Millbarn is a substantial, characterful former barn converted into versatile family accommodation across three floors. The vaulted sitting room with exposed A-frames, mezzanine study and large open-plan kitchen/dining space create dramatic communal areas ideal for entertaining or multi-generational living. Set in about 2 acres with paddocks, stream and a triple garage, the site offers privacy, outdoor lifestyle and scope for livestock, equestrian or garden projects.
Practical positives include private driveway parking, a sizeable triple garage, mains services and oil-fired central heating. The property has been run successfully as a holiday/short-let business, demonstrating income potential, but also carries business rates of around £6,600 if used commercially. Schools, village amenities and access to the Quantock Hills are nearby while Taunton and the M5 remain reachable for commuting.
Buyers should note clear, material drawbacks: the EPC is Band F and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, which will give higher fuel costs and suggests retrofit work may be needed. The house is older (pre-1900) and constructed in granite/whinstone, so routine maintenance and sympathetic repairs are likely. Broadband speeds are average for the area; mobile signal is excellent. Council Tax sits in Band F and is described as expensive.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character property with considerable space and outdoor land — families wanting room to roam, buyers who value country living with income potential, or owner-occupiers ready to invest in energy improvements and ongoing maintenance.
