Fabulous Large Country House - Sleeps 12 - Private Hot Tub available | Other in Taunton
5 Bedroom Place in Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton
Staple Hill House is a 5 bedroom characterful detached former farmhouse, part of which is believed to date back to the 1700's. Set within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the glorious Somerset countryside with views extending as far as the Quantock Hills yet only 10 minutes’ drive from the county town of Taunton. This spacious but cosy property really has something for everyone, making it great for families or friends looking to escape to the country together.
There are five bedrooms in total, three which feature en-suite facilities, with one bedroom being on the ground floor making it ideal for up to 2 guests with limited mobility who prefer not to have to go upstairs to bed.
Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included.
Directly outside there is a wonderful large private hot tub for 6/7 people which is set in it's own courtyard with a seating area where you can relax in this sun trap by day or under the stars and twinkly lights in the evening (as not all guests require this facility there is an additional charge depending on the number of nights & must be booked at time of reservation or at least 7 night prior to arrival)
A large private fully enclosed lawned garden wraps around the house with garden furniture and barbecue giving you plenty of space for the children to run around or to just sit back, relax and enjoy the fresh Somerset air!
Staple Hill House has its own entrance and is adjacent to the owner’s private stables so you may hear the odd clip clop as the horses or miniature shetlands come in and out but there is no machinery on site to disturb you.
There are 2 parking spaces immediately outside the house and a further parking area for 3 more cars also on the property.
The immediate area is a walker’s or cyclist’s paradise with routes in every direction and offers easy access to the Staple Fitzpaine Herepath, a shared cycle and walking bridleway with a network of marked trails through forestry and open land of varying lengths to suit everyone and forms in total a 13 mile loop around the village of Staple Fitzpaine.
The route primarily follows a series of off road tracks through wooded areas including Staple Park Wood, Piddle Wood and Bickenhall Wood. Castle Neroche and Staple Hill parks being of particular note where great walks and views can be enjoyed. Just ¾ of a mile away is the Greyhound Inn, a country pub serving food and drinks, or a short drive takes you to the very friendly, traditional and cosy Holman Clavel, a dog friendly pub offering a good selection of local food and drink which is surrounded by amazing walks.
The county town of Taunton is around 10 minutes’ drive away and has a host of shops, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. National Trust properties surround the area and the Great Somerset Steam Railway from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead is a must do for kids and adults. The seaside town of Lyme Regis on The Jurassic coast just over the Dorset border is a little over half an hour’s drive away. Taunton Racecourse 3 miles, Taunton County Cricket Ground 5 miles, shop 5 miles, pub ¾ of a mile, restaurant 3 miles.
