This striking single-storey barn conversion sits in about 1.5 acres of private grounds in the Blackdown Hills, combining rural seclusion with easy access to Taunton and the M5 (about 5 miles). The house offers generous, characterful living spaces: a 30' kitchen/dining room with Rayburn, two triple-aspect reception rooms with wood-burning stoves and extensive countryside views, plus a courtyard garden with a southerly aspect and summer house.
Accommodation is flexible for family life. The main barn provides three large double bedrooms (principal with en suite) and a separate family bathroom; a detached former barn includes a guest suite with en suite shower, a double garage and two store rooms — offering clear potential to form an annexe or additional accommodation subject to planning consents. Ample parking, a tennis court and a pond add to the outdoor appeal.
The property is double glazed with oil-fired central heating (guest suite has electric heating). Notable positives include chain-free sale, large plot, well-presented interiors and striking rural outlooks. Practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow; heating is oil-fired; council tax is high; any conversion of the outbuilding would require the usual consents. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful home suited to families or buyers seeking rural space and scope to adapt outbuildings.
