Staplegrove Road, Taunton

A rare opportunity to acquire this incredible four double bedroom Victorian residence, which has been tastefully presented by the current owners, occupying an idyllic position just a short reach from Taunton Town Centre and Taunton School. The main house was built circa 1900 and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2022.

You enter through the side door into a welcoming entrance hall, with original tiled flooring, storage cupboard and a staircase rising to the first floor. There is a selection of two spacious and welcoming reception rooms, with the living room and study situated off the entrance hallway. Both rooms have lovely features including each enjoying large bay windows with shutters to the front aspect, high ceilings and exposed original wooden floors. The living room has fireplace with an inset wood burning stove, which provides a focal point for the room and there is a gas fire in the study.

The Owners Love - “The beautiful character features of this house. It is like a perfect combination of period styling but with the conveniences of modern living”. They are particularly proud of “the work we did to the house including updating the family bathroom and the master suite, as well as the full network upgrade in all rooms including the gym and garage, with 5.88 kw solar PV system. We have also really enjoyed the balance of being close to amenities, Taunton School and transport links, yet also being far enough from town that it has a quiet and tranquil feeling”.

The kitchen dining room is located to the rear of the house and is beautifully finished with a range of base and wall mounted cupboards with granite worktops over, inset sink, with drainer and space for a large Rangemaster cooker. A door opens to the utility room, with additional fitted units with worksurfaces over, space for a fridge freezer and a utility cupboard, with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. A door opens to the downstairs WC with wash basin. Beyond the kitchen, at the back of the house is the family/garden room, with large bi-folding doors opening to the garden, making it the perfect spot to relax with a drink and enjoy the view.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors opening to the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is a wonderful size and enjoys a spacious en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, a large walk-in shower, WC & washbasin. There are three further bedrooms with two large double rooms at the front of the house, one with fitted wardrobes and both with feature fireplaces, and the fourth bedroom, currently used as an office, all fitted with shutters. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, twin washbasins, bath with shower over and again benefits from underfloor heating.

George Loves - “I love the blend of original features and characterful charm this property has, which has been met with some modern additions over the years with various extensions to improve and utilise the space! The moment I came through the front door, I fell in love! Also, having a similar age house, I can see just how much work has gone into creating and maintaining such a beautiful home. However, it’s the location for me that is the biggest selling point. These types of period town houses with such sought after positions so rarely come up for sale and it’s clear to see why. You are not only buying a house, but an entire lifestyle here”.

Outside, the house is approached with a side driveway, which leads up to a large, hard standing parking area with space for numerous vehicles and a large garage with electric roller doors and has power and light connected, as well as having solar panels installed on the roof. Behind here, there is a home gym, which is a versatile ancillary building and could be utilised for a variety of purposes, including home office or studio/treatment room. The main garden is at the rear of the house, with fenced borders along the boundary and a gate at the bottom of the garden with access to the garage and parking. Outside the bi-fold doors, there is a large patio area and is entirely private. The garden is then predominantly laid to lawn, with a variety of mature trees and plants. The aspect is southwest, perfect for afternoon sun!
