Rainbow View

About this property

Churchinford 2.4 miles. Nestled in the heart of Somerset in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Rainbow View, which lies within six acres of private grounds in the rural parish of Churchstanton. This idyllic, cosy abode benefits from a fantastic location overlooking the breath-taking, open countryside. There is private parking for two cars and two beautifully-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for families, couples or friends looking to explore the wonders of Somerset with their beloved canine companion. The property boasts a fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family or pamper your partner with a romantic meal for two. Dine together in either the kitchen or around the stylish large table in the open-plan dining/living room, and raise a toast to your getaway ahead of snuggling up on the plush corner sofa and flicking on the Smart TV to select a film for the evening. In the warmer months enjoy the south-facing aspect of the property on the private terrace, or take a stroll around the grounds. When the sky darkens, find the sleek shower room, and wash off the day’s adventures before choosing between the super-king-size bed or the king-size to drift off to sleep in. If you are a keen horse rider, why not bring your four legged friend with you; the stables, grazing, and the use of the large ménage can be arranged separately. If you can tear yourself away from your new home-from-home, venture into Churchinford where you can stock up on all the essentials for your self-catered stay or enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen at The York Inn, which serves a variety of delicious food. Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda are all located in the nearby towns of Wellington and Taunton, and will deliver to the property. Rainbow View lies in the heart of the breath-taking Blackdown Hills where keen ramblers can roam the picturesque landscape with routes including the Valleyheads Way and Staple Hill/Neroche Forest, where there are dedicated routes for cycling and multiple horse riding circuits! If you don’t fancy getting in the car, take a stroll up the lane to the 14th century Church of Churchstanton, passing the local outdoor reared piglets along the way, or set off along the footpath from Rainbow View and enjoy walks through fields, woodland, and pretty dells. Be sure to explore the heritage woven throughout the area such as the striking Wellington Monument, the unique Culmstock Beacon and the fascinating Dunkeswell Abbey which was founded in 1201. Take a scenic drive to the county town of Somerset, Taunton, where you can immerse yourself in the past at the Museum of Somerset or take to the River Tone with kayaks and paddle boards from French Weir Park. Also a short drive away is the breathtaking Jurassic coast; enjoy fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, let the kids enjoy the sand at Charcombe, or take to the South West Coast Path for stunning walks. All this and more awaits at Rainbow View.

Devon's Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to the picturesque village of Churchinford. This friendly village has a great location for hikers and cyclists, as it is only nine and a half miles from Taunton, the main city in the neighbouring county. In addition to a post office, a general store, a pub, and the Churchinford Community Hall, the village also has a few more amenities. An enjoyable day may be had by visiting Otterhead Lakes, a well-maintained nature reserve that provides a safe haven for the local flora and fauna; visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls through the preserve while taking in the picturesque vistas of the lake. Taunton is a great place to take the family because it has much to do for people of all ages. There are many parks, a riverwalk along the Tone, and great restaurants and bars.
