The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of Taunton town centre and all its amenities just a short walk from the front door. They particularly love “Our first home! When we bought this house back in 2020, we knew it was the one for us. Although it required some TLC, we loved the blank canvas for us to create a lovey home for ourselves. We have enjoyed restoring its character and bringing it back to its best. We hope the new owners will love it as much as we have!” They have also found the access to the main line railway station and the M5 motorway at junction 25 really beneficial.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of fitted wall and base units, with work surfaces over, tiled splash backs and inset sink with drainer. There is a built-in oven and a four-ring electric hob with extraction hood over. There is also space for a freestanding fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen, there is a utility room, with a window to the rear aspect, space and plumbing for a washing machine, wash basin, and a folding door to the WC.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are door to three bedrooms, and the family bathroom, as well as a second staircase rising to the top bedroom. The master bedroom is a great size and benefits from two windows to the front aspect, build in cupboard and exposed floorboards. The second bedroom is again a good size with a window to the rear aspect overlooking the garden and again with exposed floorboards. The bathroom is toward the back of the house, with a newly fitted, four-piece heritage style suite, including a freestanding clawfoot slipper bath, WC, washbasin, and tiled shower cubicle. Beyond that is the third bedroom, which is also a good size and has a window overlooking the rear garden. The top bedroom has built in storage and a window to the rear aspect.

George Loves - “I love the original features and characterful charm this property has! I have sold many period homes like this over the years, but I have to be honest, this is up there with the best of them! The sellers have done an incredible job here in restoring it to its former glory, whilst still retaining its period features. This one won’t hang around for long!”

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a well laid out south facing garden, which enjoys a good degree of privacy considering the well populated residential setting. Initially, there is a newly laid pathway made with reclaimed bricks, which wraps around to the courtyard seating area behind the house. The garden is then predominantly laid to lawn, which you step up into, with a variety of mature plants and shrubs around the borders. At the bottom, a gate opens to the rear, where there is an impressive, re-constructed garage/studio, which could be utilised for a variety of uses, complete with power, lighting, overhead skylights, and a remote-controlled electric roller door. At the front, there is a brick paved driveway providing off road parking and residents parking permits can be obtained for on street parking for visitors.
