10‑year Build Zone warranty for peace of mind
Set within an exclusive three-barn development between Taunton and North Petherton, Orchard Barn is a spacious four‑bedroom single‑level home combining contemporary comfort with countryside privacy. The property arrives as a new build with a 10‑year Build Zone warranty and high‑spec fixtures, including air‑source underfloor heating and bespoke kitchens and bathrooms, so day‑to‑day living is efficient and comfortable.
The plot is one of the largest on the scheme with expansive gardens ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. There is scope to extend internal living by reconfiguring the integral carport into additional accommodation (subject to planning), while a detached double carport and private driveway preserve off‑street parking and privacy. An option exists to purchase the adjoining c.4 acres with its own access for more extensive outdoor use.
Practical considerations are clear: the location is rural and relatively isolated, with very slow fixed‑line broadband and an area classed as deprived, which may affect commuting, home working and access to some services. Broadband and planning for carport conversion should be confirmed before purchase. Nearby villages provide schools rated Good or Outstanding and local amenities, and crime levels are low, making this a peaceful family retreat with real long‑term potential.
