This handsome Grade II listed Georgian residence occupies a central position in the small village of Bishops Hull, on the western outskirts of Taunton. The property is in a slightly tucked away spot with little or no passing traffic yet is readily accessible to the centre of Taunton and the A38.
This imposing period property is believed to date back to the mid to late 18th century and is constructed of weathered, flemish bond, brick elevations with Bath stone detailing and coping stones.
The property is symmetrical in appearance and has an attractive façade, typical of the era. Formerly used as the NatWest Bank training centre, the current owners have restored the property to its former glory, and it is now a superb private residence spanning over four floors.
Inside, the house offers a wealth of character features with generous room proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows flooding the internal space with natural light. The spacious dual-aspect kitchen/family room has a lovely open-plan layout. The kitchen area features a range of modern cream-coloured units, quartz worksurfaces and a central island with a breakfast bar. There is also a separate formal dining room and a Winchester room, which is currently used as a games room. The rear hall gives access to a WC, utility and gym.
A lockable door separates the annexe from the main house, allowing it to be rented out without imposing on privacy. The annexe has a kitchen, dining room, living room, a large double bedroom and a modern family bathroom.
On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to three larger-than-average bedrooms, a nursery/dressing room and a family bathroom. Three double bedrooms, each with far-reaching views, can be found on the second floor.
The house also has a cellar, currently used as a study/hobbies room.
Outside, generous and partly walled gardens and grounds surround the house that are mainly laid to lawn and include a superb Mulberry tree, a variety of herbaceous borders and several mature trees providing privacy. A large timber cabin was recently installed in the garden.
There is parking space for up to ten vehicles.
