This striking detached residence occupies an enviable location on the threshold of Blagdon Hill village, while Taunton is less than five miles away to the north. The four-bedroom dwelling benefits from lovely, picturesque views over the open countryside, and easy access to the Blackdown Hills where there is an abundance of pathways and bridleways for those with walking and riding interests. The characterful property, named Pixie Lawn, is a stunning restoration of two former cottages that were converted into one dwelling by a well-known reputable builder to use as his own residence.
Both of the original cottages were over 300 years old and were carefully combined to create a single house that seamlessly blends a range of contemporary styles yet retains much of its original charm and character by re-using many of the original materials. Inside, the house is beautifully presented with high-specification finishes and attention paid to the fine details.
The front door opens into an impressive dining hall which features exposed wooden flooring, a handmade staircase and beamed ceilings. The nearby snug is a cosy space with dual aspect windows and part exposed stone walling. The stylish kitchen has a contemporary look with blue shaker-style units, Quartz work surfaces and several integrated appliances including twin ovens with an overhead copper extractor hood. A door leads to the ‘Great Room’ which has a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak flooring, an open fireplace with a woodburning stove and bi-folding doors to the rear terrace.
On the first floor, a galleried landing with a vaulted ceiling gives to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a contemporary suite. The principal bedroom benefits from a high vaulted ceiling, a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a luxury ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and a double shower cubicle. The guest bedroom also has an ensuite shower room and built-in storage.
Outside, the landscaped rear gardens are enclosed and feature a paved terrace, an area of lawn, herbaceous borders and several apple and plum trees.
