Pen Elm, Taunton, Somerset, TA2

SELLER INSIGHT
We are so fortunate to have the best of both worlds, close proximity to all the services required - pubs, doctors, post office etc all within walking distance yet full and open countryside on our back door step.
Just look out through our open bifold doors and you can watch the deer go by, the rabbits, pheasants and sparrow hawks, it really is amazing - such a great view!

STEP INSIDE

Designed by the owners to an exceptional specification, Great view offers accessible accommodation on both the ground and first floor living spaces. Underfloor heating with Bluetooth controls allows ambient temperatures to be set for every room along with 250 litre hot water storage tank ensuring endless supply of hot water.
The heart of the home is the stunning open plan kitchen/family/dining room that makes the very best of the beautiful views with two sets of bifold doors opening onto the glass screened balcony to the rear. The beautifully equipped kitchen has been fitted with a breakfast bar, hot tap, integrated appliances including two fridge freezers, warming drawer, microwave, oven, dishwasher and range cooker as well as a larder/pantry cupboard.
A double-sided fireplace fitted with a double-sided glass wood burner is a lovely addition to both to the snug/sitting room as well as the main kitchen/family room. A well-appointed utility room also features a connecting boot room, providing a discreet space to store muddy boots and outdoor gear, keeping the rest of the house pristine and clutter-free.

The principle bedroom has been designed with a touch of luxury with bifold doors onto the rear patio and offering en-suite dressing room along with an additional dressing area leading to the beautifully fitted en-suite shower room. Patio doors from the bedroom open onto a covered area currently arranged as a gym/exercise area with jacuzzi, power and lighting – looking out onto the beautiful views.

Three further bedrooms, a beautifully appointed family bathroom and two additional cloakrooms are on the ground floor.

GUEST APARTMENT

Part of this clever design is the first-floor apartment that can be incorporated into the main house or used as an entirely separate unit of accommodation for a family member. Stairs from the hallway have been designed to accommodate a lift in the future, this property is certainly future proofed.

An additional staircase from the car port leads to a private front door. There is an open plan kitchen/living room along with two double bedrooms and shower room – with Velux style windows to the rear.
