The County town of Taunton is 15 miles to the north providing access to the M5 and a wider selection of shops and restaurants.
Description & Accommodation - This beautifully finished thatched home has been designed in keeping with the character and charm of the surrounding properties and village to create a well proportioned family home. Jacaranda is a particularly attractive detached cottage having been constructed in 2005 with mellow lime-washed elevations nestled under a thatched roof. The current owners have undertaken an extensive schedule of improvements to the property, enhancing the traditional character and charm of a Devon thatched home with the convenience of modern day living.
The accommodation is thoughtfully presented with great care and attention given to the fittings and overall finish. The property consists of a particularly beautiful kitchen / dining room fitted to an exceptional standard with integrated appliances, island unit with induction hob, extractor unit and underfloor heating. This quadruple aspect room also has French doors to the rear terrace creating a bright and spacious environment for dining and entertaining. Convenient utility room with ample space for utility appliances and access to the rear garden. The light and airy sitting room is fitted with LPG gas fire and French doors to the rear patio. A study room which could also be used as a fifth bedroom and a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor there is a large dual aspect master bedroom with en-suite off and a further three double bedrooms and family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently set up as a fitted dressing room.
Outside - Approached off the road to a brick driveway which sweeps around the property to a turning area providing parking for several vehicles. This also gives access to the detached double garage which has brick and timber clad elevations under a tiled roof.
The gardens have undergone a exceptional degree of landscaping. To the front Jacaranda is mainly laid to lawn, with a levelled patio area providing a wonderful space to enjoy outdoor relaxation and al-fresco dining. Directly from the sitting room is another delightful patio area. The rear garden is a more natural semi-wooded area which contains a variety of specimen plants, shrubs and trees with cleverly positioned elevated viewing areas.
Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Newly installed air-source heat pump with RHI payments of £1,100/annum with approx. 5 years of payments remaining. LPG Bulk tank for sitting room fire only.
