THE PROPERTY
A substantial detached country house with adjoining ancillary accommodation, set within the foothills on the outskirts of a most desirable village, enjoys 1.44 acres of mature gardens and nursery beyond.
Park Lane Nurseries as its name suggests has been run as a successful plant nursery by several generations of the current owners. Although it is no longer in commercial use it still offers potential purchasers an exciting opportunity in which to operate a successful horticultural / agricultural enterprise. As such the property has an AOC (agricultural occupancy condition) in place which means the new occupiers will need to comply with this condition.
The main house is a substantial detached country house that has been well maintained throughout. The accommodation is extremely flexible and versatile and is ideal for a two-generation family. In addition to the main four bedroom house there is a superb annexe that has been added to the side offering an addition three bedrooms of independent accommodation.
Situated along a quiet rural lane on the western side of the most desirable village of Kingston St Mary the property enjoys stunning views across the foothills of the Quantock Hills and out across the Taunton Vale.

The main kitchen includes a full range of wall and base units, a large Belfast sink and integrated appliances such as a dishwasher and electric oven. A Stanley solid fuel range oven is centrally housed set within an inglenook fireplace. This provides cooking and hot water for the house. Glazed double doors open into a dining / family room with windows looking out to the rear garden. To the other side of the kitchen access opens into an attractive garden room with glazed French doors and windows looking out to a private walled garden area with a raised central water feature. An inner hall continues with a cloakroom off to one side and the main staircase leading up to the first floor.
The main sitting room is spacious and bright with views to the front and side of the property. A brick surround central fireplace houses a large wood burning stove. Exposed ceiling timbers adds character to the room. Beyond is a secondary kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units with a breakfast bar running along one side. This is complimented by granite work surfaces and a large electric range oven, an induction hob with matching extractor hood over. A useful utility area is at the end with access to the rear garden.
On the first floor a spacious landing area gives access to three good sized double bedrooms. The fourth single bedroom is used as a home office. The principal bedroom is spacious and light with built in storage and pretty window seating. A Jack and Gill arrangement gives access into the main family bathroom. Further access leads in from the landing.

A small sitting room enjoys views across the main garden - this could also be a third bedroom if required. The annexe is heated by underfloor electric heating.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Park Lane Nurseries is approached off a quiet country lane to the west side of the popular village of Kingston St Mary. The property benefits from two entrances. One of which runs along the far left side of the property leading up the nurseries beyond with ample parking for cars and larger vehicles. The main gated entrance to the house is found a little further down following a gravel drive leading up to the house and garaging with space and turning for several cars.

Opposite is a most attractive summerhouse, perfect to sit out and enjoy the garden and could be used as a studio / hobbies room.
The main garden area extends out to the back with a central lawned area, edged by established herbaceous borders, in addition to a wide variety of ornamental trees and shrubs that are interspersed throughout the area.
