Slough Green, Taunton

Two adjoining cottages are offered together in a rural hamlet near Staple Fitzpaine, on a plot of just over a third of an acre. They are held on separate titles and could remain as two homes or potentially be combined, subject to the necessary consents and alterations. The larger eastern cottage is described as requiring more extensive refurbishment, while the smaller cottage could provide accommodation during works. The smaller cottage has a rear sun room and an L-shaped living and dining room with a stone open fireplace. Its kitchen and breakfast room has fitted units and space for appliances. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The adjoining double-fronted cottage has a central hall, a dining room with flagstone flooring, a smaller rear kitchen, a sitting room with an open fireplace, and a rear lobby with a WC and shower room. Three bedrooms are arranged upstairs, with access to the largest currently through one of the smaller rooms. The listing identifies scope to reconsider the layout and kitchen arrangement, subject to feasibility. The gardens wrap around the cottages and include lawns, seating areas, mature planting, animal pens, a summerhouse with bar and a greenhouse. There is a double garage with parking, as well as a second driveway and yard with a former single garage used for storage, a store or workshop and a tool shed. The hamlet is surrounded by countryside in the Blackdown Hills area, with Staple Fitzpaine and Taunton within reach.
