DESCRIPTION
Comprehensively
refurbished

character property combines the best of
modern living with the charm and
character of a period property. The

this very popular village on the Southern
edge of the Blackdown Hills, a
designated Area of Outstanding Natural

very much one of an unchanging
agricultural nature with undulating fields,
woods and copses. Taunton offers a
wide range of shopping, recreational and
educational facilities, with a good choice
of independent schools, access to the
M5 motorway (J25) and an intercity rail
link (London Paddington). Both Bristol
