Extended 4-bed period cottage on 1.25 acres, five miles from Taunton.
Extended 4-bedroom detached period cottage with contemporary updates
Set within about 1.25 acres and located roughly five miles from Taunton, this extended four-bedroom detached period cottage blends original character with contemporary living. The home offers bright, open reception rooms with exposed beams, a full‑width glazed elevation to the garden and a four-sided woodburner — ideal for family living and entertaining. The landscaped grounds and large paved terrace take full advantage of the elevated countryside outlook.
Accommodation is arranged on a single storey and includes an entrance/boot room, open-plan kitchen/family room with island, dining room with inglenook fireplace, living room with sliding doors to the garden, a master bedroom with ensuite, three further bedrooms, and three bathrooms in total. Practical extras include a garage and generous driveway parking, making it convenient for family vehicles and visitors.
Buyers should note the property’s construction and services: stone (granite/whinstone) walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. These factors may mean higher running costs and potential improvement works (insulation, heating upgrade, broadband solutions) to bring the house to modern efficiency standards.
This cottage will appeal to families or those seeking a rural home with substantial grounds, country views and close access to Taunton’s amenities and transport links. There is scope for modest extension or landscaping subject to planning, but any major structural or energy-efficiency works should be budgeted for.
