6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Honiton Road, Trull, Somerset TA3

A distinguished Early Victorian Residence in one of Taunton’s premier locations with views over open countryside.

Believed to originate from the mid Victorian era, this elegant Grade II listed home showcases beautifully mellow brick elevations beneath traditional slated roofs. Historically serving as a boarding house for nearby Queens College, the property now stands as a superb and much loved family home.

The accommodation is arranged over four floors and offers an impressive blend of character, proportion, and modern comfort. The house benefits from gas fired central heating, quality fixtures and fittings, tasteful décor throughout, and fitted carpets to the majority of rooms.
You enter the property on the lower ground floor, where an entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom/WC and a guest bedroom with its own shower. Stairs rise to the upper ground floor, where a fabulous kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views over the gardens and is fitted with a range of modern base units and attractive oak flooring. Also on this level is a study/snug and Bedroom 3. There is a small utility/cupboard off the hallway housing the washing machine and has a door leading directly out to the gardens, creating a highly practical and versatile space.

On the first floor is the main living room - a stunning space featuring a bay window that floods the room with natural light and offers far-reaching views. The principal bedroom is of generous proportions and is complemented by an ensuite shower room. Also on this floor are Bedroom 2 and a well appointed three piece family bathroom. The top floor provides two further bedrooms, completing the extensive sleeping accommodation.

This distinguished home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful residence within one of Taunton’s most sought after residential districts. Early viewing is highly recommended.

As previously mentioned, Trull is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential addresses in the town, and substantial family homes such as this are rarely available. The property occupies a slightly elevated position with farreaching westerly views, and lies approximately one mile south of the town centre, which is easily accessible.

The nearby village of Trull offers an excellent range of amenities including the popular Trull primary school, a 5 minute walk down Wild Oak Lane, village stores, post office, recreation ground and a well supported parish church. The surrounding area provides numerous walking opportunities, particularly towards Sherford and Cotlake Hill, as well as across open farmland towards Comeytrowe.

A regular bus service operates into Taunton, which provides a comprehensive selection of shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

The main gardens lie to the rear of the property and can be accessed either via the hallway or through a pedestrian gate from the roadside. Largely laid to lawn, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy, being enclosed by handsome natural stone walling and featuring an intriguing bothy that adds further character and versatility. A sun terrace adjoins the house, providing an ideal space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining.

To the rear, a courtyard provides parking for two small vehicles together with a garage/workshop.
