This detached cottage, known as Stable Cottage, is nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Thornfalcon, just a short drive from Taunton and the A358. The property presents an exciting opportunity for renovation or redevelopment, appealing to those looking to invest in a unique project.
Stable Cottage consists of former groom's quarters and additional accommodation, characterized by part timber and part brick construction beneath a fibre cement roof. Historically, the property has been divided into two separate living spaces, each featuring distinctive layouts. The first unit includes an entrance hall leading to a kitchen with a cozy sitting room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The second unit offers a kitchen/utility space with bathroom facilities and an upper-level bedroom/sitting room.
Surrounding the cottage are several outbuildings, including timber and galvanised storage structures that were previously used as kennels. Additionally, there are three stable buildings arranged around a courtyard east of the property. These stables provide ample equestrian facilities with several boxes available for horses. Although some of these structures require renovation, they hold significant potential for various uses.
The total land area extends to approximately 0.83 acres, encompassing parts of adjoining paddocks that offer further possibilities for development or enhancement of outdoor space. Given its proximity to Taunton and access to major transport routes like Junction 25 of the M5 and the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, this location combines rural charm with convenient connectivity.
While currently equipped with mains electricity and septic tank drainage, prospective buyers should consider upgrading utilities and establishing new water supplies as necessary. The current EPC rating stands at E.
