4 bed detached house for sale

Taunton Road, Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Somerset TA4

Well-presented 1930s four bedroom home in a sought after village location, offering spacious accommodation and modern updates throughout.

A well presented 1930s home offering spacious and well balanced accommodation throughout, thoughtfully combining original character with practical modern updates. The entrance hall is generous and leads to a well-proportioned living room with front facing doors, allowing plenty of natural light. There is also a particularly large kitchen room with a dining room attached, along with a separate utility area and a downstairs W/C. The house has been extended to the rear in more recent years, increasing the overall living space and providing four-bedroom accommodation suited to family living. The property is built with rendered elevations under a tiled roof and benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas-fired central heating. The kitchen connects via double doors to the dining room, with potential to open this up further if a more open-plan layout is desired. On the first floor, there are four good-sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, as well as a main family bathroom.

The property is ideally situated in the popular village of Bishops Lydeard, regarded as one of the most desirable locations within the Vale of Taunton. The village provides a good range of everyday amenities, including a health centre, a well regarded primary school, two public houses, a mini supermarket and a variety of independent local shops, making it well suited for convenient day-to-day living. Positioned at the foot of the Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the location offers easy access to attractive countryside and a range of walking and outdoor activities.
The county town of Taunton is approximately five miles away and can be reached via regular bus services. Taunton offers a wide selection of shopping, leisure, and educational facilities, along with excellent transport links, including the M5 motorway and a mainline railway station with direct services to London Paddington.

The property is approached via a private driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles and access to a single garage. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature bushes and shrubs, creating an attractive and welcoming first impression.

To the rear, the garden has been designed with both enjoyment and ease of maintenance in mind. An area of stone chippings extends directly from the dining room, providing a practical space for outdoor seating and entertaining, while in the rest of the garden there is a paved patio with a small, more secluded seating area beyond. Once front gates are closed, front garden feels very private.
