DIRECTIONS From the centre of Taunton, proceed through the village of Monkton Heathfield and turn left signposted towards West Monkton. Proceed into the village and go past the Italian restaurant and bear left at the grass triangle and proceed towards Noah's Hill. After a short distance the drive can be found on the right-hand side. Our advice is to continue up the hill and turn around in the parking area, go back down the lane which makes the access up the drive to the property easier. Proceed to the very top of the hill bearing left where the property can be identified after a short distance.
