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!”

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 ceramic sink with drainer. There is a built-in high-level oven and an electric hob with extraction hood over. There is a built-in fridge freezer and also space and plumbing for a dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen, there is a storeroom, with a window to the rear aspect and doors to a WC and another to the garden.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors to two bedrooms, and the family bathroom, as well as a second staircase rising to the top bedroom.

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 good size South facing garden, which enjoys a good degree of privacy considering the well populated residential setting. Initially, there is a hardstanding area outside the kitchen door, which leads onto the lawn. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a variety of small plants and shrubs along the borders.
