Summary - OAKE VIEW BUNGALOW OAKE TAUNTON TA4 1BB
5 bed 3 bath Detached
High-spec eco living on a substantial plot near Taunton.
Passivhaus certified with MVHR for filtered fresh air
A rare new-build Passivhaus in peaceful Oake, this five-bedroom detached home pairs high-end sustainable technology with family-sized accommodation. The property is built to rigorous energy standards, featuring a large solar array, high-capacity battery storage, solar thermal hot water, MVHR and a private borehole with on-site water treatment — all backed by a ten-year build warranty.
Internally the specification is contemporary and low-maintenance: bespoke kitchens, quality sanitaryware and large windows that flood rooms with light. Smart-home controls include automatic blinds, Velux climate-managed rooflights and integrated appliance packs, designed to make daily life easier and more comfortable year-round.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The house is supplied by an oil boiler and radiators rather than a communal gas network; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the property sits in a relatively remote, rural hamlet five miles from Taunton — ideal for countryside living but less convenient for daily commuting.
Overall this plot offers long-term running-cost savings, exceptional indoor air quality and a very large plot for outdoor family life. It will suit buyers who prioritise low-energy running, high build quality and rural privacy, and who accept trade-offs in connectivity and heating fuel choice.
