A stunning family home, offering spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation, attractively situated in grounds of about 2 acres, on the edge of this sought after Quantock hills village.

The property

This stunning house dates from the 1800's and has been substantially and sympathetically extended and re-modelled in recent years and now provides a spacious and well-appointed family home. It is offered in excellent order throughout with modern fixtures and fittings and is double glazed and has gas-fired central heating. The gardens are very much a feature of the property and have been attractively landscaped by the current owner and provide a wonderful setting for the house. A large driveway provides ample parking and there is a detached double garage.

The accommodation

The kitchen/family room is very much the heart of the house and provides a wonderful entertaining and living space and large bi-fold doors open on the terrace with stunning views over the garden. The kitchen flows through to the dining area and family room with wood burning stove. This in turn leads through to a snug with attractive outlook over the front garden. A more formal sitting room enjoys a double aspect and also has a wood burning stove. Also on the ground floor can be found a study, utility room and cloakroom.


First floor

The principal bedroom with en suite shower room,  has a vaulted ceiling and a large window floods this room with a good level of natural light and affords wonderful views over the garden. A guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room.  There are 3 further double bedrooms and a well appointed family bath/shower room.

Outside

The gardens and grounds extend to about 1.9 acres and afford a wonderful setting for the house.  They have been equally well maintained and the current owner has carried out numerous improvements and work has included the creation of 2 large paved terraces which afford wonderful views over the garden.  A stream forms one boundary with an attractive stream side pathway leading through to a wooded area of the garden with fruit trees and circular lawn.  A large gravelled driveway provides ample parking and gives access to the detached double garage with adjacent wood store.

Situation

Kingston St Mary is a particularly sought after village that provides a very active community with many clubs and organisations and amenities to include a primary school, pub, parish Church, village hall, playing field and garage.  The village lies at the foot of the Quantock Hills which have been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and provide miles of footpaths and bridle ways ideal for those with walking and riding interests. Indeed, there are many footpaths leading directly from the village. The property offers the dual benefits of an attractive rural setting, yet is only about 4 miles from the centre of Taunton and about 3 miles from the main line railway station. The preparatory school of Kings Hall is less than a mile away and junction 25 of the M5 motorway is also readily accessible. Taunton, the county town, provides excellent shopping and leisure facilities, with a good range of schools, both in the state and independent sector, including Kings and Queens Colleges and Taunton School. Both Bristol and Exeter airports are also readily accessible, providing regular flights to Europe and the USA.
