SituationHele Mount occupies a prominent position in a private location

surrounded by its own land. The property is set within the wonderful

lush Somerset countryside of the Taunton Vale between the

Quantock Hills and the Blackdown Hills both Areas of Outstanding

Natural Beauty (AONB).

Taunton (4 miles) and Wellington (5 miles) are both within easy reach

and have a very wide range of shops and restaurants as well as

good recreational and business facilities. There are two farm shops

within easy reach of the property and a Waitrose in Wellington.

Communication links are excellent with the A38 and M5 motorway

at J26 being within 6 miles. Exeter is within easy reach to the south,

about 30 miles away, and Bristol 55 miles away.

Direct rail services operate from Taunton to London Paddington with

the fastest train taking about 1 hour 45 minutes. There are also a

growing number of flights to UK and international destinations from

both Bristol and Exeter Airport. There is also a new direct route to

London City Airport from Exeter on a twice daily basis.

The area is very well serviced for schools. In Taunton there is Kings

Hall Preparatory School, Kings, Queens and Taunton School. There

is also Wellington school in Wellington and Blundells School at

Tiverton. Millfield School and Sherborne School are both within an

hour’s drive.

For the sporting and recreational enthusiast the property is superbly

located to take full advantage of the many vast open areas that the

Quantock and Blackdown Hills have to offer together with all the

sporting facilities in the area such as shooting, fishing and riding.
