Set on about 2.12 acres on the Cheddar hillside, The Barleys is a rare development and lifestyle opportunity with sweeping panoramic views over open countryside and Cheddar Reservoir. The plot benefits from granted planning permission (Sedgemoor 17/23/00093) for a detached barn and double garage with adjacent store, creating obvious scope for workshop, studio, ancillary accommodation or further conversion subject to consents.
The site includes a small, non-standard construction dwelling (three bedrooms, two bathrooms) plus a cluster of mixed timber and block outbuildings providing versatile workshop and storage space. Mains water and power are connected; drainage is a combination of mains and private systems. The gently sloping paddock and mature boundaries suit landscaping, equestrian use or garden expansion.
Important practical points: the entrance driveway across Shipham Road is owned by a neighbouring property with permitted access in place — purchasers should confirm the access arrangements. The existing buildings are in modest condition, with partial insulation, electric room heaters, and EPC ratings of G for the main building and F for the annexe, so refurbishment or thermal upgrades will be required. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect some home-working scenarios.
Overall this holding will appeal to buyers seeking a countryside plot with development upside and strong landscape amenity. Valuation should reflect land value and improvement potential rather than the internal accommodation as presented.
