Portland Street, Taunton, Somerset, TA1

Full of charm, character and individuality, this truly unique home offers something rarely found in the area. Formerly an old music shop, the property has been beautifully transformed over the years into a warm and stylish home that perfectly blends personality with practical living, while still retaining a wonderful sense of its history.

From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate feeling that this is a home unlike any other. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, with each room thoughtfully decorated to complement the property’s original character. The lounge is particularly inviting, centred around a wood burning stove and finished with stunning lime wash walls that create a cosy yet elegant atmosphere, the perfect space to unwind on winter evenings.

The kitchen/diner offers a sociable heart to the home with generous proportions ideal for entertaining and family life, while additional reception space provides flexibility for relaxing, working from home or hosting guests. Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-proportioned and full of natural light, served by a beautifully appointed bathroom complete with a striking free-standing bath that adds to the home’s boutique feel.

One of the standout features is the fantastic south-facing roof terrace, a completely unexpected and incredibly special space. Bathed in sunlight throughout the day, it is easy to imagine long relaxing evenings here enjoying the last of the sun with a glass of wine after work.

The lifestyle on offer here is just as appealing as the property itself. The owners have loved the wonderful sense of community locally, with short walks into town for coffee and peaceful strolls through French Weir Park.

Homes with this much personality, charm and history rarely become available, especially in such a convenient and well-loved location.
James Loves:
"There’s something incredibly special about the character of this home — every room feels unique, and the roof terrace is the perfect place to relax and catch the evening sun."
