With fine views to the Quantock Hills and sitting in about 175 acres of woodland and pasture this is a very rare opportunity. There are no public rights of way across the property and the views are superb in all directions. Extensive landscaping works have taken place to open up the site ready for building to begin. It really is now a delightful and private location.

The property is only 10 miles from the centre of Taunton with easy access to junction 25 of the M5 motorway and the A303 via the A358. Taunton Station has regular services to London Paddington (about 1hr 45 mins) and Bristol Parkway (about 40 mins). Nearby Bishops Lydeard has a variety of shops, pubs and a farm shop.

The existing house is in a poor state of repair and could be a dangerous place in parts. All viewings in the house must be accompanied by the agents.

The planning history can be viewed on the Somerset West and Taunton Council planning portal (former West Somerset) under reference 3/07/20/012.

This property has 167.57 acres of land.

Using the postcode TA4 4BP, sat nav will actually take you just beyond the property. From the M5 junction 25, the A303 and Taunton, proceed westbound through Taunton on the A358 towards Minehead. Proceed directly along this road, keeping the Quantock Hills on your right hand side. About 7 miles from Taunton, turn left just after Flaxpool Garage on your left signed Crowcombe Heathfield and Crowcombe Station. Proceed along this lane for about half a mile, following the road around to the right after crossing over the steam railway and then bear left towards Willett and Tolland. Proceed up the hill past the first unmarked turn to the left and just at the brow of the hill you will see the entrance to the property on your left.
