Kingston Road, Taunton, Somerset

A delightful two double bedroom period house, which is beautifully presented throughout, occupying a lovely position close to Taunton Town Centre and Train Station. The house was built in the late 1800’s and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2021. You enter through the front door into the entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is situated at the front of the house and enjoys high ceilings and a feature fireplace giving it a grand feel. The bay window at the front is fitted with Venetian style shutters, giving the room a stylish finish. Beyond here is the dining room, fitted with a wood burning stove and finished with wooden panelling, with an opening to the kitchen and a window overlooking the garden.

The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of Taunton town centre and all its amenities just a stone throw from the front door. They particularly love “the short distance to pop into town to pick up the essentials or go for food and drinks” which has made the lifestyle of living here very enjoyable for them. They will mostly miss “the secluded patio area that they have created in the garden” which they have loved and is a perfect retreat for a drink in the summer months. They have also found the access to the main line railway station and the M5 motorway at junction 25 has also being really beneficial.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of upgraded wall and base units with solid wood work surfaces over and inset Belfast style sink. There is a built-in oven with a four-ring induction hob and hood over, space for fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is a door and an opening through to the utility area, which provides excellent storage space and has space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a door leading to the downstairs WC.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there is a loft access hatch and doors to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is a great size and benefits from a window to the front aspect, exposed wooden floors and a feature chimneybreast. The second bedroom is again a good size with a window to the rear aspect overlooking the rear garden and an original feature fireplace. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and bath with shower over. There is also an airing cupboard, which houses the boiler which was replaced in 2018.

George Loves - “I love the original features and characterful charm this property has! It has clearly been so well looked after and cared for by the owners. The rear garden is larger than you would expect for a property of this period and the off-road parking, as well as secluded patio area really is something special. It makes this property really stand out from other homes like this with tiny rear courtyards and no parking. An absolute must see house!”

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a well laid out garden. Initially, there is an upgraded patio area which is private and secluded. Beyond that is a raised lawn with steps and a path leading to the large timber shed and parking area, which is laid to chippings. There is vehicle and pedestrian access from the rear and side gated access from the front.
