Summary - WESTHAY KINGSTON ST MARY TAUNTON TA2 8HW
7 bed 6 bath Detached
Secluded estate with pool, outbuildings and easy access to Taunton.
Nearly seven acres of established, diverse gardens and arboretum
Set within almost seven acres on the southern edge of the Quantock Hills, this Grade II-listed early 18th-century house offers expansive family living with character and mature gardens. The current owners have completed a sympathetic renovation, retaining original features such as exposed beams, sash windows and open fireplaces while delivering refreshed kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces suited to modern family life.
The property presents strong practical assets: five reception rooms, seven bedrooms (several with en suites), extensive outbuildings including garages and stables, a swimming pool and generous parking in a central courtyard. Two rear bedrooms and ground-floor living space can form a self-contained annexe, useful for multigenerational living or staff accommodation. Taunton rail station is a short drive away for commuter links to Bristol and London.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate further work. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators and walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, which will affect running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. There is a medium flood risk and council tax is high (Band G), factors to weigh for ongoing costs and insurance.
For a family seeking a private, characterful estate with room for hobbies, gardening and flexible living, this house delivers rare scale and setting. Buyers should allow for the limitations imposed by listed status, consider energy and connectivity upgrades, and plan for ongoing garden and pool maintenance across this substantial plot.
