A striking detached house tastefully extended and remodelled to an exceptionally high standard, occupying a commanding position with south facing garden portraying breathtaking views of the Vale of Taunton and the Blackdown Hills in the distance. No onward chain.

This stunning house was originally constructed in the 1920s and has since been substantially extended and remodelled by the current owners to an exceptional standard, creating a truly bespoke family home.

The property is entered via an entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway, which provides access to all principal reception rooms and a useful pantry. To one side is a room currently utilised as a home office, though it would work equally well as a snug or additional reception room. Opposite is a spacious living room featuring a media wall and bi-folding doors that open into a separate dining room.
The dining room also benefits from bi-folding doors, opening onto an external sun terrace that takes full advantage of the property’s views, ideal for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.

The second bedroom features an ensuite shower room and a Juliet balcony, as does the impressive principal bedroom, which is flooded with natural light and enjoys far reaching views. The principal bedroom also benefits from a walk in dressing room. A further staircase leads to the second floor, which accommodates a generous guest bedroom with its own en suite.

To fully appreciate the quality, finish and views this outstanding family home has to offer, an internal viewing is highly recommended.

This property is situated in a wonderful and peaceful location on the lower slopes of the Quantock Hills with stunning views south over the Vale of Taunton and the Blackdown Hills. West Monkton is rightly regarded as one of the premier villages within the Taunton Vale district lying at the foot of the Quantock Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has no main road passing through it and boasts many highly valuable and attractive character properties, a popular pub/restaurant, and a Parish Church whilst the County Town of Taunton is only about 3 miles away where the thriving Brewhouse Theatre, Tennis Centre, recreational and scholastic facilities and a wide range of shopping will be found. There are numerous local walks available from Tanglewood, and many others within the Quantock Hills. The M5 may be joined at J25 or J24. Although the property is set within the heart of the village it enjoys a good degree of privacy.

The property is approached from the rear by electric gates leading onto a tarmacadam driveway, providing parking for several vehicles and also gives access to a triple garage with gym/home office and a hobbies room over, which could lend itself to alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The main gardens lie to the south and feature a superb sun terrace enclosed by dwarf walling, along with adjoining lawned gardens bordered by natural hedgerows. To the side of the property is a further sun terrace with BBQ area and outdoor kitchen, a summer house/home office, and an artificial putting green, perfect for both entertaining and leisure.
