Description

A superb Grade II Listed family home with guest annexe and separate cottage set in a beautiful secluded garden of 0.68 Acre in this much favoured Blackdown Hills village.

Built in 1857 in the Gothic style this lovely family home is attractively presented with steep gabled rooves, local flintstone elevations and barstone detailing to quoins and windows. In keeping with the period, the house features generously proportioned rooms and excellent ceiling heights all of which has been much improved in recent years to create a comfortable home, suited to multi-generational living or offering the potential to produce an income stream. The accommodation, as set out on the accompanying floor plan, provides three reception rooms and small garden room, a superb kitchen/breakfast room with oil fired Aga, utility and cloakroom. the master suite benefits from a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary shower room whilst three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. In addition there is a detached guest annexe, with independent access, providing a fifth bedroom and en-suite shower.

The property is approached from the village road through double gates leading to a wide gravelled parking area and garage block, recently built and oak framed beneath a slate roof. This incorporates a twin bay open fronted garage together with secure garage/workshop and useful store with overhead storage. The main garden is largely walled offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion and forms a perfect setting for this unique property. Immediately adjoining the house is a lovely West facing terrace and beyond this extensive lawned areas planted with a wealth of flowering shrubs including camellia, azalea, rhododendrons and acers. The Coach House has its own secluded garden, laid to lawn and enclosed by an established beech hedge and stone walls. In all an estimated 0.68 Acre.

The Coach House sits to the rear of the main house, to which it is just attached in one corner and is perfect for a dependent relative or as an income producing cottage. Again, this is well presented throughout and provides two reception rooms, utility and smart ground floor shower room, kitchen and two bedrooms with a second shower room.

The property is situated on the outskirts of the village of Bishopswood and occupies a private position just off the main village road. The settlement itself is within the folds of the Blackdown Range of Hills which are designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and which lie to the south of the vale of Taunton and just north of the towns of Honiton and Chard. The area is very much one of an unchanging agricultural landscape interspersed with many small woods and copses and there are numerous local footpaths available. Taunton is the nearest major centre (10 Miles) where a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities will be found. There are four good independent schools all within easy reach. Taunton affords an M5 interchange (J25) as well as a main line rail link to London (Paddington) and the A303, which provides good access to Southern England, may be joined only one and half miles to the south. Both Bristol and Exeter airports are within 40 minutes drive and the south cost is within 30 minutes. There is an excellent pub/restaurant in the village itself.

The property is approached from the village road through double gates leading to a wide gravelled parking area and garage block, recently built and oak framed beneath a slate roof. This incorporates a twin bay open fronted garage together with secure garage/workshop and useful store with overhead storage. The main garden is largely walled offering a high degree of privacy ad seclusion and forms a perfect setting for this unique property.

The Coach House has its own secluded garden, laid to lawn and protected by high stone walls. In all an estimated 0.68 Acre.
