6 bedroom house

Combining the charm and beauty of a character country residence with bespoke artisan finish, comfort and style, Highbury Barn and Highbury Cottage share one exceptional, tranquil plot of .84 acre, with far-reaching countryside views, in the exclusive hamlet of West Stoughton on The Isle of Wedmore.

Highbury Barn  

The fabulous four-bedroom barn conversion is the principal home of the two and embraces contemporary open-plan living whilst providing a warm and welcoming haven. The quality of the craftsmanship throughout the property is evident from the bespoke kitchen to the smallest door handle. The hub of this home is the wonderful space which stretches the width of the barn and incorporates the kitchen, dining and sitting rooms. Trifold doors open out to the garden from the sitting room, and a garden room extends out from the kitchen, creating a sociable entertaining space inside and out, or a peaceful and private oasis. There is a cosy, beautifully decorated main sitting room which perfectly complements the open plan space. In colder months, a log burning stove in the living space and electric ‘log burner’ in the sitting room provide warm focal points. On the ground floor there is also a useful utility room and a cloakroom. The four bedrooms are upstairs, each with its own unique character and style. The master bedroom looks out over the garden on two sides and benefits from a modern ensuite. The other three bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Highbury Cottage

The cottage is independent of the barn and is situated to give each its privacy. It offers potential for multi-generational living or to provide an income. The open plan sitting/dining room is light and spacious with a bay window at one end and the sunroom, facing out onto the garden, at the other. The kitchen also looks out to the rear of the property and accesses the garden via the adjacent utility room. The ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom with understairs storage. The two double bedrooms are upstairs. The larger of the two has a sizeable ensuite bathroom and they both share a separate shower room.

Outside

This corner plot of almost an acre of beautiful level gardens stretches out from both houses, with clever mature planting screening Highbury Barn from the Cottage. The vast expanse of lawn is mainly bordered by hedging with panoramic views across to The Quantocks and The Mendips. The garden is landscaped with a combination of herbaceous borders and perennial shrubs, with paved terraces, a kitchen garden and an attractive pergola. To the side of the house there is a summer house nestled in the greenery, with a further secluded paved terrace with a gate to the driveway. At present the cottage has a small lawned area which is fenced off from the main garden but it could be extended and have its own private access from Ashton Road. At the front, both properties share a large driveway, accessed via a five bar gate, where there is a double garage, a shed and ample parking for a multitude of vehicles.
