Set in a peaceful valley near Wincanton, this converted stone barn offers spacious family living across two storeys and just under an acre of gardens and pasture. The heart of the house is a large open-plan farmhouse kitchen and dining area, accompanied by separate utility and ground-floor WC, plus a striking two-storey glazed entrance that brings light into the central circulation spaces.
The property is energy-enhanced with a ground source heat pump and solar panels, supporting lower running costs for parts of the year. It retains strong period character—stone elevations, exposed beams and a large sitting room with a stone fireplace—while providing versatile accommodation: five bedrooms and multiple reception rooms suit growing families or those wanting space for home working and hobbies.
Buyers should note some practical points: main heating is oil-fired boiler with radiators, the EPC is D, and double glazing installation dates are unknown. Council tax is described as expensive. The house appears well cared for but, given its age and mixed services, it may need updating in places and buyers should allow for routine maintenance and potential modernisation to fully realise its potential.
This home is best for families seeking tranquil country living within easy reach of reputable schools and nearby towns. The very large plot offers scope for gardening, small-scale paddock use or landscaping; it also provides privacy and open rural views to the rear.
