A thoughtfully and beautifully extended family home, set in a quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to open countryside in the sought after village of Oake.


This beautifully presented house dates back to 1998 and since then has been extended and upgraded to create a fabulous family home. Constructed of red brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof, the accommodation enjoys double glazing, high levels of insulation and central heating throughout. In brief the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, separate W.C. and stairs to the first floor. To the side is a generous triple aspect living room flooded with light, a log burning stove and sliding doors to outside. Also off the hall is a second reception room currently used as a cinema and a beautifully decorated study connects a utility and gives access to an incredible open plan kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating and bi-folding doors to outside. This room is a real showpiece which can only be fully appreciated when viewed. The main staircase gives access to bedrooms 2 - 5, two with fitted wardrobes and bedroom 2 enjoys a dressing area and modern en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom. The master suite is located above the kitchen and has a separate staircase, this is an impressive room enjoying a dual aspect and is 18ft x 14ft in size. A spiral staircase leads up to a luxurious en-suite with rolled top bath enjoying far reaching views of open countryside, his and her sinks, W.C. and a vast walk-in shower. To fully appreciate the style, finish and size of the superb village property, a viewing is highly recommended.

Oake is a popular village some 5 miles from the county town of Taunton benefitting from a popular primary school as well as a community shop /Post Office. There are a number of popular pubs nearby together with Oake Manor 18 hole golf course which is within a mile. Both Taunton and Wellington are readily accessible to the M5 at junction 26, Wellington some 3 miles away. The larger cities of Bristol and Exeter are both within an hour’s drive and host international airports.

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in the very popular village of Oake. The property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing parking for six cars which also gives access to a large, converted garage which is now a Gym/den. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped with varying different levels. There is a large decked area immediately outside the kitchen/dining room, great for evening drinks and a lawned garden adjoins with mature herbaceous boarders. Steps lead down to a circular sun terrace with a further area of lawn and a second set of steps leads to a sunken garden where there is a summer house with open alfresco dining and a purpose built indoor bar, ideal for entertaining all year round. The property has access at both sides to the front of the house and is secure.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
