In a tucked away position within the heart of Kilmersdon, famed for its connections to the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme, stands this fine, architecturally designed family home. Completed in 1998 the focus of this remodelling was to create a home with generous communal areas, soaring ceilings and ensuring that the layout flows effortlessly throughout.
Entering the house, the reception hall functions like many houses with a cloakroom and storage area. It is not until reaching the central hallway which runs the length of the house with the formal sitting room at one end and staircase at the other, where one begins to understand what the design of this house hoped to achieve; a sense of spaciousness felt all around. The principal sitting room delivers this in style. Entering through sliding doors that recess into the walls, reveals a striking, vaulted wood panelled space which has a distinctive Scandinavian feel with large ceiling to floor windows that additionally offers access to the gardens, an elevated log burner providing a focus to a room that draws you in; this is a room you want to spend time in.
Returning to the inner hallway, a snug/family room and a home office both offer flexibility in their use and the kitchen/dining and family room is another space that has been given careful consideration in its conception. This important multifunctional family space beneath further vaulted ceilings is light and welcoming and incorporates a comprehensive kitchen which features an Aga, a dining and family area and an easily accessible utility area.
The staircase leads to a generous landing off which are the bedrooms and at the far end is a balcony that looks into the sitting room. There are three bedrooms in the main house which include the principal suite and a family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.
Outside
The attractive lawned gardens to The Tallat House are largely bounded by mature hedging offering a high degree of privacy. The grounds extend in total to approximately 0.5 acres and is home to a stunning open plan guest house which includes a kitchenette, and bathroom. This is ideal for visiting guests or may have a preferred use for Air BnB. There is ample parking for several cars.
