Set within circa four acres of gardens and paddock, The Old Stables is a single‑storey barn conversion offering generous, flexible living with far‑reaching views to Alfred’s Tower and Glastonbury Tor. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/dining room with pantry and utility, plus a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace. Three double bedrooms, an en‑suite, and a study/occasional fourth bedroom provide comfortable family accommodation all on one level.
A major asset is the extensive attached garaging and outbuildings — three linked stone garages with insulated floors and services, and a large wooden barn — which present straightforward scope to convert into an annexe, studio or additional living space (subject to any consents). The plot is planted with a variety of mature and specimen trees and is well laid out with both a paved terrace and wide lawns, offering privacy and considerable outdoor opportunity.
Buyers should note material facts: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, council tax is high (Band F), and the property is of traditional stone construction with assumed lack of wall insulation in places. There is a small Wales & West Utilities-owned regulator plot and established access/maintenance rights between neighbours, plus an historic footpath running near the eastern boundary. These legal and service details are clarified in the seller’s deeds and should be reviewed by purchasers.
This property will suit buyers seeking a significant rural home with land — families wanting single‑storey living, those needing space for vehicles or hobbies, or purchasers seeking conversion potential. Good road links to the M5 and the Castle Cary mainline (approx. 8.7 miles) plus proximity to Millfield School make the location practical as well as picturesque.
