4 bedroom house

Charming stone built barn conversion in the heart of West Somerset with delightful gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.6 acres.


Description

Amani occupies a lovely position in the original grounds of the nearby manor house. Once one of the house's barns, it is now a lovely, light family home with delightful gardens and a useful paddock. The property is accessed via a gate onto a driveway providing parking for 3-4 cars and a garage.
The front door opens into a delightful stone courtyard giving access to the kitchen, utility room and front door to the property. Throughout the property there is exposed stonework, brick and beams giving plenty of character to every room. The kitchen offers a range of fitted wall and base units and overlooks a charming little front garden with much potential. Through the internal courtyard, there is a good-sized utility room with a range of base units, space for washing machine, tumble dryer and good storage space beyond. The dining room offers space for a large dining table with exposed stone and beams and double French doors opening onto a patio and the garden beyond. A large hallway lies beyond with the front door and space for a desk or work area.
The fabulous, light sitting room is an excellent entertaining space with a woodburner, exposed painted stonework, beams and French doors onto the patio and gardens. There is a further reception room to the ground floor with French doors which could be used as a good-sized study, snug or bedroom 4.

Upstairs, there are three en suite bedrooms. The principle bedroom provides ample storage space with fitted wardrobes, views over the garden and the orchard. The en suite benefits from a bath and separate shower as well as underfloor heating. The bedrooms and landing are also filled with character with exposed beams and brickwork/stonework.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Outside, the gardens with Amani offer tremendous scope for further development subject to any necessary planning consents. There is a fantastic barbeque area outside the sitting room and patio that wraps around the property with charming brick building under a tiled roof currently being used as a wood store and workshop. The remainder of the garden is divided into areas of lawns, well-stocks beds and borders and a newly cast concrete base suitable for a home office or garden room. There are established vegetable plots and a newly planted orchard over part of the paddock. The timber stables are currently used for storage, but could offer further potential subject to any necessary consents.
