Description

Giles Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed thatched cottage, thought to date back to the early 1700s. This charming home is full of character and original features, including exposed wooden beams and a large inglenook fireplace, making it the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

Upon entering the cottage, you are welcomed into a cozy and inviting space. The generous sitting room is a standout feature, boasting a large inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove that enhances the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Opposite the sitting room is another spacious room, currently used as a dining room, but equally suitable as an additional reception space or study.

The rear of the cottage houses a well-proportioned galley kitchen with ample space for a breakfast table. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room, which accommodates the oil-fired boiler and provides access to the bathroom. The bathroom has been tastefully decorated in a modern style and features a corner shower as well as a freestanding roll-top bath, adding a touch of luxury. Additionally, the kitchen leads to a garden room, which includes a useful store and access to the picturesque garden.

Upstairs, the property comprises of two large double bedrooms, both offering plenty of space and character, as well as a conveniently located WC.

Outside, the property is a gardener’s paradise. The expansive garden has been designed for low maintenance, though it previously featured a vegetable patch and offers great scope for further landscaping. At the rear of the property, there is ample parking for several cars, including a double carport.

An added bonus is the set of stables, which are currently used for storage but present an exciting opportunity for conversion into a home office or potential annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Please note the following: The property has a septic tank that is currently non-compliant, but the vendor has arranged for an upgrade to meet current standards, and will commission this to be done. Due to weather conditions, this work is scheduled for June or July.

Additionally, the thatch has a few years of life left, and a quote has been obtained, which can be shared with any interested party.

Giles Cottage is situated in the tranquil hamlet of Outwood, West Lyng, Taunton, Somerset, within the picturesque South West region of England. The nearest bus stop, Woodcroft, is approximately 0.17 KM away, while Taunton Railway Station is just over 5 KM from the area, providing excellent transport links. Given its rural setting, local amenities are limited, however the nearby towns of Taunton and Bridgwater are excellent for shopping, healthcare, Schools, and other services.

This property offers a rare opportunity to own a characterful and historic home in a peaceful rural setting with canal walks and beautiful setting for bike rides and walks, while still enjoying easy access to transport links and essential amenities.
