Description
Set in 2.39 acres on the edge of the picturesque Blackdown Hills, this individual and spacious detached property offers you the chance to create your a dream home, in a dream location.
The Property - A practical storm porch leads into a spacious reception hall, with the main living areas positioned at the rear of the property to take full advantage of the beautiful views across the grounds. These include an especially generous living room with access to the sun terrace, a kitchen adjoining a well-proportioned dining/family room that could easily be combined to create one large open-plan space, as well as a ground-floor bathroom, double bedroom, and utility room with an adjoining shower area and WC.
Upstairs, a sizeable landing provides access to four additional bedrooms and a well-sized family bathroom. Whether you choose to update and modernise the existing accommodation or use the current property as the foundation for a more ambitious redesign, the house offers exceptional scope to create a truly outstanding home in this highly desirable location.
Outside - A generous driveway to the front of the property sweeps down to a double garage with two adjoining stables / store rooms. The extensive grounds are currently uncultivated and lie predominantly to the south-west. A large paved sun terrace extends across the rear of the property and makes the most of the fabulous views.
Situation - Buckland St Mary is a rural parish on the Blackdown Hills, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now known as a National Landscape) on the border of Somerset and Devon. It’s very much your quintessential countryside setting with rolling hills and pastoral scenes around every corner, and yet is still only a short drive from excellent road links via the A30 / A303 connecting to the A358 and M5. Buckland St Mary village benefits from facilities including a primary school, pretty Church and community hall. The neighbouring villages of Combe St Nicholas and Bishopswood have a wider range of facilities including local pubs and many community-based activities.
The pretty market town of Ilminster lies about 6 miles to the east, and has a wonderful range of local facilities including award winning Butchers, Deli, independent retailers, cafes and restaurants. The County Town of Taunton is just 8 miles to the North with excellent retail, commercial and educational opportunities. There are main line railway stations at both Crewkerne (Waterloo) and Taunton (Paddington). For those wanting to nip to the coast the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline is just 18 miles to the south at Lyme Regis and accessible within 30-40 minutes’ drive.
