Description

This impressive detached period home offers a rare opportunity for both renovation and investment, featuring five bedrooms and a two-bedroom annex set within an expansive 3.89-acre plot. Built in the 1950s, the property retains much of its original charm, characterized by rendered brick elevations and a pitched tiled roof. While well-maintained over the years, the interior presents an ideal canvas for updating to suit modern living needs. Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting hallway adorned with original parquet flooring that seamlessly connects to three distinct reception rooms. The sitting room is highlighted by a bay window and an open fireplace, providing a cozy focal point for gatherings. The dining room benefits from dual aspect windows and French doors that lead out to the garden, while the spacious main living room also boasts a dual aspect design and an attractive Minster fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast area features modern base units complemented by tiled splashbacks and offers convenient access to a W/C and pantry. Upstairs comprises five well-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom, separate W/C, and a shower room—all spaces ripe for reimagining to enhance comfort and functionality. Adjacent to the main residence is a detached single-storey annex currently generating rental income but available for personal use upon completion of sale. Situated on the southern edge of West Buckland village, this property not only benefits from tranquility but also proximity to essential amenities in nearby Wellington (approximately 3 miles away) and Taunton (around 4 miles), which features national retailers, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and convenient transport links including a mainline rail connection to London Paddington. Additionally, easy access to the M5 at Junction 26 ensures connectivity for commuters. The property is approached via a long private driveway shared with just one other resident, leading to parking space for multiple vehicles. Expansive lawned gardens surround the home, interspersed with mature trees that frame scenic views towards the Blackdown Hills—a designated area of outstanding natural beauty known for its extensive walking paths. Beyond the gardens lies an enclosed paddock featuring two general-purpose barns (13.7m x 6.9m and 10.8m x 6.52m), complete with lean-to structures (3.8m x 10.8m) as well as a timber stable—making it perfect for agricultural or equestrian interests. Water is already connected on-site, enhancing its utility for livestock or other purposes. Overall, this property represents significant potential for transformation
