To fully appreciate the position and finish of this superb property a viewing is highly recommended.

West Monkton is rightly regarded as one of the premier villages within the Taunton Vale district lying at the foot of the Quantock Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has no main road passing through it and boasts many highly valuable and attractive character properties, a popular pub restaurant, and a parish church whilst the County Town of Taunton is only about 3 miles away where the thriving Brewhouse Theatre, Tennis Centre, recreational and scholastic facilities and a wide range of shopping will be found. There are numerous local walks available from Tanglewood, and many others within the Quantock Hills. The M5 may be joined at J25 or J24. Although the property is set within the heart of the village it enjoys a good degree of privacy.

Enjoying an elevated position with far reaching views, this large and diverse plot has a number of outdoor leisure spaces. At the top of the gardens are a pair of circular sun terraces surrounded by beds of shrubs, palms and herbaceous plants. A flight of steps leads down to a sheltered seating area beside raised flower beds. To the front there is a wide level access paved terrace above raised flower beds, taking full advantage of the stunning views. The garden has an abundance of established plants, shrubs, flowers, mature trees and thriving tropical plants. In addition, there is a dry insulated double garage, a large and durable storage shed measuring 19 1 x 12 3 with power and light, an open shelter and a 500 gallon water storage tank beside the shed."
