Fivehead gives us all the benefits of village life, yet Taunton is easily accessible for a wider choice of shops, entertainment and its excellent mainline railway service and access to M5 motorway. The village itself has a great deal to offer. There are plenty of open spaces and countryside walks, which is particularly lovely if you have a dog, while the village shop is extremely useful, well stocked and open for long hours. The Crown is an excellent village pub serving a wide variety of food, and there is always something going on, from quiz nights and the skittles league to other local events. There is also a bus service into Taunton, with a convenient stop at the top of Ganges Hill.Fivehead is a quiet village with a very strong sense of community. There is a church and Baptist chapel, both holding regular services, while the village hall and playing field are just a short walk away and form a real hub for village life. They host the annual pantomime, village fete and revue, together with short mat bowls, fitness activities and football most weekends. There is also a golf society, drama society and regular village magazine.For us, one of the most memorable aspects of Bramley House is the outlook. Its elevated position gives wonderful far-reaching views, and from the balcony off our bedroom you can see for miles across the surrounding countryside. It is a lovely place to sit and appreciate just how peaceful and special the setting is.What we will remember most is the combination of those views, the tranquillity and the genuine community spirit of Fivehead. It has given us the best of both worlds peaceful village living with everything we need within easy reachSTEP INSIDEOn the ground floor, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the outlook.
