A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional modern country home, combining luxury living, cutting-edge technology and some of the finest views Somerset has to offer. Council Tax band H, EPC rating B, Freehold
Situation
Pilcher House enjoys a peaceful and picturesque setting between the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, offering direct access to some of Somerset's most stunning countryside. Despite its rural position, Taunton is within easy reach for everyday amenities, while Bristol and London are readily accessible for commuters and those seeking wider cultural and commercial opportunities.
Description
Pilcher House represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional modern country home, combining luxury living, cutting-edge technology and some of the finest views Somerset has to offer. Constructed in 2023 by respected local developers Huntsworth Developments, Pilcher House is one of only five exclusive homes within this prestigious setting. The current owners have further enhanced the original specification in collaboration with a professional interior designer, creating a sophisticated contemporary home that blends elegant design with exceptional functionality.
Accommodation
A striking double-height entrance hall creates an impressive first impression and sets the tone for the quality found throughout the home. Large windows and carefully positioned living spaces ensure the remarkable views are showcased from virtually every room.
The heart of the property is a beautifully crafted bespoke kitchen featuring Silestone and Dekton worktops, premium cabinetry and a walk-in pantry with reactive glass detailing. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the space combines practicality with contemporary style.
Further accommodation includes flexible living areas, a ground-floor bedroom ideal for guests or multi-generational living, a practical boot room complete with warm-water shower facilities, and a dedicated first-floor laundry room featuring an energy-efficient drying cupboard.
The principal bedrooms benefit from frameless Juliet balconies that maximise the uninterrupted countryside views and strengthen the connection between the home and its surroundings.
Every aspect of the property has been carefully considered, from the handcrafted joinery by renowned specialists TreFurn to the bespoke lighting scheme designed by Brightbox. Natural Full Spectrum lighting has been installed throughout, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment by replicating natural daylight and reducing blue-light exposure.
A sophisticated Rako smart lighting system provides programmable lighting scenes throughout the ground floor, controllable via wall panels or smartphone app.
Connectivity is equally impressive, with full fibre broadband delivering speeds of up to 1Gb, supported by a whole-house mesh network and Starlink backup capability.
Outside
The landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding countryside while providing attractive and functional outdoor living spaces. Expansive patios offer ideal areas for entertaining, relaxing and taking in the breathtaking views, while lawned areas blend seamlessly into the wider landscape.
A detached double garage, generous private parking and an EV charging point complete the external amenities.
Services
Mains drainage, electricity, water. Air source heat pump and underfloor heating. Double garage with EV charging point. Please note the agents have not inspected or tested the services.
There is an annual management charge of £325 to maintain the communal areas.
