Welcome to Chestnut Lodge, a stunning one bedroom lodge in the county town of Taunton. Access is via the owner’s imposing Victorian sunroom/lobby area, and along the side of the professionally maintained garden, under the wisteria and honeysuckle clad pergola. Step through the gated archway and you have your own fully enclosed private garden space with patio area, garden furniture, a lawned area as well as a secluded sun deck to the side. Inside has been finished to an exceptionally high standard, with fabulous furnishing and statement lighting throughout. Entering through the front door you have a large, open plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a comfortable sofa and chair as well as a smart TV with access to Netflix (own account required) and dining table, perfect for two. The large kitchen space has a wonderful breakfast bar as well as plenty of worktop space for cooking and is fully equipped with gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and fridge with ice box. Off the lounge is the large bedroom with king size bed and smart TV for those relaxing lazy mornings! Mirrored furniture and signature lighting gives a modern art deco feel to the room which extends into the large en-suite with gorgeous double sinks and large walk-in shower, again with signature lighting. Please note: The only bathroom in this property is en-suite Please note, the bathroom is accessed from both the bedroom and the lounge.
Just a 15 minute walk takes you to the centre of Taunton, with its many shops, bars and restaurants, county cricket ground, Victorian landscaped park and county museum, you will be spoilt for choice! Jump in the car to explore the Quantock or Blackdown Hills, Exmoor National Park and the north or south Somerset coastline, such as Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, or Minehead. Many National Trust properties, cider farms, farm shops and visitor attractions are within easy reach for a day out exploring Somerset, Devon or Dorset and the bustling cities of Bristol and Exeter are within one hour’s drive.

Superb
What a great stay! Property itself was perfect. Peaceful, comfortable, well-equipped, clean, private. Attention to detail, with a decent coffee machine, great shower and fluffy towels. Pretty little secluded garden - perfect for eating outside with a nice glass of wine when the weather plays ball. Lovely area, easy walk/bike ride into Taunton town centre, which was in itself very nice (thoroughly recommend Tumeric Kitchen Indian Restaurant 😋). However we didnt feel the need to go out all the time because the apartment was just so condusive to chilling out. Great communication with the host Martin; very quick to respond to queries but not intrusive. Gave us ideas for exploring the area/good places to eat and drink and even managed to get his hands on last minute Noel Gallagher tickets for us.
