Summary - ORCHARD VIEW, FARRINGDON, NORTH PETHERTON TA6 6PF
Ground-floor living throughout with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams
Orchard View is a carefully crafted 4-bedroom barn conversion set in an exceptionally private rural spot, built by a respected local builder for their own family. All principal living is on the ground floor, with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams creating a bright, airy home that balances character and modern comfort.
The property sits within about 1.6 acres of paddock plus roughly half an acre of landscaped gardens. A generous open-plan kitchen/living space with hardwood bifold doors frames wide countryside views; outdoor dining terraces, a dedicated outdoor kitchen, and a hot-tub area make the gardens ideal for family life and entertaining. Parking is generous with a sweeping driveway, double wooden carport, and an adjacent workshop with power and water.
Energy efficiency is a clear strength: photovoltaic panels on a favourable tariff, battery storage and an air source heat pump contribute to low running costs and currently generate approximately £4,000 per year. Heating is underfloor with zoned controls. Practicalities to note include very slow broadband speeds, an annual management charge of £750 for shared services, and an expensive local council tax band.
The paddock is accessed from the driveway and via a neighbouring orchard; a neighbouring property has a vehicular right of way across part of the paddock. The setting is peaceful yet accessible by the nearby A38, offering straightforward links to Taunton, Bridgwater and local schools. Buyers wanting spacious, energy-efficient rural living with equestrian or recreational paddock potential will find this a compelling proposition, provided they accept limited broadband availability and ongoing management costs.
