On the first floor the older and newer sections of the cottage blend seamlessly to create four spacious bedrooms each with their own character and pleasant outlooks. The master bedroom includes fitted storage and an en suite shower room, whilst a more recently removated family bathroom offers a stylish walk in shower area, freestanding bath and bespoke vanity wash hand basin set in a period wash stand.
Outside - The property sits within its own private, cottage-style gardens, featuring a blend of lawns, mature shrubs and trees, winding pathways, and areas of crazy paving bordered by old stone walls. One of these walls forms the boundary with the parish church, creating an especially charming outlook.
On the south side of the cottage, a delightful veranda offers welcome shade during the summer and sheltered outdoor space in the cooler months. With its tiled flooring, it provides a practical area for dining or entertaining outdoors.
For those who enjoy growing their own produce, the raised beds will be a real asset, and to the front of the cottage there is also a small wildlife pond adding to the garden’s natural appeal. Adjoining the road is a substantial driveway providing off road parking and access to the former garage which has since been converted into a useful detached studio annexe. Some of the former garage remains on the ground floor providing useful storage space for bikes and outdoor gear, whilst the rear and first floor space has been converted to create the annexe. Whether you require a space for an older teenager still living at home, work from home or have an eye for income potential, this is really a very useful and potentially multi-functional space. It consists of a ground floor kitchen and shower room, with first floor bed / sitting room all served by an independent LPG gas boiler.
Situation - Fivehead is a charming village and civil parish in the county of Somerset, situated about 8–9 miles east of Taunton in South West England. It lies along the gentle landscape of the Fivehead River on a ridge overlooking the Somerset Levels and the Vale of Isles, offering scenic views of classic English countryside. Fivehead retains a distinctly rural and community-focused character. Historically, the village was rooted in agriculture, and although many residents now commute to nearby towns for work or schooling, a strong sense of local community remains central to village life. The village hall has various activities including pilates and short mat bowls, whilst The Crown Inn pub, and church help preserve a traditional village atmosphere. The Stable Community Cafe is a real asset to the village and a great hub for meeting friends and family. The surrounding countryside is equally notable, with protected natural areas such as Fivehead Woods and Meadow and wildflower-rich arable fields, which are designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest and prized for varied wildlife and flora. It is conveniently located within a short drive of excellent road links, including the A378 towards Curry Rivel and Langport (both of which have good local facilities) and the A358 to Taunton and Ilminster (connecting with the A303 and M5).
