SITUATION - What we love.

Barford Close enjoys an enviable and wonderfully secluded setting, approached via a private drive within the highly desirable Quantock village of Spaxton. Nestled in the foothills of the Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is surrounded by unspoilt countryside with beautiful rolling landscapes and far-reaching views.

The village has a community shop and post office, together with a church, village hall and primary school, whilst the surrounding countryside provides an exceptional setting for those who enjoy walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.

The Quantock Hills are quite literally on the doorstep, with a wonderful network of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes leading into some of Somerset's most beautiful landscapes.

Despite its rural setting, Spaxton is conveniently placed for access to the nearby towns of Bridgwater and Taunton. Bridgwater lies approximately 4 miles to the east and provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and commercial facilities, whilst the county town of Taunton, approximately 7 miles away, offers a wider choice of independent and national retailers, restaurants, cafés, cultural facilities and recreational amenities.

The area is well regarded for its excellent educational provision, with a primary school in Spaxton, well-regarded secondary schools nearby and a choice of highly respected independent schools in Taunton, making it a popular choice for families.

For commuters, the M5 motorway is readily accessible at Bridgwater, with Junctions 23 and 24 providing convenient access to Exeter, Bristol and beyond. Taunton's mainline railway station offers regular direct services to London Paddington, with journey times of under two hours, whilst Exeter and Bristol are also within straightforward travelling distance.
