Description
This unlisted former rectory, nestled in a peaceful setting with views of Glastonbury Tor, has been the beloved home of its current owners for 52 years. The house, built in the 1800s, boasts a charming and symmetrical façade, with a clay tile roof and painted local stone walls. The interior retains many original architectural features, including brick-paved floors, fireplaces, and white-painted beams. The property has a unique layout, with three reception rooms arranged in an arc to capture natural light throughout the day. The kitchen and dining room are interconnecting, with a large walk-in larder and an enormous character. The first floor features six good-sized double bedrooms, all with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The property also comes with equestrian facilities, including a stable block, tack room, and paddocks, making it an ideal home for horse enthusiasts. The house is situated in unspoilt countryside, with easy access to the Hare Path and the village of Staple Fitzpaine, which has a popular pub and a Grade I listed parish church. The centre of Taunton is just a 15-minute drive away, offering a wide range of shops, businesses, and transport links.
