5 bedroom detached house

We are delighted to offer this exceptional, individual and versatile 5 bedroom detached family home with gardens, parking and garage and situated in a prime position within the ever popular village of Shepton Beauchamp.


A unique opportunity to acquire this five bedroom, detached barn conversion in the heart of one of South Somerset’s most desirable villages. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining/family room, bedroom/reception room, shower room with WC and sitting room to the ground floor and four bedrooms (two ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Washcross Barn has undergone an extensive and stunning redesign and upgrade by its current owners to provide the very best of contemporary living whilst still retaining all of its character and charm. The heart of the home is the magnificent, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. It has plenty of space for a large dining table and snug area, is noticeably well fitted and also has the luxury of a central island. Whether its family gatherings, socialising with friends or you simply love to cook, there are few better spaces in which to do so. The sitting room is a great setting to unwind throughout the seasons. In the winter months a central wood-burner provides practical heat and a lovely focal point and through the summer months, French doors lead directly onto the garden terrace, seamlessly uniting inside with out. The remaining reception room is a highly versatile space. In the first instance, it lends itself to being used as a fifth bedroom with the benefit of ensuite facilities. This will be of particular note for multi-generational purposes or those requiring single storey living. That said, it would also make an excellent additional sitting room, study, gym or play room – depending on one’s needs. The four bedrooms to the first floor are made up of three doubles and a single. The two largest doubles both have stunning ensuite facilities with the family bathroom servicing the remining bedrooms. The whole house is made even more impressive with a full height void from the ground floor to the first floor which attracts plenty of light as well as being an awe-inspiring feature of this home. Whether you are a family, retired or simply want idyllic village life, Washcross Barn must be seen.
