Parkfield Drive, Taunton, Somerset, TA1

Situated on a short, level walk between Musgrove Park Hospital and Taunton town centre, this large, detached family home has been thoughtfully extended and completely renovated with no onward chain.

Originally built in 1941, this family home has undergone a thorough renovation to include a new clay-tile roof, a modern heating system with new aluminium radiators and an efficient gas boiler which comes with a ten year parts and labour warranty.

The kitchen has been carefully designed by a cook to include workable preparation areas with plenty of storage. The hob is induction, the oven is both multi-sized and at eye level. There is space for a generous sized fridge/freezer with plumbing for both dishwasher and washing machine.

The extension has created a large, open plan dining/living room with two sets of French doors opening onto the enclosed rear garden.

The snug/bedroom five, has a period fireplace and is the only ground floor room overlooking the front garden and driveway.

The hall, staircase and landing have been sympathetically restored to enhance all the original English oak details which now look stunning. There is a useful understairs cupboard and cloakroom downstairs.

The master bedroom now has an ensuite shower room. An attic room has been created in the roof space which is accessed by a drop-down wooden ladder within the third bedroom. Unusually a home for this vintage, the fourth can accommodate a double bed.

Parkfield Drive lies at the heart of Parkfield Estate which is a highly sought after residential area. Local amenities include two supermarkets and a further smaller Marks & Spencer within Musgrove Park Hospital. Longrun Meadow is just a short stroll beyond Castle School and Taunton College. This tertiary college offers a good restaurant open to the public during term time and of course there are plenty of other restaurants within a twenty minute walk of the property. Taunton offers a wide range of chain and independent shops and several extremely well regarded schools, including King’s and Queen’s Collages and Taunton School. Taunton boasts a direct mainline rail link to London, Paddington and the cities of Exeter and Bristol can be found within an hour’s drive, both hosting international airports. The Blackdown and Quantock Hills can be found close by, both of which are Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offering a plethora of footpaths and bridleways.

The property and integral single garage are approached over a block-paved driveway, with space for four vehicles (and one in the garage). There is pedestrian access to the rear garden from both sides of the property. The enclosed rear garden has been designed to provide a private oasis attracting wildlife but being exceptionally low maintenance. On a bright day, there are seating areas both in the sun and the shade.
