4 bedroom house

An attractive four bedroom barn conversion together with double garage, stables and pastureland. In all about 3.17 acres.

This charming barn was converted in 2009 to a beautiful standard and is of local stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The accommodation retains many of its original character features which briefly comprises an entrance hall with a utility and W.C. A door off leads to a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining room which is glazed to the south, flooding the room with natural light. Adjacent is an ‘L’ shaped sitting room enjoying a dual aspect and at the other end of the property are 3 double bedrooms with a family bathroom and a master bedroom with en-suite on the first floor. The gardens lie to the front and side and there is ample parking for several cars, along with a detached double garage, stable block and paddock. In all the property extends to approximately 3.17 acres.

The property lies on the edge of the small village of Waterrow, located 2 miles west of Wiveliscombe and a popular village pub. Wiveliscombe itself is a former market town and enjoys a comprehensive range of shops and amenities, including post office, doctor’s surgery, vets, library, public houses, church, community office and restaurant. There is also an excellent primary and secondary school with good Ofstead reports and further educational colleges can be found in Taunton. The recreation ground enjoys a tennis court, foodball, cricket and rugby pitches, a gym and an open air heated swimming pool. The county town of Taunton lies some 11 miles to the east enjoying a comprehensive range of retail, leisure and scholastic facilities as you would expect from a regional centre. The M5 motorway access can be joined at either Taunton or Wellington and a mainline rail link can be found at both Tiverton and Taunton.

The property is approached via a five bar gate which leads to a car parking and turning area for several cars. Here access can be gained to a detached double garage with double doors and storage over the garage. A timber picket fence divides the gardens where adjoining the house is a raised sun terrace with a southerly aspect, perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. Adjacent is a lawned garden with herbaceous borders and to the side is a further garden enclosed within natural hedgerows. From the parking area a field gate leads to a paddock where a timber stable block can be found containing two boxes (3.5m x 3.6m) on a stone base with water connected. Planning consent is in place for this to be extended by a way of a tack room, feed store and log shed if so required. The field itself which extends to approximately 2.91 acres is gently sloping with superb views of the surrounding countryside.
