Bankers Castle, Higher Road, Taunton

DESCRIPTION
We are delighted to offer this fabulous three bedroom detached house with outbuildings, parking, garaging and situated in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of Curry Mallet. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, study, kitchen/breakfast room, WC, dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. Although now in need of general redecoration, Bankers Castle offers any buyer an exciting and versatile blank canvas to truly make their own. The well-fitted, dual aspect kitchen is a sociable space and incorporates a dining area too. The sitting room is a wonderful setting to unwind with family and friends throughout the seasons, with a bay window allowing plenty of light, semi-vaulted ceiling and a central fireplace making an attractive focal point and a practical source of heat. For those who enjoy formal entertaining, the dining room is the perfect room in which to do so, with exposed beams, plenty of natural light and plenty of space for a large dining table. There is also a useful study, with lovely views out to the garden, which will be of note for those who work from home. The three bedrooms to the first floor are all well proportioned with two doubles and single. The single room benefits from its own WC whilst the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and shower facilities. There is, subject to any necessary consents, obvious scope for some re-design, should one wish. There are few properties offering such a remarkable location, with so much scope to work with. We strongly encourage viewings to appreciate all that Bankers Castle has to offer.
