About this property
Located in a truly idyllic and peaceful country location, South Barn is set at the end of a very long private driveway that leads to a small enclave of just three homes. Converted in 2005, South Barn was originally in the curtilage of the adjacent farmhouse and occupies exceptionally generous and private grounds of 0.54 acres.

Double five bar gates open to the fully enclosed front garden with a sweeping driveway leading past a very smart detached annexe to a large forecourt with parking for numerous vehicles and a large timber garage for a further car or additional storage.

Main House
A sun trap terrace to the front leads directly into the open plan kitchen with four steps up to a lovely high vaulted sitting room. It is immediately apparent that much care and attention has been lavished on this barn and the original choice of materials used include stunning French oak roof trusses and beams complemented with wooden doors and architraves, natural wood flooring and hardwood double glazed windows. The kitchen is a relaxed and informal area for entertaining family and friends and is fitted with oak cabinets, a five burner Smeg range and a dishwasher. The sitting room features a contemporary Wham wood burning stove and a wrought iron spiral staircase leads up to a wonderful mezzanine seating area. A bedroom enjoying a good deal of morning sun lies directly off the mezzanine. In 2017 a superb fully glazed garden room was added to the rear elevation, running almost the full width of the property. With wide double doors this truly achieves the effect of drawing the outdoor space in, forming a perfect link to the substantial rear terrace which has a lovely vista towards exceptionally pretty landscaped gardens. The garden room is neatly divided into two parts with the largest area being used for entertaining and gym use and an off-set laundry room with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, a further sink and storage.
The main bedroom and well-appointed en-suite, with hand-crafted, built-in oak wardrobes, and a further bedroom/ study are quietly situated at the far end of the property. A separate family bathroom has a free standing roll top bath with ball and claw feet.

Annexe
This beautifully converted building offers lovely flexible two/three bedroom accommodation with a natural slate tiled entrance hallway and bespoke oak staircase with galleried landing. In addition to the two double bedrooms on the ground floor is a very smart shower room with a cupboard housing the Worcester gas fired central heating boiler. At the first floor there are two further rooms, currently used as a sitting room with electric burner and large useful eaves storage and an adjacent study with views across the adjoining fields. This superb modern conversion from the old stable block offers multiple uses perhaps for a dependant relative or as guest accommodation. The annexe has propane fueled gas central heating.

The gardens are an exceptional feature of this outstanding property and have been created to combine wonderful areas for entertaining in addition to more intimate, restful areas for quiet contemplation. The gateway from the terrace leads to a gently rising area of lawn bordered by breathtakingly beautiful deep borders interspersed with shale pathways. A gently cascading water feature adds enormously to the sense of tranquility and at the top of garden a further area of lawn adjoins the open countryside beyond and reveals a wonderful , large semi-circular stone seating area from which to enjoy the evening sun and take in the views of the countryside. A summer house is the ideal spot from which to take in the magnificent views across to the Cheddar Gorge. The Gorge and Cheddar village is a short walk away across the fields directly from the back garden. A sheltered and discreet area to one side of the garden boasts bespoke decking and currently houses a jet swimming pool which in addition to the hot tub on the rear terrace, may be available by separate negotiation.
A useful potting shed with greenhouse area sits next to a well screened oil tank which fuels the central heating for the principal barn.

Offered with no onward chain.
