Tucked away in an idyllic rural setting, just a stone"s throw from open fields and the rolling South Somerset countryside, this exceptional three-bedroom stone-built barn conversion effortlessly combines character, craftsmanship, and contemporary living. Originally converted in 2005 and thoughtfully enhanced in 2012, the property has evolved into a refined and stylish home where high-quality natural materials and meticulous attention to detail are evident throughout.
The heart of the home is an impressive 23ft dual-aspect lounge, exposed Oak ceiling beams and rich Oak flooring create warmth and texture, beautifully complemented by decorative feature windows that frame the entrance hall. A wood-burning stove forms a charming focal point, lending a cosy and inviting atmosphere ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
The bespoke kitchen has been designed with both practicality and aesthetics in mind, offering an extensive range of shaker-style wall, base, and display units, all set beneath elegant granite worktops. A traditional Belfast sink enhances the timeless feel, while integrated appliances and space for a Range cooker ensure modern convenience. Above, a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed Oak beams and twin skylights floods the space with natural light, while a wooden double glazed door opens seamlessly onto the garden.
Versatility is a key feature of this home. A second reception room, currently used as a study/office, could easily serve as a ground floor bedroom if required. This is complemented by a separate utility room and a contemporary ground floor shower room, providing flexible living arrangements. Underfloor heating is fitted throughout the ground floor.
An impressive Oak staircase rises to the first floor, where the sense of quality continues. The principal bedroom is a generous double with Oak flooring and direct access to a private balcony overlooking the gardens, accompanied by a sleek en suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from Oak flooring, built-in storage, and balcony access, while bedroom three is another well-proportioned double. A stylish family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside, the landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to offer both beauty and functionality. Lawned areas are framed by low-level walling and raised planters, while a covered decked area with a hot tub provides a perfect retreat. A paved patio offers ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the rear, a substantial wooden log cabin/office with light and power presents an ideal space for a home office or leisure use.
Practicality is equally well catered for, with a gate leading to a generous parking area continuing to a double garage, complete with twin wooden double doors, power, lighting, and a useful mezzanine for additional storage.
This individual barn conversion stands as a superb example of modern rural living, finished to an exceptional standard and offering a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside tranquillity without compromising on style or comfort.
