London (Waterloo) and access to the A35.
The World Heritage Coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast at Lyme
Bay is some 9 miles to the south and access to the A303 is
approximately 9 miles to the North. Exeter, the Cathedral City, has
excellent shopping facilities and a mainline rail link to London
(Paddington), also from Taunton has the quick train to London which
is 1hour and 44 minutes, international airport and M5 access and
lies some 28 miles west. The well-renowned Colyton Grammar
School, one of England's top mixed state schools lies some 9 miles away.
• Large garage and workshop with spiral staircase to a loft
room—ideal as a study, studio or hobby space
• Landscaped gardens with mature planting and open lawns
• Extensive woodland, both established and newly planted,
with meandering paths and quiet clearings
• Spring fed pond feeding a woodland stream along the
eastern boundary

NB. A public right of way exists through the woodland only, though
there is no known physical access to it.

perfect for gardening, small scale cultivation, wildlife watching or
simply enjoying the peace of the countryside.
