Property for sale near Taunton: Five bed home in North Curry

The five-double-bedroom house is situated on the western outskirts of the sought-after rural village of North Curry, just six miles away from Taunton, and has breath taking views of the Somerset levels to the north and open countryside to the west.

The substantial property, named The Croft, has been extended over the course of time and is now fitted with solar panels on the roof and a wood chip boiler making it economical to run.

Inside, the property is presented in good decorative order and despite its size is a warm and welcoming family home. This is evident in the entrance hall where there is a log-burning stove. The living room is generous in size and has exposed timber flooring, a wood burner and doors out to a conservatory which overlooks a walled garden.

The traditional kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home and it is fitted with a range of farmhouse-style units, granite work surfaces, an island unit and a number of integrated appliances, including a four-oven Aga. The ground floor is completed with a triple-aspect snug room, a good-sized study and a boot room with a shower.

On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. The principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and a balcony from where it is possible to take full advantage of the lovely views.

Outside, grounds extending to just under three and a half acres surround the house.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and bushes. There is a beautiful walled garden complete with a gravelled alfresco dining area, ornamental pond and pergola. The land adjoining the gardens comprises a level paddock contained within natural hedgerow boundaries.

At the rear, there is a tarmac parking and turning area, leading to a double garage and a garden store.
