The kitchen includes an integrated dishwasher, a fridge, freezer, 1 ? bowl white ceramic sink and a double glazed window overlooking the rear garden and paddock.

Bedroom two also has views across The Quantocks and includes an alcove for shelving. Bedroom three has two front aspect windows and bedroom four has a front aspect window with a walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom five has been fitted with BT points and multiple sockets, which would make this an ideal office space. The family bathroom has an L shaped bath and includes a fixed head shower unit, wash basin, WC and chrome heated towel rail. Outside The house has a shared gated driveway, which leads to a large detached double garage fitted with both water and electricity. The garage has twin up and over doors, a window to one side and storage space in the eaves. The drive also gives access to the 1.7 acre paddock, which is surrounded by natural hedge boundaries with a small copse and stream at the far end. The rear garden is currently laid to lawn with a contoured Indian sandstone patio area, a beautiful mature ash tree and has ample space for herbaceous planting. Eco Features The house has two kilowatt solar voltaic panels on the roof to generate electricity, signed up to the feed in tariff, and a rain water harvesting system, which is designed to use rainwater to flush all the toilets, which will significantly reduce water consumption. There is underfloor heating, which is a more economical way to heat the house due to the area it covers, and the thermal mass of the substrate. The house is also fitted with 400mm of loft insulation to minimise heat loss. Directions From Taunton proceed out of the town onto Kingston Road, and through Kingston St Mary.
