Gatchell Oaks in Taunton is a complex of 44 apartments and cottages standing in the mature and private grounds of a beautiful Georgian House. Gatchell Oaks is set well back from the village road and is surrounded by walled and hedged gardens and a wonderful range of mature shrubs and trees. The grounds enjoy delightful views across the vale of Taunton towards the Quantock Hills. It's conveniently positioned close to the centre of the popular and picturesque village of Trull with its thriving community and many clubs, organisations and amenities including village store, post office, garage, inn, village hall, primary school and fine parish church.
Owners can enjoy the grounds of Gatchell Oaks and the communal meeting rooms and facilities on the ground floor of Gatchell House. Each property has the benefit of an allocated parking space, together with guest parking facilities. There is also a serviced flat available for guests to stay whilst visiting relatives or friends. Gatchell Oaks has a dedicated manager on site who works closely with the residents associations. Additional care, services and facilities can be provided at an extra cost.

Communal areas include the sole use of a lounge, dining room, kitchen, toilet facilities within the original Georgian house. All communal areas are access friendly. There are regular weekly activities including art, board games, all-denomination communion, bingo and coffee mornings as well as one-off barbeques, suppers and trips outside Gatchell Oaks (organised by the residents' association). We have a visiting car wash service, chiropodist and hairdresser. We also employ our own support staff to assist with domestic tasks and shopping if required.
We are located on the favoured south side of the county town of Taunton, set in a peaceful semi-rural location but integral to the local village of Trull, which has a thriving and active community. Gatchell Oaks itself is set within large tended gardens and grounds with far-reaching views across to the Quantock Hills. There is a bus service, local convenience store, school, post office and delicatessen, as well as a charming pub, active church and community halls. The location is ideally situated for outdoor pursuits and for exploring Somerset, Devon and further afield.

Having worked in care for almost 30 years I have progressed from working as a carer to qualified nurse and then into care home management.
I enjoy walks in the country side, astronomy, bird watching but most of all my family.
