This beautiful period farmhouse of immense character and charm occupies a 1.3-acre plot in Kibbear, a small hamlet of houses situated off a quiet village lane on the outskirts of the popular village of Trull, just two miles from the centre of Taunton.
The four-bedroom property, named Kibbear Cottage, has been sympathetically restored and extended in recent years resulting a comfortable and beautifully presented living spaces providing highly flexible accommodation. Many original period features have been retained and the house is not listed.
On the ground floor, the welcoming sitting room has a deep inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a beamed ceiling and exposed wooden flooring. The separate dining room has a flagstone floor and a fireplace housing an ornamental inset stove.
The kitchen/dining area has a classic look with an open-plan layout with a range of fitted shaker-style units, granite work surfaces and a blue Aga. Also on this level, is a light-filled garden room with lovely views of the outside spaces.
On the first floor, there are four good-sized bedrooms and a smart family bathroom with a roll-top, claw-foot bath. The principal bedroom has exposed wooden flooring, a vaulted beamed ceiling and an ensuite bathroom.
Outside, at the front of the house, the garden is enclosed by low stone walling and has a beautiful thatched gated entrance with a cobblestone path leading to the front door. At the side of the property, a gravel driveway leads to a parking and hardstanding area and gives access to a detached double garage. On the first floor of the garage, the space could be transformed into a home office, studio or bedroom.
The rear garden is a delightful highlight of the property. The pretty garden is predominantly laid to lawn, featuring several well-established trees and mature shrubs, a wildlife pond, a vegetable patch, and a small orchard that backs onto open fields.
