Situation
Copper Hill occupies probably one of the best positions in this sought after village. It enjoys an attractive elevated setting, standing at the foot of the Quantock hills, overlooking the parish church, located just off the village centre, away from passing traffic, yet within walking distance of all the amenities this thriving community provides. Kingston St Mary is one of the most sought after villages close to Taunton, offering an active community with many local clubs and organisations and amenities to include a highly regarded primary school, pub, village hall, playing field, church and garage. Kingston St Mary is a conservation village and is set on the lower slopes of the Quantock hills, which have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and they provide miles of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for those with walking and riding interests. Indeed, there are many footpaths leading directly from the village. The property offers the dual benefits of an attractive rural outlook, yet is only 4 miles from the centre of Taunton and about 3 miles from the main line railway station. The preparatory school of Kings Hall is less than a mile away and junction 25 of the M5 motorway is also readily accessible. Taunton the county town provides excellent shopping and leisure facilities, with a good range of school, both in the state and independent sector, including Kings and Queens Colleges and Taunton School. Both Bristol and Exeter airports are also readily accessible, providing regular flights to Europe and the usa.
