This exquisite one double-bedroom residence is set within a magnificent Grade II listed convent conversion, seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary living. This property is an ideal acquisition for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a distinctive home in a prime location.

Upon entering the development, residents are greeted by immaculately landscaped communal gardens, providing a tranquil oasis and a picturesque setting. The secure gated entrance ensures peace of mind, while the convenience of one allocated parking space, complemented by additional visitors' parking, addresses all practical needs.

Ascending to the top floor, the apartment itself is a testament to thoughtful design and comfortable living. The property boasts a well-proportioned living room, offering ample space for both living and dining, and a modern kitchen complete with ample storage. Large sash windows invite an abundance of natural light throughout the home, enhancing the sense of space and offering captivating, far-reaching views of the surrounding Taunton landscape.

In addition to the en-suite W.C., the apartment benefits from a separate, well-appointed main bathroom complete with bath with shower head attachment overhead.

One of the most compelling features of Annecy Court is the cloisters. A cloister is a covered walkway commonly found within religious buildings (such as monasteries, convents, and cathedrals) used by monks and clergy for quiet activities like walking, studying, meditating; and as passages between buildings like the refectory (dining hall) and dormitories. At Annecy Court, the cloisters surround a central communal garden.

Situated within walking distance to Taunton town centre, residents can effortlessly access a vibrant array of shops, restaurants, cafes, and cultural attractions. The convenience of urban amenities combined with the peaceful setting of a historic conversion truly offers the best of both worlds. Excellent transport links, including Taunton train station, are also easily accessible, making this an ideal base for commuters.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm and appeal of this remarkable residence!
