Set on a large, secluded plot in Hillfarrance, this individually designed three-bedroom detached home offers panoramic views across the Quantock Hills and surrounding farmland. Built in 2001 on the footprint of original Victorian cottages, it combines traditional character (exposed beam, oak floors) with practical modern comforts, including mains gas central heating, a boarded insulated loft and double glazing on much of the property.
Living space works well for family life: a lounge with feature gas fire, a fully insulated sun room opening to the garden, separate dining room and a neatly fitted kitchen with integrated Neff oven and hob. Ground-floor oak flooring and a galleried landing give the home a smart, cohesive feel. Outside there are landscaped beds, split-level patios, a summer house, potting shed/drying room, garage and ample off-street parking accessed via a recently landscaped driveway.
The house sits in a quiet hamlet with low crime and easy access to Taunton, Wellington and the M5 (J26). Local amenities include a village pub and church, public footpaths and nearby primary and independent schooling options, making it suitable for families seeking rural life with reasonable commuter links.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect home working. The third bedroom is small and described with a single-glazed window, so it’s better suited as a study or occasional guest room unless upgraded. Council tax is above average. Prospective buyers should arrange their own service checks and surveys — mains services have not been independently tested.
