This converted Grade II listed coach house occupies a quiet position on the fringes of the small village of Ash Priors, set amid unspoilt countryside and nestled between the Quantocks, Blackdown and Brendon Hills, with Taunton just over six miles away.
It is understood that the origins of the charming property, named Little Court, date back to 1808 when it was a coach house. Rich in architectural and historical features, it is accordingly Grade II listed and has been sympathetically converted to create a warm and inviting family home.
Inside, on the ground floor, the sitting room is a substantial space with a dual aspect, a high ceiling and a fireplace housing a woodburning stove. The adjacent dining room also has a feature fireplace flanked by alcoves featuring display shelves. The study is a well-proportioned room with lovely oak flooring. There is also a conservatory with tiled flooring and French doors opening to the garden.
The kitchen has a classic look and is fitted with a range of shaker-style units, wooden work surfaces and some integrated appliances including a range-style cooker.
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, and a smart family bathroom fitted with a spa bath and a separate corner shower. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a door to the ‘Jack & Jill’ ensuite bathroom which it shares with the third bedroom.
Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the side and rear of the property, featuring expanses of lawn with well-stocked borders filled with flowering shrubs and plants, including Hydrangeas, Camellias, Magnolias, and Peonies. There is also a terrace, an established kitchen garden and a timber-decked sitting area with an octagonal summerhouse.
The detached office/garden room has two pairs of French doors opening into the garden. This versatile space is suitable as a family room, office, or studio.
At the front, there is an enchanting courtyard with a water feature, complemented by a mature Wisteria. There is also a gravel driveway providing ample parking space for several vehicles.
