Description

This four-bedroom detached family home in Galmington, Taunton presents a unique opportunity for renovation and personalisation. Conveniently located near Musgrove Park Hospital, the Castle School catchment area, and the University Centre Somerset, this property is offered with vacant possession and no chain. Previously let, it is now primed for an update, allowing you to tailor it to your preferences. On entering the property through the welcoming hallway, you will find practical features such as a cloakroom WC and ample storage underneath the stairs. The living room benefits from large windows that flood the space with natural light and includes a gas coal effect fire, perfect for cosy evenings. The kitchen is functional yet dated; it comes equipped with essential appliances but would benefit significantly from modernisation. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining area with French doors leading out to a spacious rear garden—this outdoor space not only offers plenty of room for relaxation but also potential for extension (subject to planning permission). The upper floor hosts four bedrooms of varying sizes, including a master suite with an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is practical but could be upgraded to improve comfort and aesthetics. Outside, there’s off-road parking for two vehicles and a generous rear garden of approximately 80ft with established shrubs and trees. There’s even a dedicated area that could serve as a vegetable patch or greenhouse. This home’s combination of solid structure and considerable outdoor space makes it an ideal candidate for investment and improvement in today’s competitive market.
