J25). Main line rail links to London Waterloo are available from Axminster, with links to London
Paddington available at Taunton. Access to the A303 at Ilminster provides an easy link to London and the south east with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The property is approached from the public highway via a gravelled driveway and visitor parking area that serves the whole development. There is parking to the front of the house and a substantial car port to the side allowing access to the rear garden. Extending to an estimated 0.75 Acres, there is a wide paved terrace and lawn and, beyond this, a large uncultivated paddock providing a blank canvas for purchasers to develop their own ideas.
