DESCRIPTION A glorious stone barn conversion set in an idyllic position within the village. 'Manor Farm Barn' has been lovingly renovated by its current owners to create what is now a stylish and individual character home with a versatile and contemporary living arrangement perfect for a large family, with huge potential to create a self-contained annex on the ground floor, with its own private entrance (subject to planning). Manor Farm Barn was originally constructed in approximately 1831 and has undergone a multitude of uses over time before being sympathetically and meticulously converted in more recent times, to what is now a truly unique family home. Internally the property enjoys beautifully appointed, light and airy rooms throughout, with a pretty cottage garden and views towards the Mendip Hills. Approaching the Barn, you pass through wooden double gates that lead onto a neat, gravelled driveway, where there is enough parking for several cars and double doors that lead to the double garage. The generous garage has storage above and an internal door that leads you to a handy utility/cloakroom and continues onto a covered sun terrace. The front door takes you into an entrance porch with a cloakroom adjacent. The living room is a fantastic size and could easily be converted into two separate rooms if desired. It features a gorgeous rustic brick fireplace and oak beamed ceiling, with a stunning open galleried reception area with stairs rising to the first floor. The stylish kitchen/dining room is a superb feature of the house, with plenty of space for a large family sized dining table. There is a substantial range of modern shaker style wall and base units, finished in a soft grey colour palate, complimented by a smart marble counter top. A separate matching island unit offers additional work surfaces to cook with ease, along with added storage. Within the kitchen Bi-fold doors and a stable door allow the kitchen to flow effortlessly into the garden during those warm summer months. To the opposite side of the ground floor is a very handy home office that leads to a downstairs bedroom with two sets of double doors and an en-suite shower room (there is also potential here to create ancillary accommodation, subject to planning permission). Upstairs, the aforementioned galleried landing area creates a lovely vantage point over the ground floor and is a splendid feature of the house. If another bedroom is needed, the generous landing area could easily be adapted to create another double bedroom with just minor alterations. The master bedroom is a wonderful size and features a large en suite bathroom adjacent with a separate shower. Bedroom two has the quirky benefit of an internal stairs rising up to another room, which would be a great space for a home office or dressing room. Access to the loft is also located in the upper room and has even more potential to be converted into another additional room (again, subject to planning permission). Bedroom three is another double room and has double doors leading out onto a set of external steps descending to the ground floor. Outside, the property sits in a beautiful well tendered garden, which is visually stunning and packed with flowers, plants and trees. There are several areas to create seating spaces. and enjoy the sunshine and ambience throughout the day. A smart level lawn lies behind the house and is the perfect space to host summer parties and barbecues.
