A deceptively spacious link detached period farmhouse offering generous living accommodation, large mature gardens together with a walled garden and the option to buy an orchard by separate negotiation.
This striking 16th Century farmhouse was formerly part of Tainfield Park which has since been divided up to a small number of private dwellings. The house itself is surprisingly not listed and boasts a wealth of character features such as large inglenook fireplaces, exposed timber beams and an originally studded door to name but a few. The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, to the left is a dual aspect living room with French doors which lead through to a kitchen/dining room fitted with solid wood base units and matching wall cupboards over. An original front door gives access to an oak glazed porch which leads to the gardens. On the other side of the entrance hall is a second reception room currently used as a snug and study, together with a separate utility, home office and boot room behind the stairs. On the first floor are six double bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Tainfield Park is situated close to the village of Kingston St Mary which lies 3 miles north of the County Town of Taunton and at the foot slopes of the Quantock Hills, an area designated as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a popular primary school, pub and church whilst Taunton is easily within striking distance with a full range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities. The aforementioned Quantock Hills are close by where numerous footpaths can be enjoyed, together with superb views over the vale of Taunton to the south and the Bristol Channel and south Wales to the north. Taunton boasts a number of private and independent schools, a mainline rail link with direct trains into London Paddington and the cities of Bristol and Exeter are both within an hours drive, both hosting international airports.
The property is approached over a long private driveway which is shared with the residents of Tainfield Park. To the side of the house is parking for two cars along with a carport which provides two further parking spaces. A pedestrian path leads to the front of the property which gives access to the front door and one of the garden sheds. A short distance away is an attached double garage currently used for storage. The main gardens lie to the rear and enjoy a westerly aspect. A sun terrace adjoins the house, perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining and a useful store shed can be found in the corner. The remaining gardens are predominantly lawned with herbaceous borders, together with a parcel of mature woodland creating a haven for wildlife, flora and fauna and a constant supply of firewood. A foot bridge leads through to a fantastic walled garden which is of local Quantock stone and contains a number of fruit tees, fruit cage and vegetable patch. Double doors give access to an area of lawn which borders two sides of the walled garden together with another small parcel of woodland. In all the house and gardens extends to 1.53 acres as shown shaded red on the attached identification plan.
ADDITIONAL LAND
As you approach the property over the entrance drive to the right hand side is a beautifully maintained fruit orchard and paddock which is predominantly level and contains a number of cider apple trees, in all extending to 1.7 acres. This is available by separate negotiation and is shown edge blue on the attached identification plan
