Description

Rare opportunity to aquire detached exceptional spacious family home built to exacting standards. In the centre of the sought after village of Blagdon Hill. Being sold with no onward chain, viewing highly recommended.

Pixie Lawn has been painstakingly rebuilt from its former roadside position and transformed from two farm derelict cottages, Pixie Lawn and Shangri-La, into one exceptional family home by a highly respected local builder, for his own occupation. No expense has been spared and has been thoughtfully designed throughout with quality and character features. The property showcases an array of bespoke fittings and handcrafted details, seamlessly blending period charm with modern comforts to offer a truly luxurious lifestyle opportunity.

The spacious accommodation includes four generous double bedrooms, served by three beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms. On the ground floor, three elegantly unique reception rooms provide versatile and inviting living spaces, ideal for both family life and entertaining.

Ideally situated at the gateway to the Blackdown Hills, Blagdon Hill enjoys a picturesque setting on the edge of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its rural appeal, Taunton is just four miles away, while the village itself offers a welcoming community with a traditional public house, village hall and excellent educational facilities catering for all ages close at hand.

The property is located within this much favoured village of Blagdon Hill which is situated on the southern edge of the town at the foot of the Blackdown Hills which are part of the National Landscapes. The village provides amenities which include a public house, recreation cricket ground and tennis court. Primary schooling can be found close by at the village of Trull along with a well subscribed village school, post office and village stores. Taunton is easily accessible being just over 4 miles away providing it’s extensive range of shopping, great school, including Castle and Bishop Foxes plus other educational establishments, sporting and cultural facilities along with access to the M5 motorway and a main line intercity rail link.

The property is approached from the road via a pretty, mature front garden enclosed with a beautiful stone dwarf wall. The steps lead to an attractive oak storm porch leading to the impressive wooden front door. The block paved driveway gives access to a large garage/workshop. The rear garden which is also fully enclosed, is thoughtfully landscaped with an array of areas to enjoy, showcasing mature flowers, shrubs, plants and trees creating a quiet oasis away from the main village. The large patio area immediately outside the property, is an ideal spot for alfresco entertaining. The property is being sold with no onward chain and viewing is highly recommended.
