A rare 1930s detached family home offered for sale for the first time in 59 years, set on a generous quarter-acre plot just under a mile south of Taunton town centre. The house sits behind a private gravel driveway with off-street parking and a garage, and the large, well-manicured front and rear gardens provide a private, entertaining space with patio, summer house and mature planting.
Inside, the layout follows a traditional plan with a bright sitting room that opens to a conservatory, a separate dining room with bay window, kitchen with granite worktops and adjacent utility, study and a ground-floor cloakroom. Four well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms are served by a single family bathroom and separate WC. The property has double glazing and gas central heating and has been well maintained by the current owners.
This house will appeal to families who value outdoor space and proximity to good schools (King’s College, Richard Huish and Bishop Fox’s nearby) and convenient access into Taunton. It is also attractive to buyers seeking a period character home with scope to modernise internal space and layout to suit contemporary living.
Important practical points: the overall internal area is relatively small for a four-bedroom home (approx. 730 sq ft), and there is only one bathroom on the first floor. Council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should note the communal retirement classification of the wider area and the property’s layout and room sizes may limit some adaptation without investment.
