Ideally situated in this enviable town centre location is Forde House, a deceptively private and spacious Grade II Listed period town house, dating back in part to the late 18th Century, offering flexible 5/7 bedroomed accommodation over 3 floors set within established mature South facing walled ...
Property Oracle says ..
This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom property located on Upper High Street in Taunton, Somerset, presents itself as a substantial period home with considerable character. The images showcase a thoughtfully arranged layout with multiple living spaces, a well-equipped kitchen, and charming period features like exposed beams. The property appears well maintained. The exterior shots reveal a pleasing garden, a relatively rare feature for a town centre property and further enhances this property’s desirability. The location in the Vivary area of Taunton offers convenient access to local amenities, shops, schools, and the railway station. The proximity to highly-rated schools would greatly enhance this property’s family appeal. While precise square footage of the property’s plot isn’t available, the photos indicate sufficient space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The lack of nearby comparable properties with detailed price and sqft information makes an absolutely precise assessment of price per sqft difficult. The asking price, however, aligns reasonably well with other properties of comparable size and desirability in the area. Overall, the property represents a substantial offering with significant features and a good location. The extent of refurbishment, if any, would likely impact final pricing.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
