Herbert Street, Taunton, Somerset

A truly incredible, three double bedroom period house, which has been extended and beautifully modernised throughout, occupying a lovely position close to Taunton Train Station. The house was originally built in in 1875 and has been in the care of the current owners since 2023. You enter through the front door into the entrance porch, with the original and restored front door, opening to the principal open plan reception room.

The living room is situated at the front of the house and has a bay window to the front aspect, allowing for lots of natural light. The room has been made open plan to the dining room and staircase, giving a wonderful feeling of space, with room for lounge and dining areas. There is also a wood burning stove installed in the dining area and a door opening through to the kitchen.

The Owners Love - The current owner bought this as they needed a house with lots of space and wanted something that was ‘turn key’ ready. They particularly loved “the sense of space, with the open plan layout and extended kitchen”. They will mostly miss “the spacious kitchen area” which they have loved as an entertaining space when they have friends and family over. They have also found the loft bedroom a great space and been perfect as an older child’s bedroom.

The kitchen is situated at the rear of the house and has been extended to create a wonderful, bright open space with a Velux window and French doors opening to the garden. It is fitted with variety of contemporary wall and base units with work surfaces over and inset sink and drainer. There is a built-in high-level oven, grill and four-ring gas hob with hood over. The utility room has space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dryer, as well as a door opening to the downstairs WC with washbasin.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors opening to two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a good size and benefits from a window to the front aspect. There are also large bespoke built in wardrobes. The second bedroom has a window to the rear aspect overlooking the rear garden and has a lovely, exposed brickwork chimney. The bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite including WC, washbasin, corner shower and a large double ended bath. The airing cupboard houses the gas combination boiler. The loft bedroom is a good size double and has ample eves storage, and Velux windows.

George Loves - “I love the space this property has! I was blown away by just how spacious it is once inside! You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and that is certainly the case here. It makes this property really stand out as something extra special compared to the competition in the area. An absolute must see house!”

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a courtyard garden. The area is enclosed by timber fencing and has rear gated access. It enjoys a ‘snug’ area, currently used as an office, which benefits from double glazing, lighting, power and a wood burning stove. This room could be utilised for a variety of uses.
