The village centre provides an excellent range of day to day amenities and includes a primary school, public houses, Parish Church, village hall, Doctors Surgery, convenience store, dentist, paper shop and garage. These are well placed for easy access to the Quantock Hills which are nearby and are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The county town of Taunton is 5.6 miles away and is easily accessible, providing its extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities, along with access to the M5 motorway and a mainline inner city rail link.
The property is approached via a walled, easy maintenance front garden with path to the front door. The enclosed garden is L shaped and a generous size for a family and gardening enthusiasts alike. There is a large patio with steps up to the large lawned area, a wooden lodge fitted with a wood burning stove, water, light and electricity. An extra shed for further storage and a fenced productive vegetable garden is another wonderful feature of this corner plot.
