Un Antico Lodge Affascinante E Splendidamente Ristrutturato, Che Si Ritiene Fosse Originariamente Il Giardino Del Giardiniere

A beautifully refurbished detached former lodge, set within approximately 0.16 of an acre, with generous wrap around gardens, far reaching countryside views and an abundance of character.

Believed to have originally been the gardener’s cottage to Heatherton Park House, this charming home has been thoughtfully and extensively refurbished by the current owners over the past four years, creating a comfortable and characterful property that is ready to enjoy.

Ideally positioned between Taunton and Wellington, the property is well placed for easy access to both towns, the M5 motorway and Musgrove Park Hospital. There is also a regular bus service nearby, while Blackdown Garden Centre, The Worlds End Public House, Willowbrook Garden Centre and Oake Manor Golf Course are all within easy reach.

Originally built as a single storey stone lodge beneath a slate roof, the property has been sympathetically extended over the years, retaining its original charm while benefiting from a comprehensive programme of modern improvements. The current owners have upgraded the insulation, plumbing and electrics, installed a new boiler and radiators, replaced the windows, renewed the flooring and decoration, and fitted a new kitchen and bathroom.

At the heart of the home is the welcoming living room, where a brand new wood burner and re-lined chimney create a cosy and inviting focal point. The separate dining room leads through to the newly fitted kitchen, with both rooms enjoying lovely views across the rear garden.

A central hallway leads to two comfortable double bedrooms and a beautifully presented family bathroom. To the rear, the conservatory provides a versatile additional reception space, perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding gardens and far reaching countryside beyond.

Outside, the gardens are a real delight. Wrapping around the property, they offer a wonderful sense of space and privacy, with areas of lawn, mature shrubs and established fruit trees. An elevated decking area provides the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the open rural outlook.

One of the property’s most distinctive features is the charming semi circular walled garden, believed to have formed part of the original kitchen garden. Now predominantly laid to lawn, it retains a lovely collection of established fruit trees, including pear, apple and plum, adding to the sense of history and character.

A private driveway provides generous parking and turning space, while further outside accommodation includes a detached garage, wood store, powered shed and greenhouse.

A rare combination of character, thoughtful refurbishment, generous gardens and beautiful countryside views, this charming former lodge offers a wonderfully peaceful setting while remaining conveniently placed for Taunton, Wellington and the surrounding area.
