5 bed detached house for sale

Woodhill, Stoke St. Gregory, Taunton, Somerset TA3

A period detached property accompanied by an extensive range of traditional outbuildings, offering excellent alternative use potential (STP), together with large and private rear gardens

This attractive detached property is believed to date back to the 18th century and was formerly a village pub. Constructed of rendered stone elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof, the accommodation benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout.
The property is entered via a welcoming dining hall featuring exposed stone walling and a charming log burning stove set within a brick surround. To one side lies a cosy study/snug, while to the rear is a useful hallway with walk in pantry. The generous living room extends to approximately 21 feet in length and enjoys a dual aspect, with French doors opening onto a private paved courtyard. The kitchen lies to the rear, fitted with a range of base and wall units incorporating several integral appliances. A ground floor WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes. A well appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The property is located on the edge of this much favoured village, which lies on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Local amenities include a village shop, pub, primary school, Church and village hall. North Curry lies about 3 miles away where more extensive range of facilities can be found. The county town of Taunton lies 10 miles distant offering an extensive range of shopping, education, sporting and cultural facilities along with access to the M5 motorway at Junction 25(Blackbrook) and a mainline intercity rail connection.

The property is approached from the public highway via timber gates, opening into a beautifully hard landscaped courtyard with attractive floral borders, an ideal space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. Adjacent to the courtyard is a former wagon house, currently arranged as a carport and workshop. This building offers excellent alternative use potential to create an annexe, gymnasium, home office, or similar (STP). To the rear is a substantial 54 foot single storey storage building, formerly the village skittle alley, again offering scope for a variety of alternative uses.

The gardens are a true selling point of this property, lying predominantly to the side and rear and beautifully manicured throughout. The side garden is laid to lawn with well tended flowerbeds featuring mature perennials, shrubs, and ornamental planting. Steps lead up to the rear gardens, which are slightly elevated and enjoy delightful views over open countryside. Here, the garden is again laid to lawn and includes several productive vegetable beds, mature shrubs and bushes including a small poultry run.
