Set on about 0.75 acre, this substantial 1920s detached house offers spacious family living with clear development upside. The house extends to approximately 3,265 sq ft with five double bedrooms, five reception rooms and sizeable established gardens backing onto open countryside. A double garage and ample driveway parking sit behind secure gated access. The property is offered chain free.
A major value driver is the full planning permission (ref 42/22/0058) to demolish an outbuilding and erect one detached dwelling within the grounds (granted GIA 2,836 sq ft). That consent creates an opportunity for additional capital or extended family accommodation, subject to compliance with the permission and build costs.
Internally the house retains period character — high ceilings, bay windows, parquet and decorative detailing — but will suit buyers prepared to modernise parts of the layout and services to contemporary standards. There are two main bathrooms (one ensuite) for five bedrooms and some rooms may need updating to match modern family expectations.
Practical matters to note: the property sits in council tax band G (relatively expensive) and occupies a prominent, mature plot where garden maintenance and any future build will need proper surveying and contractor budgeting. Excellent local schools, transport links to Taunton and nearby M5 access make this a strong family location, while the planning consent will also attract investors or buyers seeking development potential.
