Room allows for a corridor to be created which won’t compromise the size of the main bedroom.
The property is situated in the attractive hamlet of Adsborough about 4 miles north east of the County town of Taunton which is readily accessible via the nearby A38. Local facilities include a popular pub and Thurloxton, whilst the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are within a mile or so of the cottage where numerous attractive rides and walks may be enjoyed. Taunton is just under 10 minutes away by car where a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities will be found together with M5 interchange (Junction 25) and mainline rail link to London Paddington.
Property is approached over a gravelled entrance drive which leads to a hard standing and turning area immediately to the rear of the house, beside which is a detached character barn providing a double garage and store/playroom over. (8.38m x 5.2m overall). The barn is ideally suited to those who work from home, a gym, games room or potential to create a holiday let, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Adjoining the gardens is a pony paddock of just over an acre, ideal for those with equestrian, agricultural or livestock interests.
Closer to the house is a small orchard containing a number of apple and plum trees, whilst an attractive garden directly adjoins to the south, well enclosed with established hedgerow boundaries, and including bay, walnut, fir, laburnum and liquid amber trees. The gardens have been well tended, providing a central area of lawn with well stocked shrubs and flower borders.
