A rare larger-than-average Victorian terrace in central Taunton, formerly The Somerset Inn, now with residential planning consent for change of use. The building spreads over three floors and retains generous, flexible space including the former bar area, skittle alley, sheltered internal courtyard and an internal workshop — a strong starting point for conversion to multiple bedrooms or a spacious family home.
Key positives include off-street parking for two vehicles, central town location opposite Victoria Park, and good transport links to the M5 and Taunton station. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living or short-term lettings; the property is sold freehold and chain free, simplifying purchase and delivery of works.
The house requires substantial refurbishment throughout — cosmetic and likely deeper works are needed to make it fully residential. The area is classed as deprived with a high local crime rate, which may affect lettings or resale values; buyers should factor in security and management costs. There is no flood risk, but the plot is small and outdoor space is limited to the internal courtyard.
This is primarily an investment or refurbishment opportunity: suitable for developers, landlords or experienced DIY buyers comfortable with planning and conversion projects. The existing residential consent reduces planning uncertainty, but full refurbishment and fit-out will be required to unlock the property’s value.
