A beautifully presented Victorian town house on a grand scale with detached Coach House enjoying glorious views

Believed to date back to 1860, this imposing, handsome, attached house with its tall chimneys and front gables was built with Byzantine brickwork which typifies the mid-Victorian era. In recent years the property has been the subject of an extensive restoration programme with great attention to detail including specialist refurbishment of the sash windows. It now provides a most comfortable, beautifully decorated family home with a wealth of original period features, which combine well with contemporary fixtures and fittings. The house provides excellent reception space including a large, light and airy, elegant drawing room with high ceiling, original intricate ornate moulded cornicing, ceiling rose, working shutters and a handsome fireplace. On the other side of the hall the dining room also has a handsome fireplace, original ceiling cornicing and a bay window with working shutters. Glazed feature doors lead into the sitting room, which in turn has French doors leading into a more contemporary style garden room with double doors leading on to the terrace and garden. The kitchen is found on the lower garden floor, it has been beautifully fitted and provides an excellent range of cupboards, central island, granite work surfaces, traditional walk-in pantry and has a door to the side of the house. The six bedrooms are all very spacious, the principal bedroom being beautifully proportioned with a walk-in wardrobe and large ensuite bathroom. There is a large study on the mezzanine floor, ideal for those working from home. The property benefits from Superfast Fibre Broadband.

In addition to the main house there is a detached, beautifully presented Coach House which is currently presented as a one bedroom annexe with a private courtyard garden. It is a very flexible space, providing an excellent opportunity for rental income, to be run as an Airbnb or provide additional family accommodation. There are two further first floor bedrooms, which have been left ready for future development.

The property currently has planning permission for a large single storey extension at the rear to create a light, airy contemporary kitchen/diner or additional living space. More information can be found on the somersetwestandtaunton.gov.uk website, application number: 38/21/0126
