A striking detached period house overlooking open countryside in all just under 1 Acre.
Outwood House is a particularly handsome double fronted period house with attractive mellow stone elevation under a pitch tiled roof. The house enjoys oil fired central heating and double glazing and retains much of its inherent character including a number of period working fireplaces, reproduction beamed ceilings, exposed doors and woodwork. The house is particularly well presented and provides the most comfortable accommodation, typical of the period with well portioned reception rooms with good ceiling heights and views of the surrounding countryside from most windows. A glazed entrance conservatory leads through to an entrance hallway with turning staircase to first floor and Victorian tiled floor with doors to the main reception rooms, rear hall and utility. The three reception rooms are all of a good size and include attractive open fireplaces and enjoy countryside views. The kitchen has a range of handmade American oak fronted wall and base units with work surfaces on three walls and includes reproduction beamed ceilings and the original meat hooks are still in place. At the back of the house is a large utility room with door to rear and provides access to the ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower with W.C. On the first floor is a galleried landing leading to the four main bedrooms all enjoying lovely views over surrounding countryside. The second bedroom has plumbing for an en-suite and the family bathroom has been recently refurbished comprising a shower and freestanding bath. Outside the house has a driveway with a garden to the front and views over the surrounding countryside. The driveway extends to the side and rear of the house, providing a parking and turning area with access to orchard and workshop.
OPTION AGREEMENT
An Option Agreement exists providing the right to purchase the field in front of the house (in excess of 2.5 acres) and the two storey brick built barn, both at agricultural value. The Agreement may be exercised when certain trigger events occur.
Outwood House lies in the stunning location a short distance from Taunton amongst open countryside with only one immediate neighbour. The house enjoys superb views over the adjoining the fields. The Taunton and Bridgwater canal with boat centre is an excellent spot for walking, cycling, canoeing and boat trips providing an open cycle path with traffic free access to villages between the towns of Taunton and Bridgwater is directly opposite the house. Excellent car access can be obtained to Taunton on the A361, as well as connecting to the A38 and the M5 at junction 25 and 24 which are within a short distance. Taunton provides an excellent range of shopping and scholastic facilities as well as a mainline railway station.
A pillared entrance with heavy wrought iron gate takes you through a shared entrance on to the driveway with area of lawn to one side, extending to the front, side and rear of the property. Directly at the front of the house there is an area of lawn with steps leading up to an enclosed walled garden with pillars at the front of the house. To the rear of the house is a parking and turning area and lawn with access to the storage shed. A gateway provides access to the orchard which includes a former railway carriage and access to the field. In all the plot extends to approximately 0.8 Acres.
