Bull Barn is a well‑proportioned, detached barn conversion set in a secluded hamlet just over a mile from Ilminster. The house sits within grounds approaching an acre, with a large lawn, paddock, mature planting and a private patio — ideal for family life, gardening or hobby livestock.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, WC, dual-aspect sitting room with brick fireplace and wood-burner, dining room and a cottage‑style kitchen on the ground floor, with three generous first‑floor bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom. The principal rooms feel light and spacious for the property’s age, and the master has built‑in wardrobes and an ensuite.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house has oil‑fired boiler and radiators, double glazing (fitted post‑2002) and stone walls that are likely uninsulated. There is off‑road parking and a garage, but buyers should note the property dates from before 1900 and has a medium flooding risk for the area. These factors affect running costs and any future renovation planning.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a private, characterful home on an unusually large plot close to local amenities and good schools. It will suit families, keen gardeners or buyers seeking a peaceful rural base with easy access to Ilminster and nearby towns. Some updating or insulation work would further enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
