4 Bed Bungalow House For Sale Stoke Road, North Curry, Taunton, TA3

Located in the popular village of North Curry, this spacious and flexible detached bungalow offers a good deal of privacy and tremendous potential sitting in a plot of c. 1/3 of an acre.


Built in the 1990’s to the first owner’s bespoke specification, Stonegate Lodge is located at the end of a private lane set back from the country road. Constructed of Bradstone Weathered Cotswold Stone, this spacious yet cosy individually designed detached bungalow sits within a third of an acre backing onto fields within the wonderful Somerset countryside. Priced to sell, the property has benefitted recently with the installation of new windows, front and rear doors, an upgrade to the central heating system and a major opening-up of what was a very overcrowded garden.
The living area sizes have to be seen to be believed, with 3 of the bedrooms having built-in wardrobes, 2 bedrooms being En-Suite. There are 2 large sitting rooms, a large dual-aspect kitchen/diner with far-reaching views and a Dining room with the size and scope to become a 5th Bedroom. Stonegate Lodge offers the next owners a tremendous opportunity for further development, with the potential to build, if required a substantial granny annexe/workshop/garden office/car port/further parking etc. (subject to the necessary planning permissions) or to just enjoy the space that this plot and property offers, with its large South facing garden overlooking fields. A detached double garage (with electric door, power and lights) is augmented with a large detached store building, both of which have attractive Cotswold Stone decorative block work. The property has all mains services including gas and drainage.

The property is located in the village of North Curry, which is one of the most sought after in the Taunton Vale. The property has easy access to the local footpaths and is within walking distance of the centre where excellent amenities include a village store, post office, Doctor’s surgery, primary school, public house, coffee shop and hairdressers. The village also has its own playing fields and cricket pitch with pavilion. The bungalow is within easy reach of the A303 to the south, the M5 at Junctions 25 at Taunton and 24 at Bridgwater, providing access to both Exeter and Bristol each of which has an international airport. A regular bus service is available to and from Taunton which in itself provides good shopping, excellent schools and a mainline rail link with a direct line to London Paddington.

Set back from the road, Stonegate Lodge sits in a plot of a third of an acre and enjoys a good degree of privacy with solid wooden entrance gates and gardens that wrap around the property on all four sides. Approached at the end of a private driveway you enter an extensive gravel area that can provide parking for several vehicles, near the double detached garage and good size detached store. Running across the back of the property to the south is a well maintained and stocked garden of mature bushes, shrubs (the large pink camellia being of particular note) and a large area of well-maintained lawn, all enclosed by a post and rail fence across the rear boundary, giving lovely views across fields to the rear. The remaining boundaries are made up of mature and recently planted hedging. There are three patio areas great for entertaining and a paved walkway running around the property. Outside water taps and electric points are also provided.
