Light, space and modern finishes define this detached family home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Ruishton. The ground floor’s open-plan layout centres on a newly fitted kitchen that flows into a dining area and a bright living room with a wood-burning stove — practical spaces for everyday family life and weekend entertaining. A ground-floor WC and useful circulation make daily routines easier.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a well-equipped bathroom. The former garage has been converted into a home gym/beauty room, adding flexible living space for a home office, hobby room or play area. The secluded rear garden with a partly covered entertainment deck and low‑maintenance lawn extends the living space outdoors and provides good privacy for children and guests.
Practical pros include off-street parking, gas central heating, double glazing and a modest overall footprint offering manageable upkeep. The location benefits commuters with quick access to the M5 and local walks along nearby countryside and the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal.
A few points to note: broadband speeds are reported as average and council tax is above local average. The garage conversion increases usable space but may not provide the same storage or vehicle parking as an original garage. For families, the closest state secondary (Monkton Wood Academy) currently has an Inadequate Ofsted rating, though primary schooling locally is rated Good.
Overall this newly renovated, mid‑late 20th century detached house suits buyers seeking a modern, low‑maintenance family home with flexible rooms and a private garden in a peaceful village setting.
