Incorporated within the house is a fantastic one-bedroom ground floor flat and a two-bedroom maisonette on the first and second floors, both of which are accessed by its own entrance on the ground floor. Both are fashioned from rooms formerly used by live-in domestic staff and therefore do not impinge on the privacy of the main part of the house. Both face predominantly north and west looking out onto Elm Grove and are entirely self-contained. The flats offer huge potential to prospective buyers whether that is multi generational living or potential income.
The house is approached via a vehicle entrance off Linden Grove leading to a gravelled parking area on the east side of the house, where there is ample space for several vehicles. Beside the parking area is a double garage. The grounds extend to about half an acre and are bound by a mix of tall, close-boarded timber fencing and low stone walling topped with mature hedging. Privacy is further enhanced by a mix of several, native broadleaf trees including an impressive beech tree shielding the south-east corner of the house. Behind the house is a large, gravelled seating and dining area that is sheltered and not overlooked. This provides a very private entertaining space and alongside it are a wood-fired jacuzzi and a Swedish style sauna.
The Old Vicarage is situated back from the junction of Linden Grove and Elm Grove, two handsome, tree-lined residential streets within level walking distance of Taunton town centre. Sited on the River Tone with a population of about 65,000, Taunton is an old market town and is the county town of Somerset. The Old Vicarage is perfectly sited to take full advantage of all that the town has to offer. There is a convenience store just a third of a mile away and it is close to a wide selection of supermarkets, Somerset County Cricket Club, the river, French Weir Park and Victoria Park. The train station is only a 13-minute walk away offering direct services to Paddington (1 hour 40 minutes), Exeter St. David's (29 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (1 hour 3minutes). The town also offers a wide selection of schools from both the state and independent sectors. These include The Castle School and Richard Huish College (both Ofsted-rated 1 Outstanding) plus the well-regarded King's College Taunton and Queen's College, all within a two-mile radius.
