Occupying the third floor of the iconic former Jellalabad Barracks, originally constructed in 1881 and now sympathetically converted into prestigious apartments, this beautifully presented home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Taunton's rich architectural history. Grade II listed and perfectly positioned beside the award-winning Vivary Park, the apartment effortlessly combines elegant period character with stylish contemporary living, all within a short stroll of the town centre.

George Loves - "Properties with this level of history, character and location are incredibly hard to find. The fact that this apartment occupies part of the beautifully converted former Barracks, built in 1881, whilst enjoying a position beside Vivary Park and just moments from the town centre, makes it a truly special offering. The thoughtful modernisation means you can enjoy all the charm of a period home without compromising on everyday comfort."

From the moment you arrive, the striking Victorian red brick façade and beautifully maintained communal grounds create an impressive first impression. Inside, the apartment continues to impress with its generous proportions, high ceilings, large sash windows and an abundance of natural light, all combining to create a home full of warmth and character.

The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a spacious living room, a wonderfully bright reception space where the impressive ceiling height and attractive fireplace provide a superb focal point. Large windows frame elevated views across the surrounding rooftops, enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity.

The separate kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a stylish range of shaker style units, new worktops and modern finishes, creating a compact, practical yet elegant space that complements the building's heritage. Twin sash windows flood the room with natural light while enjoying attractive far-reaching views.

There are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering generous proportions and ample space for freestanding furniture. The second bedroom provides excellent flexibility as a guest room, home office or dressing room. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully refitted contemporary shower room, finished to an excellent standard with a sleek walk-in shower and stylish fittings.
