Dating back to the 1830’s, Arlington House is a deceptive home on Bow Street at the heart of the historic market town of Langport. The property enjoys a fantastic garden to the rear - a peaceful escape at the centre of the town.

The property is accessed through a short passageway from the road, through a solid wooden door and into a porch area with ample space for hanging, and a glass atrium that allows in plenty of light. The entirety of the downstairs is laid with attractive flagstones and enjoy various small alcoves and recessed shelving suggesting the history of the building. To the left of the entrance is the dining area, with ample room for a large dining table and hosting a small cupboard and some shelving. Beyond the dining room is the sitting room. A pleasant room with large window harking back to the home’s prior use as a shop front, which lets in plenty of light. There is space for a woodburninig stove and a further door (currently unused) leads back into the passageway.

To the rear of the downstairs is the kitchen. A long room hosting a range of base units with worktops over, a 5-ring gas hob and extractor hood over, one-and-a-half stainless steel sink, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dyer, and space for a fridge. Skylights allow plenty of light into the room, beyond which is a small rear lobby with door to the back, and a downstairs cloakroom, featuring low-level WC and hand basin.

Carpeted stairs rise from between the sitting and dining rooms to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms, both carpeted and hosting a wardrobe in each. The family bathroom is on this floor; tastefully decorated and tiled in all the right places, featuring a panel bath with shower over, low-level WC and hand basin.

Further stairs rise from the landing to the second floor, where a further two carpeted, large double bedrooms are located to the front and rear of the property, with an airing cupboard being housed in bedroom three.

Arlington House is a short level walk from the town centre which offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including shops, supermarket, schools, churches, post office and inns, doctors' and dentists' surgeries, library, veterinary surgery etc.

Huish Episcopi Academy with its adjoining sixth form and sports centre with sporting facilities for all ages, is nearby at Huish Episcopi.

There are main line rail links at Taunton, Yeovil and Castle Cary and the M5 motorway can be accessed at junction 25 (Taunton) and junction 24 (Bridgwater).

Langport is surrounded by excellent walking and cycling country that is steeped in history. Nearby attractions include National Trust and English Heritage properties, beautiful gardens, conservation areas and RSPB and Wildlife Trust reserves.

Immediately to the rear of the home is a small courtyard area laid with gravel and a circular patio, offering a perfect, private suntrap. Beyond this, a short path leads through to a stunning rear garden; a real haven in the centre of the town. The principle area of garden is laid mostly to lawn, with curved borders which help create a highly attractive space. An assortment of young trees and shrubs border the lawn whilst a pair of raised beds occupy a section to the front of the garden, again with some attractive planting in one. A shale chipping area offers an opportunity to sit with a view of the garden - which enjoys the sun all day round due to its southerly orientation. Adjacent to this is a recently erected garden office, which is fully insulated and is equipped with power and WiFi, enjoying a pair of windows with attractive views across the garden. Adjoining the office is a handy open-fronted store and a further large shed offering ample storage opportunities.
