Occupying a peaceful edge-of-Exmoor position, The Threshing Barn is a recently converted three-bedroom home that combines strong character with contemporary finishes. The vaulted open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the real heart of the house — exposed timber trusses, a fitted quartz kitchen and limestone floors create an impressive, light-filled principal reception. Underfloor heating and a fitted log burner add comfort and year-round appeal.
The layout works well for family life or weekend countryside stays: a ground-floor bedroom and family bathroom plus two first-floor bedrooms, including a master with en-suite. Built in 2023 and presented in good decorative order, the property benefits from generous plot proportions, a large slate patio and off-street parking on a gravelled forecourt.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the house uses bottled LPG for heating and the location has very slow broadband speeds and only average mobile signal — factors that may affect remote working or streaming. The setting is rural and relatively isolated, so local services are limited; nearby Rackenford Primary School is a short drive away.
Overall this is a characterful, ready-to-live-in barn conversion for buyers seeking rural privacy and high-spec interiors. It will suit families or countryside buyers who prioritise space, finish and seclusion over fast connectivity and immediate local amenities.
