Croft House

A beautifully presented 1930’s house together with larger than average gardens and small woodland in all about 1.34 acres.

The property appears to date back to the 1930’s and is of red brick elevations, rendered on the first floor, under a hipped and pitched tiled roof. The property enjoys double glazing and gas fired central heating throughout and is presented in excellent order throughout. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, a triple aspect living room with open fireplace, a separate dining room again enjoying a dual aspect, a study and a newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room with fitted base units with rolled top work surfaces and matching wall cupboards. To the side is a utility, W.C. and door to outside. On the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, together with a well equipped family bathroom and separate W.C. The property enjoys a great deal of privacy and seclusion but the real selling point being the fantastic outside space which can only be fully appreciated when viewed.

Bishops Lydeard provides an excellent range of day to day amenities which include a primary school, public house, parish church, village hall, doctor’s surgery, convenience store, post office, butchers, news agents, garage and is well placed for easy access to the Quantock Hills which are nearby and are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The County Town of Taunton is about 6 miles away and is easily accessible, providing its extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities, along with access to the M5 motorway and a mainline intercity rail link.

The property is approached over a private gravelled driveway which leads to a gated car parking and turning area to the front of the property. To the side is a predominantly lawned garden contained within mature hedgerow boundaries and adjoining the rear is a raised decking area, ideal for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. Also at the rear is a further area of lawn and substantial garden shed. The main gardens lie to the east and are a real selling point, comprising mainly lawn with well established boarders. There is also a number garden sheds and a small overgrown wildlife pond. Further afield is a fantastic mature woodland containing a number of native trees creating a haven for wildlife flora and fauna. Due to the size of the gardens there is potential to create a paddock which could accommodate a pony or small horse if required. In total property extends to 1.34 acres.
