Full Details for 8 Bedroom Detached for sale in Watchet, TA23 :
A substantial and handsome, country house with 8 bedrooms set in lovely wooded grounds of approximately 1.5 acres. Halscombe House is approached via a private driveway through trees with gardens fully surrounding the property. Thought to have been constructed in the mid 1920's, it has a number of attractive period features and many fine fireplaces. The accommodation is set out on 3 levels and comprises 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 reception rooms and a sunroom/conservatory. Halscombe House stands in a rural position just outside Washford village and has a private and pleasant aspect overlooking open farmland. PLEASE NOTE - additional land to the garden could be available by separate negotiation with the vendors. Within the grounds there is a good sized, \"above ground\" swimming pool. The accommodation is flexible with 2 separate staircases. There is therefore some potential for sub-division if prospective purchasers wished to self contain part of the house for dependant relative, Bed & Breakfast or similar \"annexe\" use.
Situation
The property is situated approximately half a mile outside Washford village in a rural location but with good road access to Minehead (6 miles) and Taunton (17 miles). Taunton has excellent mainline rail services to London (from 1 hour 40 minutes) and access to M5 motorway. Halscombe House is within 2 miles of the coast at the ancient harbour town at Watchet and close to the edge of Exmoor and the Quantock Hills which are ideal for walkers. For steam train enthusiasts the West Somerset Railway passes nearby and Washford station is within an easy 10 minute walk.
Services
The property is served by mains electricity, water and drainage and has oil fired central heating.
Directions
Leaving the centre of Washford proceed along the A39 in the direction of Minehead and Carhampton. After passing Washford station on the W.Somerset Steam Railway leave the village and continue for a further 500 metres whereupon the house will be seen on the L/H side identified by our \"For Sale\" board.
