6 Bedroom Cottage in Trull

Located on a working arable farm 2.5 miles from Taunton, this beautifully converted barn makes a fabulous countryside escape for large families or groups of friends. The six-bedroom home combines countryside Somerset charm with easy access to shops in Taunton. With the Quantock Hills (7 miles) and Blackdown Hills (3 miles) on your doorstep, you’ll be well-placed for scenic countryside rambles.

This home has light-filled, stylish interiors with plenty of space for your group to spread out. It has an upside-down layout, with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner upstairs to make the most of the surrounding views. It’s a sociable hub with a sleek modern kitchen with breakfast bar, a generous dining table and a Smart TV and views over hills in every direction from its huge windows. There’s also a separate games room with air hockey and another Smart TV – excellent for keeping everyone entertained. The six bedrooms are spread across two floors and all come with countryside or garden views. It’s wonderful to relax in the garden, which has an enclosed lawn for games, a patio with BBQ and outdoor seating for leisurely lunches, and – perhaps best of all – a private heated indoor pool. Tucked upstairs in its own dedicated building, the pool is available from 7am to 7pm and comes with changing facilities, a shower and a handy utility space with laundry appliances. Private parking is available for six cars.

Nearby, hop on a steam train on the West Somerset Railway (7.5 miles) for a nostalgic journey, or plan a day hike in Exmoor National Park (13 miles) where you may encounter the resident ponies. There are also a number of National Trust properties dotted around the region, including Fyne Court (8.5 miles), a wild garden and estate of woodland and meadows within the Quantocks. The north coast beach of Watchet (19.5 miles) is perfect for a day of sand and sea, while the south coast hotspots of Sidmouth (27 miles) and Seaton (23.5 miles) offer laid-back charm and pretty promenades.
