Summary - THE OLD POST OFFICE SKILGATE TAUNTON TA4 2DQ
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious character home with extensive private gardens near Exmoor.
4 double bedrooms, three with en suites and separate family bathroom
A substantial period home set in the heart of Skilgate, The Old Post House combines generous living space with carefully preserved character. The house offers four double bedrooms (three with en suites), a large drawing room with inglenook and wood burner, a dining room, study/snug, garden room and a well-equipped kitchen and utility. Recent refurbishment has refreshed services while retaining original features such as bread ovens, beams and fireplaces.
The plot is a major selling point: exceptionally private, mature gardens with orchards, greenhouse, ponds, two summerhouses, ornate veranda, and defined kitchen-garden areas. Detached outbuilding currently houses a gym and a first-floor studio that could suit hobbies, a home office, or possible ancillary accommodation subject to permissions. Garage, parking and loft storage add practical space for family life.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. Heating is LPG with a mains gas boiler and radiators; drainage is private (buyers should confirm compliance). Broadband is FTTP with very fast potential speeds, but internal mobile signal is effectively none and external coverage is limited. EPC Band D and Council Tax Band F reflect running costs.
This home suits families or buyers seeking a characterful country residence within easy reach of Exmoor’s outdoor amenities, Tiverton and the M5. It offers a convenient blend of period charm, living space and garden privacy, but buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of older stone properties and check drainage compliance and mobile-signal needs.
