Set on about half an acre with far-reaching Blackmore Vale views, The Barn House is a substantial four-bedroom detached home offering nearly 2,400 sq ft of living space and a handsome stone-built barn. The house sits privately in a hamlet setting with a long driveway, ample off-road parking and an orchard beyond the barn. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it well suited to modern working arrangements.
The property was built in 1976 and extended around 1980–81 and now requires modernisation throughout — presenting a strong opportunity to personalise the layout and finishes. There is clear scope to create an annex from part of the existing accommodation, subject to planning and building regulation consents. The generous plot, stone walls and the barn’s large timber beams are characterful selling points.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; drainage is to a private septic tank (awaiting compliance confirmation); and part of the house and garden lies within a conservation area. Council Tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive. The sale is chain-free, so the property is available for immediate purchase and improvement.
Convenient for Templecombe station and within driving distance of Sherborne, Wincanton and Yeovil, the location combines rural tranquillity with reasonable commuter links. The setting will suit a family seeking space and privacy, or buyers wanting a country home with renovation potential and an outbuilding that could be reused subject to consents.
