Stoke St. Gregory, Taunton, Somerset TA3

A pretty period cottage, together with a traditional barn with alternative use potential (STP), ample parking and views of open countryside. No onward chain.

This attractive double fronted cottage is believed to date back to early 19th Century and is of weathered red brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof. Presented in excellent order throughout the property enjoys double glazing, oil fired central heating and solar pv panels generating an average annual income of £3,000.
The accommodation comprises an entrance porch with separate W.C. And an original studded front door leads to a cross passage hallway with exposed timber flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. To the side is a modern three piece family bathroom and opposite is a generous kitchen/breakfast room with farmhouse style kitchen containing a number of integral appliances. A large window floods the room with natural light and a door on the corner leads to a utility room. To the front of the house are two symmetrical reception rooms, the living room having a fabulous inglenook fireplace with bread oven and exposed timber beams. The dining room is of similar size, again with exposed beams and an open fireplace. On the first floor are three double bedrooms with the mater enjoying an en-suite. Planning consent was approved for a two bedroom ground and first floor cottage development. This planning has now lapsed.

The property is situated at the end of a no through road and is approached via a cattle grid which leads to a large gravelled parking and turning area for several vehicles. Here is a large stone and brick barn currently providing garaging and a workshop but has the potential for alternative uses subject to any necessary consents. An evergreen hedge divides the gardens where there are two garden sheds and a pedestrian gate leads to a gravelled path to the back door, flanked on either side by lawned gardens. Nestling within is a timber gazebo, along with a number of mature trees, shrubs and bushes. The gardens wrap around to the front which are again lawned and an evergreen hedge divides a hard landscaped alfresco dining area, perfect for summer entertaining. The real selling point of this property is its position surrounded by open countryside and enjoying a high level of privacy and seclusion.
