The remaining two are serviced by the family bathroom. The smaller of the bedrooms could be utilised as a study for those needing to work from home, play room, or a further reception room.

Combe St Nicholas is a thriving well regarded village on the Southern edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with excellent local amenities including a Post Office/general store, primary school and pub. It’s a short distance to Chard which caters for most daily needs and the County Town of Taunton is just 12 miles away with access to the M5 motorway and intercity rail service. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 16 miles to the South at Lyme Regis.

The property is approached by two private gated entrances leading to off-road parking and the substantial, detached double garage. Given its position and size the garage would also make an excellent workshop, gym or studio. There is also the potential, subject to planning permission, to convert it into ancillary accommodation either as an annexe or holiday let. The Hawthorns is nestled within its own gardens which are laid to sweeping lawns, patio and further complemented by mature shrubs, trees and colourful flora. It’s a fabulous and private setting for alfresco dining, child’s play and enjoying through the warmer months. Towards the back of the garden on the right, is access through to the paddock – ideal for those looking for a taste of the ’good life’ with the option of keeping sheep, bees or perhaps even goats. The grounds extend to almost two acres with superb views over the rolling Somerset countryside. Must be seen to fully appreciate.
