Approximately 1.5 acres of south‑west facing gardens and orchard
Set on about 1.5 acres in the pretty village of Batcombe, this substantial five‑bedroom barn conversion combines generous living space with pictured rural charm. The main house centres on a large glazed kitchen/dining/family room with island, wood-burning stoves and two further reception rooms — ideal for family living and entertaining. A self-contained one‑bed annexe with wet-room and kitchenette offers flexible accommodation for guests, extended family or rental income.
The gardens are a standout: a south‑west facing lawn, gravel terrace for outdoor dining, orchard and mature copse backing onto the striking 14th‑century church. Detached garage and outbuildings provide storage and potential for a home office or gym. There is parking for several cars on the driveway and the property presents as a finished, bespoke conversion throughout.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, EPC is C, broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is high (Band G). The location suits drivers and those seeking rural tranquillity; the nearest mainline stations and A303 are a drive away. Buyers should verify services, measurements and tenure with their advisers.
This home will particularly suit families seeking space, garden privacy and a village setting with good independent schooling nearby, or those wanting an established country base with annexe flexibility. The combination of character stonework, large rooms and substantial grounds creates rare scope for countryside living close to Bruton and Shepton Mallet.
