From the centre of Taunton proceed along Corporation Street and then continue straight over two mini roundabouts. At the following junction filter into the middle lane taking the sign posts for Trull and Blagdon Hill. Follow this road until reaching Blagdon Hill village. Continue through the village and having passed the Lamb and Flag public house on your left the property can be found after approximately one mile on your left identified by a Gibbins Richards ‘For Sale’ board.
Beech Cottage is a substantial detached family home, dating back in parts to the mid 1800’s, which enjoys a truly breathtaking position set on the slopes of the beautiful Blackdown Hills (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) above Blagdon Hill village and commanding panoramic views over Taunton Vale to the Quantock and Brendon Hills in the distance. Generously proportioned accommodation is spacious and naturally well lit with most rooms taking advantage of the far reaching views. Flexible ground floor living space includes three reception rooms, a reading room and a garden room whilst the first floor offers a galleried landing and six bedrooms (two of which with en-suite facilities). The property is set within a gently sloping plot of approximately 1.5 acres which includes a mature copse, informal lawns and an open paddock area. There is ample parking and a detached double garage.

LOCATION A wonderful rural setting is enjoyed by Beech Cottage which is located just one mile from Blagdon Hill village. Blagdon Hill is a sought after and unspoilt village situated approximately 5 miles to the south of Taunton. The village has a popular public house whilst nearby Trull has several shops, church and primary school. Taunton offers an excellent range of facilities including a wide choice of schools, colleges, shopping and business outlets together with convenient access to the M5 motorway and the A303.

The Gardens

The property stands in approximately 1.5 acres of informal gardens. A concrete driveway leads down to a generous concreted turning area and to the DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE 18’8 x 14’6 the garage has a remote controlled electrically operated up and over door, power points, electric light and window. From the top of the driveway a further gravelled in and out parking/turning area leads through a mature copse of deciduous and conifer trees. A gravelled footpath leads from here down to the house where there is a large pergola clad in Wisteria and Clematis. There are generous lawned areas which slope gently away from the house leading onto a rough grassed area/potential paddock. Most of the boundary to the gardens is marked by mature trees and hedgerows. Of interest, there are the remains of a stone built pig stye which now serves as a sheltered sunken area, ideal perhaps for entertaining.

Agents Note

The property has a Klargester septic tank system which was installed in the mid 1980’s

Referral Fees

We routinely refer potential sellers and purchasers to Gibbins Richards Conveyancing – a panel of local law firms. It is their decision whether they choose a law firm from the panel. In making that decision, it should be known that we receive a payment benefit of £150.00 per transaction.

We routinely refer sellers and purchasers to the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) for mortgage advice. It is their decision whether to use these services. In making that decision, it should be known that we receive a payment benefit of £180.00 per case.

We will not discriminate against any prospective buyer because that person will not be, or is unlikely to be accepting any services that we may (directly or indirectly) provide.
