This substantial detached farmhouse occupies a plot of five acres and lies in a wonderful location next to the Taunton and Bridgwater canal, on the outskirts of the hamlet of Outwood, while Taunton is within easy reach being seven miles away.
The towpath next to the canal is a haven for wildlife and an ideal traffic-free environment for walking and cycling between Taunton and Bridgwater.
The period property, named Outwood Farm, is believed to have been built in the 16th century and comes with an adjoining three-bedroom cottage, which could be integrated into the main house to create one large dwelling if so required.
Inside, the property is packed with character and charm which is immediately apparent in the cross-passage hallway where there is a highly attractive plank and muntin screen. The sitting room is a warm and cosy space with a triple aspect and a feature fireplace with stone quoins and an overhead heavy beam. The kitchen has a traditional look with block brick original flooring, a good range of units, a handy walk-in pantry and double doors that open to the garden.
On the first floor, the main house has four bedrooms, a separate cloakroom and a family bathroom. The adjoining cottage can be accessed via this floor, which leads to a fifth bedroom which could be re-integrated back into the main dwelling, but it is currently part of the cottage.
Inside the adjoining cottage, there is a kitchen/diner, sitting room, three bedrooms (or bedrooms five, six and seven in brought into the main house) and a family bathroom.
In addition, there is a separate annexe, named the Old Hen House which has a kitchen/dining room, sitting area, one bedroom and an ensuite shower room.
Outside, the expansive front garden is predominately laid to lawn and has an abundance of flowers and shrubs and well-placed patio areas. The rear garden is also sizable and has a large lawn that adjoins a field measuring 3.75 acres.
The property also benefits from an open-fronted garage and a timber-framed workshop.
Access to the property is via a private road.
