Summary - RAFTERS HONITON ROAD TRULL TAUNTON TA3 7JW
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large refurbished five-bedroom house on 0.3 acre, within Castle School catchment.
Five bedrooms across a split-level, family-focused layout
Set just off the village green in Trull, Rafters is a recently refurbished five-bedroom detached home on a generous 0.3 acre plot. The house has a dramatic split-level layout with vaulted, timber‑clad ceilings, large windows and bifold doors that open from the living and kitchen areas onto a private rear garden where evening sunsets are a notable feature. The spacious footprint (listed as approximately 2,450 sq ft) suits family living and entertaining, with a kitchen island, utility room and useful workshop/shed.
Practical features include a double garage, ample driveway parking, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing (installed before 2002). The property sits within Castle School catchment and is an easy walk to village amenities — shop, pub, primary school and tennis club — while Taunton town centre and its rail and road links are about 1.4 miles away.
Buyers should note material points factually: the house provides two bathrooms and a separate WC for five bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families; council tax is band G and described as quite expensive; the glazing dates from before 2002 and may not meet current efficiency expectations. The split-level arrangement and some original 1970s/80s construction elements mean the plan may not suit those needing single-level living or extensive accessibility adaptations.
Overall, Rafters will appeal to buyers seeking a sizeable, characterful home in a very affluent, low-crime village setting with strong school options and excellent local connectivity. It offers immediate move-in condition through recent refurbishment, while also giving scope for owners to personalise finishes and landscaping over time.
