High-spec new-build barn with views, large plot and planning permission for a double garage.
4 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms, approx. 2,850 sq ft
A striking newly built Dutch-barn set in open Somerset countryside, Bramley Barn combines dramatic modern design with high-spec, energy-efficient systems. The flipped layout places four double bedrooms on the ground floor and a full-length, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room on the first floor, enjoying far-reaching rural views and a generous balcony. Top-spec finishes include Miele appliances, oak flooring, quartz worktops, Vado sanitaryware, underfloor heating and an air source heat pump; the property comes with a 10-year Global Home Warranty.
The house sits centrally within about a third of an acre of landscaped gardens with formal lawns, raised beds and newly planted native hedging, and there is a large gravel parking area with scope for a garage — planning permission for a double garage has been granted. Practical systems include a water treatment plant and a plant/utility room, making the home suitable for rural living while keeping running costs lower than many comparable new builds.
Useful nearby facilities include good road links (A303/A37) and Castle Cary rail station, plus a range of independent and state schools within easy drive. The hamlet location brings privacy, countryside walks and wildlife viewing but also means more limited local services; mobile signal and measured broadband speeds are reported as limited.
This house will suit buyers wanting an individual, low-maintenance new build with generous internal space and outdoor privacy. Note the living area is on the first floor (accessed by a bespoke steel and oak staircase), which may not suit anyone needing single-level living. Overall, a high-spec, energy-efficient home in a peaceful rural setting with planning in place for additional covered parking.
