Annexe
A superb addition to the main residence c.10 years ago, the annexe is a single level, two bedroom bungalow, with independent access to the drive, an interconnecting door to the main house and its own private garden. Curved walls in the hallway ensure that the abode is wheelchair friendly whilst underfloor heating throughout is one of the hallmarks of its more modern construction. The kitchen room sits at the rear of the property, again taking advantage of the delightful views onto the open land to the South. The kitchen itself is laid with a tiled floor and boasts an array of wall and base units with worktops and mosaic tiled splashback over, integrated fridge freezer, 4 ring induction hob, eye level oven and grill, one and a half stainless steel sink with drainer along with space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Both bedrooms are double rooms, with the larger benefiting from a bespoke, integrated wardrobe across one wall, whilst the bathroom completes the accommodation with a stylish design, featuring shower cubicle, roll top bath, WC and pedestal basin.

The property occupies an attractive site close to the Somerset levels on the edge of the popular hamlet of Stathe. Lying approximately 4 miles from Langport, 7 miles from Bridgwater and 11 miles from the county town of Taunton, the property is ideally situated. Local amenities can be found in the neighbouring village of Stoke St Gregory, where there is a village store, church, pre & primary schools and public house. A more comprehensive range of facilities can be enjoyed in the aforementioned towns, and prestigious schools such as Millfield, and the Taunton trio are all reasonably accessible. Taunton enjoys a main line rail link to London Paddington and motorway access can be gained at J24 and J25 of the M5.

East Curry Manor occupies a pleasant situation within its plot, with ample garden either side, open neighbouring land to the rear and a more than ample driveway.
Immediately adjacent to the Jacuzzi room is the social hub of the garden. A stunning decked terrace occupies a gorgeous spot overlooking the pond, whilst a neighbouring gazebo offers the perfect sun shelter to enjoy the scenery alongside a pergola with a canopy of jasmine and clematis adding another splash of vibrant colour. At the heart of this area is a heated and filtered swimming pool, with near panoramic views of the garden.
Beyond the pond is a roughly ¼ acre orchard, bordered by hedging and red brick walls; interspersed with a variety of apple trees and a recently constructed summer house overlooking the land.
A path extends along the back of the property, along which lies a decked terrace leading out from the annexe kitchen, taking advantage of the rural views. To the side lies a further garden laid mostly to lawn, with decorative borders and a small ornamental pond. A greenhouse and a large garden shed sit in the corner, giving the annexe a flexible amount of garden, should it be wished. The garden borders a further, small ‘paddock‘, accessible through a 5 bar gate from the drive. The drive itself is laid to gravel, the gated entrance to which is biset with two lawned areas lined with a trio of trees.
In addition to the main residence, the property also possesses a wealth of outbuildings in the form of stores, garages and workshops, accessible again from the drive. A handy office adjoins the main house and houses the CCTV security system for the property, along with a separate business telephone line, whilst two large stores and a double garage are adjacent. To the other side of the yard is a roughly 1700 sq.ft. workshop garage complex. Purpose built and with business class use, the network comprises a pair of workshops, large garage and additional store, with an assortment of shelving and benches throughout. "
