THE AGENT SAYS .....
Upcott Hall is a most attractive Grade II Listed Georgian Manor House enjoying gardens and grounds of approx. 3.43 acres, with superb views looking out towards the majestic Quantock Hills and beyond. Conveniently situated within the small hamlet of Upcott, yet within a short distance to the county town of Taunton.
This property has, for the first time in 30 years, become available for sale. The current owners have lovingly upgraded the property throughout over the years, following a detailed maintenance programme of the house and gardens. It has been enjoyed as a superb family home providing impressive entertaining rooms and set within glorious gardens.
Upcott Hall offers an exciting opportunity and further scope for purchasers to upgrade and refurbish the property to their own specification.
The accommodation is spread over three floors with large cellars below to include a most impressive entrance hall featuring an original solid oak, ornate staircase leading to the main bedrooms on the first floor.
Spacious reception rooms include a magnificent drawing room detailing stunning plaster mouldings and full height sash windows, looking out to the glorious gardens with views beyond; an ornate fireplace gives centre stage to this attractive room.
The dining room, is elegant and bright with further plaster moulding, and a beautiful central fireplace, with a double aspect sash window, which enjoys views out to the front.
Beyond is a morning room and a further reception room. Kitchens and domestic offices lead off at the rear of the house with extensive accommodation.
Access to the main cellars is found off the back hallway.
A secondary staircase leads up to all floors, offering additional access.
Extensive attic rooms can be found on the second floor and offer huge potential to create further independent accommodation.
On the first floor, there are currently seven bedrooms leading off from the main landing, with additional bathrooms and dressing rooms.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The current owners have embarked on a comprehensive re-landscaping of the gardens and grounds that surround the manor house. This is approached from a quiet country lane through a gated entrance, following the main drive and leading up to the front of the house, with a secondary drive leading around to the rear area.
There is ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The gardens include ornamental lawned areas that include magnificent mature trees giving a real sense of presence. Attractive ornamental ponds and water features continue around to the main garden area to the rear of the house. This in turn, is divided by pleached limes, lining a circular pathway with further herbaceous borders, filled with an array of interesting, colourful plants, providing interest throughout the year.
A small orchard area can be found to the far side. Leading around to the side of the house is a stunning walled garden, including beautiful rose borders and a feature pergola that runs along the far side.
A central water feature completes the design.
SITUATION
Upcott Hall enjoys a peaceful and secluded position situated in the attractive hamlet of Upcott, which can be found between Bishops Hull and Bradford on Tone. Both of which offer a range of local shops and amenities.
Taunton, the county town, provides a comprehensive range of recreational amenities and shopping facilities.
There is an excellent range of local schools to include King's and Queen's Colleges, Taunton School, Millfield, King's Hall Prep and Richard Huish Sixth Form.
For those interested in sport, there is a renowned golf course at Enmore and in Taunton, the County Cricket Club.
