East Lyng, Taunton, Somerset, TA3

A pretty double fronted period cottage with ample off road parking and generous rear gardens enjoying views over the Somerset Levels. No onward chain.


This attractive period cottage is believed to date back to the late 18th Century and is of weathered brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The property boasts a wealth of character features, namely flagstone flooring, open fireplaces and original floorboards and has been tastefully renovated by the present owners retaining all the of the features you would expect from a property of this era. Modifications include handmade double glazed windows and a ground source heat pump, further adding to its appeal. In brief the accommodation comprises a cross passage hallway with symmetrical reception rooms to either side, both enjoying open fireplaces with log burning stoves and to the rear is a good size kitchen with chique base units and a range cooker is set within a brick inglenook fireplace. To the rear is a utility/boiler room and wet room. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles and a modern family bathroom. To fully appreciate the charm and character and feel of this delightful period cottage a viewing I highly recommended.

The property occupies an elevated position and has never flooded in the middle of the village of East Lyng which lies 7 miles to the east of Taunton and approached from the main Taunton to Glastonbury Road. Local facilities are available at North Curry about 2 miles away where primary schooling, café, post office, convenience store, pub and healthcare centre are available. A regular bus service operates to Taunton where a wide range of shopping recreational and scholastic facilities will be found, including a direct line rail link to London, Paddington and the M5 interchange. The cities of Bristol and Exeter both lie within an hours drive, hosting international airports.

The property is approached off the public highway over a gravelled driveway, flanked on either side by raised brick flowerbeds. The drive provides parking for several vehicles which comes at a premium in East Lyng and has space for a garage (STP). Immediately to the rear of the house is a courtyard with outside seating area and steps up lead to a generous lawned garden interspersed with a number mature shrubs, trees and bushes and also containing a garden shed.
