4 Situation Hughenden House occupies an elevated enviable setting on the southern edge of Taunton town centre, with wonderful views towards the Blackdown Hills. Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, has an extensive shopping centre with many wellknown High Street and independent stores, as well as a weekly market, library, theatre and arts centre, supermarkets and a number of restaurants, all within walking distance of the property. There are three well-respected independent schools in Taunton, namely Taunton School, King s and Queen s Colleges, as well as Richard Huish College together with a number of state schools, which also have excellent reputations. Vivary Park, a former medieval fish farm which supplied the castle, is just around the corner from Hughenden House and now hosts a bowling club, golf course and an annual flower show as well as outdoor classical concerts, around the Edwardian bandstand, which run throughout the summer. For those with sporting interests, regular race meetings are held at Taunton Racecourse and Taunton is also the home of Somerset County Cricket Club where there are a number of regular fixtures held at their iconic town centre ground. There are also a number of well-known popular golf courses in the area, including Oake Manor, Pickeridge, Enmore and, slightly further afield, Burnham and Burrow. The motorway network is very accessible from the property with junction 25 of the M5 approximately 2 miles to the east. There are also frequent trains to London Paddington and the rest of the country from Taunton Railway Station. Hughenden House is superbly situated to take advantage of the vast network of footpaths and bridleways which run through the Quantocks, the Blackdowns (both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) the Brendons and Exmoor National Park, all of which have a number of charming country pubs. The University cities of Bath, Bristol and Exeter are all within approximately 50 miles, with the latter two also having international airports.

5 Description Hughenden House, close to the centre of Taunton, is a collection of individual, spacious and highly distinctive apartments which have been created within a former Victorian property, with the addition of a contemporary new build. It is thought to have been built by Henry Davis, a well-respected local builder and amateur architect, in the late 1800s and has had many uses over the years when it was split into two large semi-detached properties known as Hertford House (No 10) and Telemedic House (No 12). Hertford House was most recently a dental surgery and Telemedic house (formally Stafford Villa) has had a number of commercial occupiers. The 8 apartments within the older building are very generously proportioned with high ceilings and large windows. The spacious apartments have a number of other interesting and architectural features which have been restored to make each one individual. They have been finished to a high standard using a range of textures, materials and colours to sympathise and enhance the property, where required. All of the apartments benefit from south facing balconies or terraces apart from Apartment 2, which faces north. The penthouse (Apartment 8) spans the whole of the top floor and is arguably one of the most desirable apartments in the area with its own private lift, far reaching views and extensive open plan living space. All of the apartments will be finished to a similar, yet individual, specification with a central vacuum system, modern fully integrated bespoke kitchens with solid granite worktops, sophisticated modern bathroom suites and underfloor heating and new flooring throughout. The new build has been constructed on the southern boundary of the site to take advantage of the views towards the Blackdown Hills. The 4 apartments all have south facing balconies and are finished to the same high specification as the old building, but with the benefit of a lift. Within this block, apartment 10 has been allocated to assist with local market affordability and is only available to a local first time purchaser aspiring to get a foothold on the property ladder. On the roof of the new build are a number of Photovoltaic panels which provide green energy to the communal areas, thereby benefitting all owners. Automated electronic gates open into the parking and turning area of the development, with each apartment allocated a parking space. The developer has fitted a video entry system to the external communal doors as well as exterior sensor lighting.
