This imposing period property is believed to date back to the mid/late 18th Century and is of weathered, flemish bond, brick elevations with Bath stone detailing and coping stones, set within an acre. The property is symmetrical in appearance and has an attractive façade, typical of the era. Formerly used as the NatWest Bank training centre, the current owners have restored the property to its former glory and is now a superb private residence spanning over some 6500sq. ft. over four floors. The property offers generous room proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows flooding the internal space with natural light. A central hallway leads to an elegant turning staircase. From here there is a fabulous dual aspect kitchen/dining room, spanning some 35ft and is fitted with a range off modern base and wall units with a central island unit containing a breakfast bar. A formal dining room is also present, along with the Winchester room which is currently utilised as a games room with fabulous marble fireplace. A rear hall gives access to a W.C., utility and gym. A door separates an annexe, complete with kitchen, dining room and living room. A set of stairs lead to the first floor where there is a large double bedroom and modern family bathroom. Lockable doors separate the annexe from the main house, allowing it to be rented out without imposing on privacy. The main staircase leads to a fantastic landing where there are three larger than average bedrooms, a nursey/dressing room and three piece family bathroom. Two further staircases leads to the second floor where there are three double bedrooms, each enjoying far reaching views. Concluding the accommodation is a cellar currently used as a study/hobbies room.
The property is situated in the small village of Bishops Hull which lies on the western outskirts of the County Town of Taunton. It still retains much of its original village feel with some local shops, parish church and primary school. This property occupies a slightly tucked away situation with little or no passing traffic and is accordingly occupying an attractive and peaceful position. It is readily accessible nevertheless from the centre of Taunton and the A38 Taunton to Wellington Road which passes relatively close by. Access to the Taunton rail station is less than a 10 minute drive away with ample parking at the new multi-storey carpark with a direct and fast train to Lonon, Paddington taking only 1 hour, 40 minutes and the M5 junction to both Taunton and Wellington are readily accessible. The quality of scholastic facilities in the town is well known with four good quality independent schools available.
The property is approached via an attractive pillared entrance with electric gates which leads to a sweeping driveway, flanked by lawned gardens and brick detailing. An attractive brick wall leads to additional parking for approx. 8—10 cars, leading to a large pebbled area enclosed by tall hedges, beyond which is the main garden at the rear. The gardens here are of a generous size and are partly walled, predominantly laid to lawn and include a superb Mulberry tree, a variety of herbaceous borders and a number of mature trees providing privacy. A large timber cabin was recently installed and a separate shed stores gardening equpment.
