This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Dorchester Road offers a practical family layout and a generous sunny rear garden ideal for children and outdoor living. The ground floor includes an L-shaped lounge/diner, kitchen with adjoining utility and a ground-floor shower room, while three first-floor bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate WC. The property is freehold and around 980 sq ft, making it a straightforward family purchase in a well-connected area of Taunton.
The house benefits from gas central heating, largely double glazing and off-street parking for one car. The current owner has carried out significant improvements, and the paved patio and lawn create usable outside space for summer entertaining. Local amenities, fast broadband and several primary schools rated Good make this a sensible choice for families seeking convenience and space.
Buyers should note practical maintenance points: some windows are single glazed, external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and may need upgrading, and interiors show typical mid-century construction that could benefit from further modernisation. The surrounding area has very high deprivation and above-average recorded crime rates, which buyers should weigh against the house’s internal condition and price point. Council tax is low, and the property carries potential both for improvement and for long-term family use.
