A particular feature of Meadows is the purpose-built garage and workshop complex. Far removed from conventional domestic garaging, the building provides an impressive amount of secure, practical space, including extensive garaging, a substantial workshop, vehicle ramp and adjoining gym with mezzanine. It is an unusually comprehensive set-up and should have considerable appeal to the serious motoring enthusiast, collector or anyone requiring high-quality workshop and storage facilities at home.
For those with equestrian interests, Meadows is particularly well equipped with stabling, room and grounds including space for grazing .
Meadows is situated one and a half miles from Wellington and about 5 miles from Taunton, the County Town of Somerset.
Wellington offers an excellent range of local amenities including a variety of independent shops, supermarkets including Waitrose, Asda, Lidl and Co-op, sport and leisure facilities and a selection of schools, both primary and secondary including Wellington School.
Taunton is a bustling, forward-looking town with excellent amenities, a good selection of independent and high street shops, distinctive restaurants, cafés, a wealth of history and sporting facilities including the County Cricket Ground.
Meadows is also well situated for all transport links with access to the M5 motorway at Junction 26 and Taunton with its main line railway station linking to London Paddington in less than 2 hours.
The nearby countryside has numerous public footpaths and bridleways at the foot of the Blackdown Hills. The Brendon and Quantock Hills are also within easy reach.
