Fivehead, Taunton, Somerset, TA3

A charming, countryside cottage set in a generous plot overlooking neighbouring fields, tastefully modernised to incorporate modern finishes whilst still retaining plenty of character. No Onward Chain


Dating back to the mid 18th Century, Lower Stillbrook Cottage sits prominently on the outskirts of the popular rural Somerset village of Fivehead and enjoys wonderful views over surrounding fields.
Turning in off the Isle Abbots Road, a decorative stone wall leads you to wrought iron gates at the base of the driveway. A pitched porch with wooden stable door leads to the wonderfully open but cleverly divided reception rooms. The living room on the right, shielded by an exposed timber screen with Inglenook fireplace that houses a log burner & exposed stone walls provide further character and texture to the room. The Dining room, also with Inglenook fireplace and log burner provides access to the first floor and has cupboards with sliding doors to store away outdoor clothing. Both rooms have front facing windows offering a gorgeous outlook with window seats underneath. From the living the downstairs WC can be accessed.
At the rear of the house is the 28ft long kitchen with log burner & a wealth of both base and wall level units, range cooker, dishwasher and washing machine to remain in situ. A ceramic sink underneath the large rear facing window provides a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. A wooden stable door leads to recently rebuilt, fully
double glazed sun room with 180® view across the garden and patio doors that lead to the outside. A rear porch with larder cupboard provides access between the kitchen, the outside and the attached garage. The garage has power, lighting and an electric door.
To the first floor via the stairs behind an etched glass balustrade with decorative handrail leads to the carpeted landing space that provides access to all three bedrooms. The Master bedroom situated towards the rear is a glorious size with double aspect views and built in wardrobes, also has a recently installed ensuite shower room complete with walk in shower, WC and hand wash basin. Bedrooms two and three are both good sized double rooms, front facing with character detailing and pleasant outlooks over the fields in front. A nicely finished bathroom with bath and electric shower over completes accommodation for the upstairs.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is a neat front lawn with stone footpath leading from the road to the front porch. The driveway continues from the road to the side of the cottage—wooden 5 bar gates separate the front from the rear and leads to the parking and turning area. The rear garden stretches back 180ft from the rear of the cottage and incorporates the patio area, a seating area with pergola, a garden store and greenhouse - all bordered by mature hedging on 3 sides. A generous sized outbuilding comprised of a double garage and workshop area plus an additional store room. This has the potential to be converted into ancillary accommodation if required subject to planning permission or a perfect space for car enthusiast/collector. Further potential for an additional dwelling may also be viable again, subject to planning.
