Location
Drayton is a small idyllic village less than two miles west of Langport. The properties lie in the heart of the village and tucked away down in a secluded position, close to the ancient church, a short walk to the pub and with rambling countryside views from the garden.
The surrounding countryside is absolutely beautiful and is accessible with many footpaths and bridleways. It is also ideal for cycling with its small lanes and little traffic (see Somerset Cycle Route).
The nearby towns of Langport, Somerton, Street, Taunton, Wells and Sherborne offer a wide range of amenities and a good choice of country pubs and restaurants.
Communications are excellent via the M5 motorway linking the north and south and the A303 to the east and west. Nearby Castle Cary provides a fast train link to London Paddington.
There is an excellent choice of state and independent schools including Huish Episcopi Academy, Millfield, Taunton School, and Sixth Form colleges at both Richard Huish, Taunton and Strode College in Street. There are also many cultural and artistic societies and organizations, sporting facilities, several good golf courses and numerous clubs for a wide variety of sports within this very active and friendly part of Somerset.
