Firepool View, Taunton, Somerset, TA1

A luxury penthouse apartment benefitting from two balconies overlooking the river Tone and stunning views towards the Blackdown Hills.


This unique penthouse apartment was constructed in 2014 by Crest Nicholson and spans the whole of the top floor of the building. The property is flooded with natural light and overlooks the river Tone with the therapeutic sound of running water from the weir. The accommodation is presented in excellent order throughout and has been used as a second home since new and has had very little use. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall with a utility cupboard on your right hand side, and a well-appointed family bathroom lies opposite on the left complete with W.C., handwash basin and fitted panel bath with shower over. The main living space is a fabulous open plan room fitted with a modern kitchen containing a number of integral appliances enjoys a Juliette balcony and from the dining area sliding doors give access to a large balcony which faces west, perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. The master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and has an en-suite shower room with W.C. and handwash basin. There is also a second south facing balcony which is shared with the second bedroom which is also a double. The apartment has an allocated parking for 1 vehicle and access to a shared bin store and bike shed. There is also a communal orchard adjacent to the parking area.

Maintenance work to the roof, gutters, external walls and balconies is scheduled in the near future.
