An impressive four/five-bedroom period house, which is in need of some renovation throughout, occupying a convenient position very close to Taunton Train Station. The house was built circa 1877 and has been loved and enjoyed by the current owners since 1987. You enter through the front door via the side of the house into the entrance hall with, stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal ground floor reception rooms.
The living room is situated at the front of the house and enjoys high ceilings, fireplace with wood burning stove a large bay window at the front providing lots of natural light, and a lovely ceiling rose.. Beyond this is what might traditionally have been a dining room but currently used by the owners as a storage room. Beyond here, at the rear of the home is again what may historically have been a kitchen, which now sits in the room above. Currently, this is stripped back to brick and again used as a storage room.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of Taunton town centre and all its amenities just a short walk from the front door. They particularly love “the short distance to pop into town to pick up the essentials or nip down to catch a train to Bristol or beyond” which has made the lifestyle of living here very enjoyable for them. They will mostly miss “the easy access to the Quantock Hills” where there is an abundance of beautiful walks with the dogs. They have found the access to the main line railway station really beneficial.
Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors to what is currently the master bedroom and family bathroom at the front, and a kitchen and dining room at the rear. The master bedroom is a great size and benefits from a large window to the front aspect. Beside the master, there is the family bathroom, which is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin, and bath. The middle room, more traditionally a bedroom, is currently used as a dining room and at the rear of the house is the kitchen, fitted with a variety of units and with space for multiple appliances. From the landing, there are stairs to two further bedrooms on the top floor, both of which as a good size and one benefits from a small adjacent room, perfect for conversion to an ensuite or dressing room.
George Loves - “I love the fact that this house has so much potential! It has clearly been so well loved by the current owners but the time to put it up for sale and move onto pastures new has come. It is unusual to find a house like this, with work require, but with so many options and with attributes such as parking and a double garage in such a central location. It makes this property really stand out from other homes like it and is an absolute must see house if you want a bit of a project!”
Outside, to the rear of the property there is low maintenance garden. The garden is predominantly laid to patio and is enclosed by a brick wall, benefitting from side vehicle access via a roller door to the garden. Beyond the initial garden, is an electricity substation, with a path leading to the double garage. There is a front garden with the potential to create even more parking subject to permission.
