NO ONWARD CHAIN. Our team at GTH are incredibly honoured to market this remarkable 3 bedroom detached home with additional 3 bedroom detached barn, south facing gardens approaching two thirds of an acre and situated in an exclusive setting in one of South Somerset’s most renowned and sought after villages.


We are honoured to market this wonderful, Grade II Listed, three bedroom property with additional three bedroom barn conversion, situated in a generous plot of circa two thirds of an acre in one of South Somerset’s most exclusive and favoured villages.
The House
The property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room and utility to the ground floor with three bedrooms, WC and family bathroom to the first floor. Thought to be the oldest residence within the village of Barrington, Ellands Cottage is steeped in history and is offered for sale for the first time in 26 years, testament to what a tremendous home it has been. The dual aspect sitting room is light and airy and also has the advantage of an open fire-place making it the ideal space to unwind throughout the seasons. The dining room is utterly gorgeous and for those who enjoy entertaining, it’s the perfect setting for dinner parties and hosting family and friends. Those working from home will note there is a designated study which could also be utilised as a further bedroom or hobby room depending on one’s needs. The well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear of the property and benefits from views and access to the gardens whilst the utility and shower room make up the more functional elements to the cottage. To the first floor, the three bedrooms are all serviced by the family bathroom and separate WC and are made up of two doubles and a single. Although now in need of general updating, its footprint provides the perfect blank canvas for those looking to create their dream country home. It still retains a wealth of original features and more than that, is the most charming and welcoming of residences. Both its beautiful grounds and idyllic village setting mean Ellands Cottage will appeal to families and those looking for their forever home.
The Barn
Renovated by the most recent owners of Ellands Cottage is The Barn, a stunning and cleverly designed detached, three bedroom ‘annexe’. The accommodation comprises a kitchen/living room, WC, bedroom and wine cellar to the ground floor with two bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Originally designed as overflow accommodation for guests, it would also work tremendously well for those looking at multi-generational living and/or income potential as a holiday let. The interior is nothing short of breath-taking, particularly the kitchen/living room which has a part-vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is one bedroom to the ground floor and a further two to each ‘wing’ of the barn, one of which has the luxury of its own ensuite. To find ancillary accommodation of this size, quality and character are a rarity and we expect this to be of particular note to any discerning buyer.

Barrington is one of South Somerset’s most favoured conservation villages and boasts an enviable position with easy access to excellent road links via the A303 and A358. The National Trust’s Barrington Court lies close to the village and is considered within walking distance whilst those with dogs and those who enjoy walking will find plenty of footpaths explore. The Barrington Boar is a very popular pub with rooms and excellent food and is just a short walk from the property whilst the Village Hall is a hive of activity and offers something for everyone to enjoy.

The property is approached by a private, gated driveway to the right and a driveway leading to off-road parking for multiple cars on the left. The mainly south-facing grounds approach two thirds of an acre and are laid to sweeping lawns and patio and further complemented by trees, mature shrubs and colourful flora. It’s a romantic and tranquil setting for alfresco dining, sitting out in the warmer months and child’s play. Viewings strongly recommended to fully appreciate the location and space.
