Location

Jellalabad barracks were completed between 1879 and 1881 and were originally home to the Somerset Light Infantry, later becoming a depot and many recruits enlisted at the barracks in the 1st World War before the barracks later became home to the Royal Army Pay Corps. The barracks were converted into residential apartments during the 1990's and now provide a unique and impressive living environment in a wonderful tucked away location yet close to the town centre and delightful Vivary Park.

Taunton town centre, with its large range of shopping, leisure and dining amenities is within easy reach within a short walk as is Vivary Park. The Somerset county town of Taunton offers a mainline train station to Plymouth/Bristol (and the Paddington line to the capital). The larger cities of Bristol and Exeter are both within an hours drive or 40 minute train journey hosting international airports.
