We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This is an exceptional modern family home, designed to offer both impressive proportions and a highly practical layout, whilst also benefiting from a finish that goes far beyond the original specification.
The current owners have significantly remodelled and upgraded the house from the base 'Wayford' design, creating a beautifully appointed home with a strong sense of quality and a bespoke finish throughout.
The ground floor is particularly well balanced for modern family life.
An inviting entrance hall sets the tone and gives access to a generous living room, a separate study ideal for home working with beautiful views, and a well-proportioned family room offering flexibility as a snug, playroom or additional reception space.
To the rear, the completely bespoke designed kitchen/dining room provides an excellent everyday hub with plenty of room for dining and entertaining, complemented by a utility room and downstairs WC for added practicality.
George Loves - "The position is a real standout here.
Being on the edge of Orchard Grove and in an elevated spot gives this house a far more open feel than many modern homes, with the rural outlook adding a sense of space and privacy that is hard to find within a development setting.
Combined with the larger plot and the scale of the 'Wayford' design, it gives the property a genuinely premium feel." Upstairs, the scale continues with five good size bedrooms arranged around a central landing.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while a second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities, making the layout especially well-suited to large families, guests or even multi-generational living.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, giving the house the bathroom provision expected of a home of this calibre.
Owners Love - "What really comes across to us is how well this home works on a day-to-day basis.
There is plenty of space for family life, excellent bedroom accommodation upstairs, and plenty of practical touches including the utility room, double garage, EV charging point and solar panels.
We have have also invested heavily in upgrading the house, so it now has the feel of a turnkey home with all the comfort of a modern build and a much more luxurious finish." Outside, the property continues to impress with its notably good-sized plot, which is larger than average for the development and perfectly complements the scale of the house.
The double garage provides excellent parking, storage or workshop potential, while the inclusion of EV charging point and solar panels adds an important modern and energy-conscious element.
Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the flagship homes within Orchard Grove: a substantial and stylish five-bedroom detached house in a prime south Taunton setting, with upgraded accommodation, outstanding practicality and a superb edge-of-development outlook.
