4 Situation and amenities The Lynch is situated in a wonderful private rural location in a beautiful part of the Somerset rolling countryside, which remains unspoilt. Whilst the setting is rural, the area is by no means isolated and benefits from easy access to surrounding villages. The nearby small town of Wellington is within 2 miles and offers a range of independent shops and a superb Waitrose, whilst Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, provides a more extensive range of amenities associated with a major regional centre. Junction 26 of the M5 motorway is easily accessible at Wellington and access can also be gained to the motorway at Junction 25 Taunton and Junction 27 Tiverton, all providing links to Devon and Cornwall to the south and Bristol and London to the north and east. There are regular rail services to London Paddington from Taunton train station taking approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, whilst Bristol and Exeter international airports provide a number of domestic and international flights, including daily morning and evening flights to City Airport (1 hour). London Heathrow by train is 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Lynch is well situated to take advantage of the numerous well renowned public schools in the local area. Wellington School is just 2 miles from the property, whilst Taunton is home to King s, Queen s and Taunton School and Tiverton benefits from Blundell s School. The area surrounding The Lynch is lovely rolling countryside, with no close neighbours. There is easy access to the north to Exmoor National Park and to the east The Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whilst both the north coast and south coasts are easily accessible. The Lynch sits on the site of two former game keepers cottages on the edge of the original Nynehead Estate and planning permission was granted, in 1991, to construct an exceptional detached house. The original construction started in 1992 with an outstanding specification and has been much enhanced and extended by the current owners in recent years. The entire property now commands an exceptionally high level of finish and all improvements have been executed with flawless taste and exceptional attention to detail. Unusually for a modern house, The Lynch offers wonderful proportions and of particular note is the light and airy kitchen/breakfast/family room to the east of the house. The magnificent dining room is of exceptional proportions and is flooded with light. The Lynch succeeds in offering modern day family living but is also equipped and proportioned for entertaining on an extravagant and large scale. Accommodation A long private driveway leads off the quiet single track country lane, south to a gravelled parking and garaging area. The Lynch benefits from high quality fittings throughout and many state of the art appliances. An oak framed porch provides access to the spacious entrance hall with a downstairs wet room, which is fully tiled in limestone. From the entrance hall, a door leads through into the octagonal drawing room, enjoying four aspects. This room is centred on a Chesney fireplace with marble mantelpiece and marble window sills. The sitting room is a south facing room providing double doors to the terrace. The kitchen is a bespoke hand built Mark Butterfield kitchen and is well equipped with an array of state of the art appliances to include a sub-zero fridge freezer, two Gaggenau dishwashers, a Gaggenau coffee machine, Miele steam oven and microwave, a Mercury Range cooker, Kohlar sinks and Dornbracht taps, as well as benefitting from granite worktops and a granite top central island. The kitchen has a marble floor and granite window sills. An opening provides access to the dual aspect family room with bi-folding doors south to the garden, both rooms being air conditioned and wonderful views towards Wellington Monument and the Blackdown Hills.
