This distinctive period residence sits within a plot of around 12.6 acres in a tranquil countryside setting in the hamlet of Thorne St Margaret, just two miles from Langford Budville and four miles from Wellington. The five-bedroom dwelling, named The Old Vicarage, is surrounded by attractive gardens with an outdoor pool, and is superbly positioned to benefit from far reaching views across the Taunton Vale to the Blackdown Hills and Wellington Monument.

The property is beautifully presented throughout and has been lovingly maintained over the years, with a sympathetic blend of old features with new fixtures. Period features include high ceilings, cornicing, fireplaces and sash windows.

Inside, a grand entrance hall makes a strong first impression and leads to all the rooms. The drawing room has an open fire with a wooden surround and a large sash window, while the sitting room has a fireplace, a lovely sash window front and a door to the garden. There is also a bright playroom and an equally light and airy dining room. The stylish kitchen has been updated in recent years and has a traditional look with pale units, granite work surfaces, Karndean flooring and bi-fold doors that open to the garden and provide a striking view of the pool and countryside beyond.

On the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to five good-sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath. Each bedroom has a pleasant aspect, and some have built-in wardrobes.

Outside, the property occupies a sizeable plot of around 12.6 acres which is made up of mature gardens, paddocks and a well-established orchard. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with patio areas and a wealth of mature plants and shrubs. A well-kept outdoor swimming pool and pool house is located in a lovely sunny spot and is a wonderful place to take a dip. Extensive lighting is strategically positioned throughout the garden and pool area, creating an inviting space come nightfall. Beyond the gardens, there are some pasture paddocks, with the top paddock benefitting from a bench with far reaching views – perfect at sunset.

The property is approached via a gravel drive with feature lights and an electric five-bar wooden gate giving access to the ample parking area and carport.
