Ham Road, Creech St. Michael, Taunton, Somerset TA3

An exceptionally attractive and sensitively renovated period house enjoying private grounds of approximately 1.3 acres, detached studio/gym facilities, garaging and direct frontage to the River Tone.

Homeleigh is a beautifully presented period home, believed to date from the early part of the 20th century, which has been tastefully modernised and remodelled to an exacting standard while retaining a strong sense of character and charm. Set within generous gardens extending to around 1.3 acres, the property enjoys a rare combination of seclusion, versatility and glorious riverside surroundings, all within easy reach of Taunton and the wider Somerset countryside. The house is complemented by a superb detached studio/gym, garaging, large gardens, paddock and extensive off road parking, making Homeleigh ideally suited to modern family life, home working or multigenerational use.

The accommodation is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged over two floors, with the emphasis firmly on light, space and day to day practicality. An entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall with staircase rising to the first floor. The principal sitting room enjoys lovely proportions, a feature fireplace and wide windows overlooking the garden. To the rear of the house, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the open plan kitchen, dining and family space, beautifully finished with a central island, extensive fitted cabinetry and a number of integral appliances, whilst still incorporating traditional touches including a Rayburn and open fire place with log burning stove and exposed timber beam over. Large windows and glazed doors draw in the garden views and create a seamless link between inside and out, ideal for entertaining and family living. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there are three well proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying attractive outlooks over the surrounding gardens and grounds. The principal bedroom is served by a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and large shower, finished with contemporary tiling and fittings.

The Studio / Gym
Positioned a short distance from the main house, the detached outbuilding provides a highly flexible space currently arranged as a gym and studio, with its own kitchenette and store room. This offers excellent potential for a home office, creative studio, guest accommodation or ancillary living (subject to any necessary consents).

Creech St Michael is a popular village located just to the east of Taunton, offering a strong sense of community alongside everyday amenities including a primary school, village shop and public house. Taunton itself provides a wide range of shopping, education and leisure facilities, together with a mainline rail link to London Paddington.

The area is well placed for access to the A358, M5 and the wider Somerset Levels, with rolling countryside, footpaths and bridleways all close at hand.

The property is set well back from the public highway and approached through attractive timber entrance gates flanked by stone pillars with brick quoins. A gravelled driveway gently meanders through the grounds, leading to the front of the house and onwards to a substantial detached outbuilding providing carport and garaging/workshop facilities. A sun terrace adjoins the side of the house and takes full advantage of the delightful garden views, offering an ideal space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight of Homeleigh. Laid predominantly to lawn and interspersed with a variety of mature trees and established planting, the grounds create a beautiful and private setting. To the rear of the garaging is a well arranged working garden incorporating a log store, greenhouse and a series of raised vegetable beds, all linked by gravelled pathways and enclosed by timber picket fencing. Beyond, a paddock with field shelter adjoins the garden, and in all the property extends to approximately 1.3 acres, offering both open space and privacy. Along the far boundary lies the River Tone, providing a tranquil and picturesque backdrop with opportunities to enjoy fishing, wildlife and ever changing seasonal views. The grounds offer ample scope for recreation, gardening or further landscaping, with a gentle and natural flow that complements this lovely riverside setting
