4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An impressive attached Grade II Listed Georgian residence offering spacious four bedroom living accommodation, ample parking, garaging and private walled gardens


Staplegrove Lodge was formerly one substantial period property which was divided in 2016 by the current owners who have retained the rear section (north) and have since undertaken a programme of modernisation. The house appears to date back to the Georgian era and boasts all the classic features you would expect from a property of this nature, namely tall ceiling heights, sash windows and generous room proportions. In brief the accommodation comprises an entrance hall which flows through to a dining hall with bay window flooding the room with natural light. French doors lead through to a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of modern handleless base units with Quartz shark nose work surfaces and a number of integral appliances. A sitting room adjoins a dining hall with log burning stove and French doors to outside. A store room/log shed adjoins and a door out leads to a courtyard. On the other side of the house is a snug with W.C., large shower room and a utility room. A rear hall gives access to the first floor via an original staircase and on the first floor is the master bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom also enjoying an en-suite. A second flight of stairs lead up to two further bedrooms, both of a generous size and a newly fitted bathroom suite.

The property is situated on the north western outskirts of Taunton on the edge of the highly favourable village of Staplegrove and local village amenities include primary schooling, convenience stores and an attractive parish church. The house is well set back from the nearby road on a no through lane with little passing traffic. The Quantock Hills are within easy reach, designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and where many fine walks can be enjoyed.
Taunton enjoys a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities, including three noted independent schools, together with a major hospital and Somerset College of Arts and Technology. The town benefits from excellent communication links with a fast direct line rail service to London, Paddington and M5 interchange both at Taunton and Wellington. Exeter and Bristol are both within an hours drive hosting international airports.

The property is approached over a shared driveway at first and then via a pair of brick pillars which lead to a large paved courtyard providing parking for several cars and gives access to a double garage. To the rear are the gardens which comprise a paved sun terrace adjoining the kitchen and a set of steps down lead to a gravel area which in turn gives access to a walled garden which is predominantly lawned with herbaceous borders containing a vegetable patch and two garden sheds.
