Jilly Goolden impresses house hunters in Somerset

Wine expert, Jilly Goolden, sampled a taste of quality during a recent visit to David Wilson Homes’ exciting Wilstock Village in North Petherton.

The TV personality hosted a wine tasting event at the development – whetting the palate of would-be buyers for both the wine and the selection of homes on offer.

Jilly, who presented BBC 2’s Food and Drink for 18 years, may have appeared on Celebrity Masterchef and I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, but she is best known for her abstract descriptions of wine tasting appreciation and wowed visitors with her expert knowledge.

“Jilly was a wonderful guest to have at Wilstock Village,’’ said David Wilson Homes sales director Russell Glimstead. “Having Jilly here was tremendous as she mingled with guests and gave everyone a real insight into appreciating wine.’’

Wilstock Village currently offers a selection of four and five bedroom homes in a quiet, traditional setting between the Quantock Hills and the River Parrett.

“The development offers the perfect balance between a peaceful retreat and easy access to local towns, cities and airports,” said Russell. “The homes themselves are of the highest quality – offering modern day living in a tranquil setting.”

Current availability includes the impressive four bedroom Bayswater design, from just £239,950; and the imposing five bedroom Moorecroft, Manning, Emerson and Maddoc designs, starting from £299,950.

“Our designers paid very special attention to style, comfort and quality when creating the homes here at Wilstock Village,” said Russell. “So it was only fitting to ask an expert as talented as Jilly Goolden to host an event to complement all that is offered at Wilstock Village.”

Wilstock Village is set within the thriving community of North Petherton, near Bridgwater – offering a country park and a new primary school for local families. The nearby towns of Bridgwater and Taunton offer excellent amenities and railway links.

The Quantock Hills has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers impressive heathland, forest and farmland scenery, ideal for nature lovers.
