Sidbrook Gardens , West Monkton, 0.56 Acre

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional development plot with the benefit of a resolution to grant planning permission for a striking contemporary residence extending to approximately 4,660 sq.ft, occupying a spectacular elevated setting of around 0.56 acre on the edge of Taunton.

Designed by the award-winning LSL Architecture, the proposed dwelling is an outstanding piece of contemporary architecture, carefully composed to sit within its gently sloping site whilst taking full advantage of far-reaching views across open countryside.

The design combines dramatic cantilevered forms, extensive glazing and natural materials including zinc cladding, brickwork and green sedum roofs to create a home of genuine architectural distinction. Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 4,660 sq.ft (433 sq.m) with beautifully proportioned living spaces centred around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, together with a separate sitting room opening onto extensive terraces designed for entertaining and enjoying the setting.

The proposed accommodation comprises:

• Reception Hall
• Magnificent open-plan Kitchen / Breakfast / Family Room
• Separate Sitting Room
• Study
• Utility and Laundry Rooms
• Plant Room
• Guest suite with Ensuite
• Principal Bedroom with Dressing Room and Ensuite
• 3 further double Bedrooms, all with Ensuites
• Double Garage
• Extensive terraces and covered outdoor entertaining areas

The proposed house has been thoughtfully designed to integrate with the topography of the site, creating exceptional connections between the internal accommodation and the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond. The plans also include biodiversity enhancements, green roofs and ecological mitigation as part of the approved design.

Occupying approximately 0.56 acre, the plot enjoys an enviable position within the highly regarded Sidbrook area of Monkton Heathfield, combining privacy with excellent accessibility. Taunton town centre lies only a short drive away, whilst the M5 motorway and Taunton Parkway railway station provide excellent communications to Bristol, Exeter and London.

This represents an increasingly rare opportunity to create an individually designed home of exceptional quality in one of Taunton's most desirable residential locations.

Sidbrook enjoys a semi-rural setting on the north eastern fringe of Taunton, surrounded by attractive countryside yet within easy reach of the town centre. The area offers an excellent balance between country living and convenience, with nearby schools, sporting facilities and everyday amenities, whilst Taunton provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities together with a mainline railway station offering regular services to London Paddington.
