The county town of Taunton and the cathedral city of Exeter are both within an easy drive and offer a greater range of shops, amenities, sixth form Colleges and Exeter University. The M5 motorway is easily accessible at junctions 26 and 27 and mainline rail stations at Tiverton Parkway and Taunton having regular services to London Paddington.
DESCRIPTION
Believed to date from the 17th century, Appley Court Farm comprises a Grade II listed Somerset longhouse and an attached converted former cider house, providing an extensive and attractive family home. The former cider house is currently incorporated as part of the main accommodation, although it easily lends itself to be a self-contained two bedroom annexe. The property offers a wealth of character, including large inglenook fireplaces, exposed ceiling timbers and original plank and muntin screen with further exposed wall timbers and leaded light windows.
Outside are attractive gardens to the front and to the rear a large yard area with useful outbuildings, including former wagon barn which has been converted into a one bed holiday let and a substantial and versatile modern agricultural building, both lending themselves to potential income.
