Newport, Wrantage, Taunton, Somerset, TA3

A character detached country cottage with planning consent to extend and with the benefit of good sized gardens and paddock in all about 1.4 acres.

Woodlea is an appealing detached period cottage, thought to date back in excess of 200 years, presenting a blend of character and modern comfort throughout.

The accommodation includes a welcoming sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove set within an inglenook-style fireplace, along with window seating and an original front door providing external access.

Adjacent to this is a dining room, which leads through to a well-appointed refitted kitchen, complete with granite work surfaces and a selection of integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a contemporary shower room incorporating a practical plant area. The entrance hall also provides access to a study, ideal for those working from home, as well as a conservatory/garden room extension with views over the surrounding grounds. Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized bedrooms, served by a modernised family bathroom.

In addition, planning permission has been granted to extend the property and connect the main house to the garage, creating further accommodation that would include a guest bedroom with en suite facilities and kitchenette, offering excellent scope for future development.

Woodlea is situated in a small hamlet of Newport which lies between the villages of Wrantage and North Curry the latter in particular, affording an excellent range of village amenities including a health centre, popular pub, village stores and post office and a superb parish church. There is a strong community spirit and local events are held on a regular basis. Taunton the County Town lies some seven miles away to the West, where a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities will be found including several noted public schools. The M5 may be joined at junction 25 about 3 miles away and the A303 can easily be joined at Ilminster about 5 miles to the South.

The outdoor space is a particularly appealing aspect of the property, with gardens predominantly laid to lawn enjoying views of open countryside and woodland in the distance. The front of the house includes trees, shrubs, and well-stocked borders including a beautiful wisteria further adding to its charm and character.
A spacious gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a garage with an adjoining log store.

To the south of the house is a paddock, well suited to those with equestrian or smallholding interests. In total, the grounds extend to approximately 1.4 acres.
