Lodes Lane, Kingston St. Mary, Taunton, Somerset, TA2

A fantastically situated bungalow enjoying complete privacy and seclusion with fabulous gardens and rural views. No onward chain.


This charming detached property was originally a barn converted in the 1970’s and has been extended over time to provide a well proportioned 3 bedroom dwelling. The property has been in the same ownership for the last 20 years or so and although well maintained it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and possible further enlargement but has the potential to create a unique and exclusive village residence. The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall where there are three double bedrooms with master en-suite and a family bathroom. A short flight of stairs lead down to a fabulous living room with views over the gardens, vaulted ceiling and gas fired log burning stove. A set of folding louvred doors separate the dining area and a door gives access to a kitchen/breakfast room with conservatory off.
Outside is parking for two vehicles, an attached large spacious single garage and fabulous west facing terrace gardens to the front. The real selling point of this property is the position and setting which can only be fully appreciated when viewed.

The property occupies a delightful tucked away location along a no through road close to the centre of this much favoured village which lies three miles to the north of the County Town of Taunton. The Quantock Hills are within a short drive, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and where many bridleways and footpaths can be enjoyed. The village itself is regarded as one of the premier settlements in the Taunton Vale District and is dominated by an interesting mix of principally character properties, a popular village pub, primary school and attractive parish church. Taunton is within an easy drive some three miles away whereupon a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities can be found, including three noted public schools. Taunton offers good communication links with the rest of the U.K. with a fast rail service to London Paddington and M5 interchange (J25). International airports can be found at both Bristol and Exeter, both within an hours drive.

The property is approached over a private drive which is shared with just three other properties. To the rear of the house are two parking spaces and access to the integral garage. Planning permission is also in place to create a larger parking area which could be implemented if you so wished. The main gardens lie to the front which enjoy a westerly aspect and a rural outlook. Next to the conservatory is a raised sun terrace, perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining, accompanied by an area of lawn with well established borders and below are a series of terraces, again with fabulous, well stocked beds. To the side is a garden area with steps which lead down to a shed and a greenhouse and small fruit orchard.
