5 bedroom village house

West Barton House is a very attractive family home set in 2.4 acres of its own land in the sought after village of Catcott. The property has the added appeal of excellent transport links, access to the M5 motorway is just a 10-minute drive, with rail links to London from Taunton just 30 minutes away. Bristol airport is accessible in 45 minutes and Millfield School, 20 minutes by car. With its origins in the Victorian era, this unique property provides a quintessentially English village location in a house that effortlessly combines style and charm and reflects the much-loved family home that is has been. There are many traditional features with the very useful, more recent addition, of a two bedroomed annex, which the current owners have successfully let. The annex would also be ideal for a dependent relative or young adult children as it is separate from the main house and enjoys its own access but also has access available from the ground floor of the house.

As is traditional with a country residence, the current owners usually use the back door but the south facing front entrance is charming, with a red-brick and glazed entrance porch leading to the main front door. The reception hall welcomes with original flagstone flooring and a sunny décor; providing access to the drawing room off to the right and dining room to the left. The drawing room is very well appointed being double aspect and with an impressive stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove for cosy winter evenings. There is plenty of room for three sofas around the fire and there is access from here into the adjoining annex. A traditional dining room looks out over the pretty front garden and creates an elegant space to enjoy entertaining family and friends, exposed wooden floorboards and fireplace to warm winter guests complete this lovely room. From the rear hallway a doorway leads into the light and airy galley style kitchen that overlooks the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen and providing for the practicalities there is a utility room incorporating a downstairs WC and a multi-use parlour room provides the perfect spot for casual dining and as a secondary sitting room. A wood burning stove keeps this area cosy and there is easy access to the garden at the rear. Finishing the ground floor is a lovely matching conservatory that has access to the front garden, perfect for overwintering tender plants and enjoying a cup of coffee and having a break overlooking the wonderfully stocked borders. Stairs from the hallway rise to a light and spacious landing with windows overlooking the front garden and out over the rear garden and paddocks. From here three double bedrooms lead off, the main double has an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom with separate shower serves the other two rooms.

A self-contained flexible use annex can be accessed from the ground floor via the drawing room and provides a very light and pleasant kitchen/dining room and sitting room with stairs rising to two further bedrooms and shower room. There are doors from the sitting room onto the front garden and access into the kitchen at the rear.

Outside
At the main entrance ample parking for multiple vehicles on the driveway lies adjacent to a large, detached garage which opens into the workshop, whilst a pedestrian gate from the lane joins a pathway to the front entrance door. This charming approach to the house is bordered by well-stocked herbaceous beds that have been cleverly planted to ebb and flow with the seasons. Additionally with well-established trees including the red-berried cotoneaster punctuating the scheme, the front garden is a delight. The rear garden has been equally well considered with a kitchen garden area within easy reach for use while cooking and further stunning planting. The rear is divided into separate areas providing al fresco dining on the secluded terrace area with evergreen hedging and planting screening the heated swimming pool which is enclosed within its own fenced area. Secure level paddocks with water supply lie at the end of the rear garden where two loose boxes and a tack room are conveniently placed and there is a useful store and studio.

Situation
Catcott is a quiet and safe community that offers a primary school, a 13c church and two good pubs, the King William Inne and the Crown, both within walking distance. Polden Medical Practice is the local surgery for 9,000 patients, in Edington, 3 minutes drive from Dial House. The local shop in Edington sells everything from lemons to lawnmowers!
