Location
If you want the best of both worlds then Pen Elm really does have it all. Not in town and yet close to town, with many amenities close by and excellent access to the Quantock Hills and West Somerset Coast. The village of Bishops Lydeard provides an excellent range of local amenities, including a Co-Op general store, a number of other shops including the post office and butchers, primary school, church, two public houses, doctor's surgery and pharmacy and a well-used village hall. The nearby Quantock Hills provide a large area of open space, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and runs all the way to the West Somerset Coastline, with a vast array of interconnecting foot and bridle paths, providing excellent walking, riding and mountain biking country. Taunton, the county town, lies approximately 2 miles away with M5 access at Junction 25 or 26.
Educational facilities are excellent with a variety of schools for all ages from primary, secondary and college. There is an excellent selection of independent schools within the Taunton area.
Agents Note
The property is offered with no ongoing chain as the owners are having a new home built in the grounds next door. They love the location at Pen Elm and by designing their next home they have been able to future proof their plans to continue to enjoy the views. The property is advanced in its construction and does not impede the enjoyment or aspect of Pen Elm.
From Taunton take the A358 in a northerly direction towards Williton and Minehead, from the Cross Keys roundabout. The property is approximately 0.5 mile along set back on the right hand side.
