3 bedroom property with land for sale

Proposed Development Opportunity
Under the approved planning application 17/23/00093, a detached barn and a double garage are now authorised for construction on the grounds of The Barleys.

Please Note: The entrance driveway from Shipham Road is owned by the neighbouring property, with permitted access in place.

Nestled on the scenic hillside of Cheddar, The Barleys offers a rare and versatile property set within approximately 2.12 acres of gently sloping land, enjoying stunning panoramic views over open countryside and Cheddar Reservoir. This unique estate comprises a non-standard construction property with partial residential use, a collection of workshops, storage buildings, and outbuildings, and now benefits from granted planning permission (Sedgemoor 17/23/00093) for a detached barn and double garage with a store adjacent, creating exciting development potential.

The property currently offers practical living accommodation including:

Open-plan living room and kitchen area
Two well-proportioned bedrooms
Cloakroom and shower room
Two additional storage rooms
The outbuildings are a mix of timber and block construction, providing versatile space for workshops, storage, or ancillary use. The planning consent allows for the creation of a detached barn, ideal as a workshop, home office, studio, or ancillary accommodation (subject to further consents), alongside a double garage with a store adjacent.

Accessed via a gated gravel driveway, The Barleys combines privacy, tranquillity, and outstanding natural surroundings, while remaining within easy reach of Cheddar village amenities. The gently sloping land offers opportunities for gardens, landscaping, or equestrian use.
