Bottom Barn is a historic barn, which was originally part of Barrow House Farm, having been a range of stone barns on the fringe of the original working yard. Converted in 1997, with the barn believed to be circa 100 years old, the accommodation is spacious and offers flexibility and potentially even suitable for multi-generational living. Entered from the front garden with a bright and airy porch and into the heart of the home, a large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with a high ceiling, including a Rayburn, central island with granite work surfaces and Belfast sink. An attractive tiled floor continues on into a generous size utility room at the rear, which leads out into the rear garden. The dining room sits off the kitchen and offers ample space for a large dining table and is flooded with natural light through the large double-aspect windows. The sitting room sits alongside the kitchen and again is a lovely light space with beamed ceiling and a feature fireplace with fitted stove. A conservatory sits to the front of the property, enjoying views to the surrounding countryside and giving access to the front garden area. Set along the main inner hallway are four bedrooms, with the master being a wonderful open room, looking out into the rear garden and completed with its own ensuite. A shower room and large principal family bathroom with a bath and separate shower, serve the remaining three bedrooms.

The village of Panborough lies approximately 5 miles to the west of The Cathedral City of Wells and a very short drive from the Saxon Village of Wedmore. It is also set between Glastonbury and Cheddar. Wedmore offers a fine range of village amenities to include a variety of interesting shops, together with most day to day needs associated with a larger town. The Cathedral City of Wells is well known for its architectural appeal and excellent educational establishments, both state and private. There are good road links to the M5 and to Bristol Airport along the A38, with Bristol and Bath also commutable. Clarks Village is a 20 minute drive to the south and a direct rail link to London from Highbridge and Burnham Train Station is 11 miles away. There is excellent and highly regarded state and private schooling at levels available, including Millfield Senior and Prep Schools, Wells Cathedral School, and The Blue School.

Set well back from Wells road the property is accessed over an initial section of shared driveway with the other properties on the complex. Gated access then leads into Bottom Barn and provides both a working and day to day vehicular access way. The front and rear gardens are laid to lawn with established seasonal shrubs, interspersed with seating and entertaining areas. The rear garden features a carp pond. Beyond the garden Bottom Barn offers a ready-made lifestyle setup, with a range of useful barns ideal as kennels or aviaries as used by previous owners. Set within the initial drive area is a double garage and block store, plus a range of sheds and field shelters for livestock. Level grazing extends around the east and south boundary. A productive and fenced, large vegetable garden borders the fantastic feature of Barrow Hill, along with a levelled area currently sited with chicken runs and houses. A substantial block barn runs alongside one of the paddocks, providing useful storage and dry shelter for smaller livestock. Barrow Hill is a glorious asset to complete the setup, rumoured to have been part of the network of similar mounds running towards Glastonbury and having been used for vines by monks for many years. The views from the top are simply stunning and it is rare to be able to see a 360 degree as a panoramic view to enjoy. The gardens and grounds in all extend to 11.33 acres (including barrow Hill).
