Set well back within its grounds, The Old Vicarage has a screened, private setting that looks out through broadleaf trees lining Linden Grove onto a charming, park-like green space containing four grass tennis courts. It dates from the latter part of the 19th century and is a wonderful example of the sort of fine family house that the Church of England built for members of its parish clergy at that time. The house has generous, well-proportioned accommodation spread over three floors and is built of local stone under a Welsh slate roof with deep eaves. It sits in the north-east corner of its grounds thereby providing extended, south-facing views across the garden to the sitting room, kitchen/dining room and principal bedroom, whilst the study faces east to get the best of the morning light towards the tennis courts opposite. The house is unlisted and has retained many original architectural fittings in light, airy rooms with tall ceilings lit by tall, double-glazed sash windows. It has recently undergone a three-year full refurbishment finished to a very high standard. The interior was styled and redesigned by an award-winning interior, who has achieved a superb feeling of space and light throughout. The interior is filled with natural light with three reception rooms on the ground floor. Of these the sitting room and study both have open fireplaces, whilst the family room has a cosy wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with floor to ceiling contemporary units, a four-oven AGA, Belfast sink plus a range of built-in electrical appliances and has a three tall, wide windows looking out across the garden. Upstairs there is a centrally positioned, broad landing leading the five good-sized bedrooms. The principal, L-shaped bedroom faces south and has an integral bath and shower and separate, ensuite WC. The fifth bedroom currently serves as a dressing room lined on two facing sides by floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes.Secondary Accommodation & GardenIncorporated within the house are a one-bedroom ground floor flat and a two-bedroom maisonette on the first and second floors and accessed by its own entrance on the ground floor. Both are fashioned from rooms formerly used by live-in domestic staff and therefore do not impinge on the privacy of the main part of the house. Both face predominantly north and west looking out onto Elm Grove and are entirely self-contained.The house is approached via a vehicle entrance off Linden Grove leading to a gravelled parking area on the east side of the house, where there is ample space for several vehicles. Beside the parking area is a double garage. The grounds extend to about half an acre and are bound by a mix of tall, close-boarded timber fencing and low stone walling topped with mature hedging. Privacy is further enhanced by a mix of several, native broadleaf trees including an impressive beech tree shielding the south-east corner of the house. Behind the house is a large, gravelled seating and dining area that is sheltered and not overlooked. This provides a very private entertaining space and alongside it are a wood-fired jacuzzi and a Swedish style sauna.The Old Vicarage is situated back from the junction of Linden Grove and Elm Grove, two handsome, tree-lined residential streets within level walking distance of Taunton town centre. Sited on the River Tone with a population of about 65,000, Taunton is an old market town and is the county town of Somerset. The Old Vicarage is perfectly sited to take full advantage of all that the town has to offer. There is a convenience store just a third of a mile away and it is close to a wide selection of supermarkets, Somerset County Cricket Club, the river, French Weir Park and Victoria Park. The train station is only a 13-minute walk away offering direct services to Paddington (1 hour 40 minutes), Exeter St. David's (29 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (1 hour 3minutes). The town also offers a wide selection of schools from both the state and independent sectors. These include The Castle School and Richard Huish College (both Ofsted-rated 1 Outstanding) plus the well-regarded King's College Taunton and Queen's College, all within a two-mile radius.

Looking over its large and beautiful part-walled garden, Barr House has a charming setting off a little-used country lane close to the River Tone. It was bought by its current owner back in 1972 by when it had become very neglected and almost derelict. It subsequently underwent a full programme of faithful restoration and improvement. Starting life as a farmhouse in the 17th century and Grade II listed, Barr House itself was created in the mid-18th century when the farmhouse was transformed into a much grander and beautifully proportioned U-plan house. This incorporated many of the classic, Georgian-era architectural features that came to symbolise probably the most elegant period of British architecture. These include rendered exterior walls grooved to resemble cut stone, a Bath stone colonnaded front porch, tall 12 and 16-pane sash windows, a Welsh slate roof with deep eaves and a front carriage driveway incorporating a pear-shaped turning circle.The interior has a wonderfully light and airy feel with well-proportioned rooms, tall ceilings and some equally gorgeous fittings including several beautiful fireplaces, plentiful rich joinery and some lovely, moulded plaster ceilings. The ground floor has four generously sized reception rooms off a central hall, all facing east or south, plus a separate breakfast room next to the kitchen at the back of the house. The kitchen is fitted with a tiled floor, handmade timber units under granite work surfaces and a four-oven AGA. Immediately adjacent to it is a good-sized pantry off the corridor to the utility room.The first floor has a central, galleried landing that mirrors the hall below, with the stairwell well-lit by natural light. Arranged around three sides of the landing are five double and two single bedrooms, with all the major bedrooms facing south and/or east with wonderful views over the gardens and surrounding farmland. The principal bedroom faces in both directions and has the largest of the house's two bathrooms immediately adjacent to it.The Cottage and Stable BlockAttached to one side of the house is a brick-built and lime-rendered cottage built around 1800. The cottage has a living room and kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms with a bathroom on the first floor. It does not impose on the privacy of the main house and is ideal as overflow or staff accommodation or as an Airbnb. Behind the cottage is the former stable yard, which provides ample parking space for the house. To one side and at a right angle to the main house is a brick-built stable block with two floors, with each storey serving as a single workroom/storage space. Beside it are a collection of further outbuildings serving as garden and log stores.Garden and groundsBarr House stands in about 4.38 acres (1.77 hectares) of magical gardens and grounds, which are bound along the length of Barr Lane by high walling that provides a high level of privacy. The front wrought iron gates open to a gravelled carriage driveway.The house sits in the northwest corner of its grounds with about two acres of beautiful, established formal gardens extending out to the south and east. These feature an exceptional tapestry of level lawns, mature trees, richly planted borders and a large pond. Beyond the garden and covering the remaining two-plus acres is a successful and established plant nursery specialising in bulbous plants, which has its own entrance and parking area further down Barr Lane at the far side of the grounds(see Barr House is situated in the hamlet of Barr amidst open countryside and close to the western edge of Taunton, which is a former market town and now the county town of Somerset. The property therefore has a rural setting but is perfectly sited to take full advantage of all that the town has to offer. Overall, the town contains a wide selection of shops, restaurants and local businesses plus sporting venues such Somerset County Cricket Club and Taunton Racecourse. There is a village shop in the next door village, Bishops Hull, plus a wide selection of large supermarkets nearby. The train station provides direct services to Paddington (1 hour 40 minutes), Exeter St. David's (29 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (1 hour 3 minutes) and the M5 is only six miles away. It also offers a wide selection of schools from both the state and independent sectors. These include The Castle School and Richard Huish College (both Ofsted-rated 1 Outstanding) plus the well-regarded King's College, Queens College and Taunton school, all within a three-mile radius.

Situated on the edge of the village with views over unspoilt farmland towards the Blackdown Hills twenty miles away, Court House is an impressive and eye catching Queen Anne-style farmhouse built in 1725. It is Grade II listed and built of lovely mellow red brick with its front decorated by a regular pattern of purple bricks and an impressive portico supported by Tuscan Doric columns and a Welsh slate roof adorned with bonneted dormer windows. To the rear it has a 2-storey south-facing Victorian wing with Welsh-slate roof that looks out over the garden.Court House offers not only multi generational living, but several other possible uses including serviced accommodation; holiday lets; renting on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, or a small business.A programme of renovation and improvement has now been largely completed by the current owners, with sufficient remaining to enable new owners to put their own stamp on the house. It has retained many original architectural features including timber floors, wainscot panelling, fireplaces, cornicing, picture rails and window seats.Since the EPCs for the Barn and the main House were assessed, internal wall insulation has been added and other work has been done to further improve the ratings.The ground floor currently has three reception rooms, all of which have fireplaces fitted with wood-burning stoves, plus a lovely farmhouse kitchen that looks out onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an Indesit range cooker and has ample space for a big kitchen table and a sofa and adjacent to it is a large workroom that would make an ideal family room.Off the first floor landing is the principal bedroom with an en suite bath and shower room, three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom. A secondary landing leads to the games room, which has a vaulted ceiling and windows on two sides and at the far end is a further double bedroom that currently serves as a home office. A self-contained flat with four double bedrooms and its own ground floor entrance has been created from the house's extensive suite of attic rooms. This additional accommodation could be included within the rest of the house with no structural change.Cottage & BarnBehind the house is a single-storey three bedroom, two bathroom barn conversion with its own parking, garden and paved courtyard. Attached to, and to the north of the main house, is a three bedroom, two bathroom cottage with its own garden. Both have been let very successfully for some years under Assured Shorthold Tenancies providing a steady income stream. However, if required, the cottage and flat could be incorporated into Court House which would be ideal for families seeking a multi-generational living arrangement where a good level of privacy is desirable for two or more households.Outbuildings, garden & groundsCourt House is approached via a curving driveway leading to a gravelled parking area in front of the house and passing a circular, spring-fed pond with an ornamental fountain at its centre, overlooked by a mature Japanese flowering cherry tree. A stream flows out of the pond through the south-facing, lawned garden, which is bounded by mature hedging and trees. Behind the house is further parking, an attractive granary supported on staddle stones, single garage and a workshop with integral office. Beyond the rear parking area is a sloping, south-facing, one acre paddock enclosed by stock-proof fencing with fantastic views from its highest point.Court House has a lovely setting on the edge of the small village of Ash Priors, which is surrounded by unspoilt countryside nestling between the Quantocks, Blackdown and Brendon Hills and is within easy reach of Exmoor and the North Somerset coast.The village itself has a 15th century church and village hall and the nearby village of Bishops Lydeard has a farm shop, Co-op convenience store and two popular pubs. For day-to-day requirements Wellington has a good range of shops and local businesses including a Waitrose supermarket and Taunton is also within easy reach.
