There is good access to the M5 motorway with junctions at Wellington and Taunton and the latter provides a comprehensive range of facilities. Farmwood is tucked away on the slopes of the Blackdown Hills at the end of a long private track and enjoys complete seclusion, with no near neighbours. It enjoys a stunning setting, with woodland and a nature Wellington 4 miles, Taunton 5 miles, M5 (J26) 2 miles, Mainline Railway Station at Taunton reserve behind it and open distant views to the Quantock Hills. The land is an interesting mixture of landscaped garden, woodland, a large wildlife pond and grazing. The driveway sweeps into an extensive parking area with adjoining beds heavily stocked with shrubs. There is terracing at the front and at the rear where it adjoins the main area of landscaped garden with well stocked beds, gravel paths and natural stone walling. Two small streams run through the gardens and there is a stone store shed. The main area of woodland is a most attractive amenity with mature oak and ash trees and some hazel coppice. It is covered with bluebells in the spring and on the edge is a large wildlife pond. The pasture provides some useful grazing and there is a further area of hazel coppice. The front elevation of Farmwood is most attractive. It is partly rendered and partly stone faced and has three gables with a covered timber verandah at one end which is approached from the drawing room and takes full advantage of the lovely views.
Farmwood was originally a small bungalow which has been considerably improved and extended in recent years. It has been cleverly designed to provide extensive modernised accommodation where the principal rooms, the dining hall, drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room and master bedroom are all exceptionally well proportioned. There are many windows and pairs of glazed doors which create a very light property. The drawing room opens out onto the verandah and has an open fire. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views across the garden over an adjoining field and towards the woodland. It is very well fitted with granite worktops, a central island unit and a four oven oil-fired Aga cooker. The principal bedroom suite has an exceptionally large bedroom with a deep window bay recess, double doors leading out to the terrace and a spacious, stylishly fitted en-suite bathroom. All the bedrooms have ranges of built-in wardrobes. The reception rooms have recessed ceiling lights and there is an oil-fired central heating system. Double glazing is installed and the internal and external fully glazed doors are timber framed.
