Description
A well presented semi-detached barn conversion offering spacious and flexible single storey accommodation. Set in a tucked-away village location, the property features three bedrooms, generous reception space, ample parking, a garage and attractive low-maintenance outside areas.
The Dwelling - This semi-detached barn conversion, with attractive stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged entirely on one level. The property provides three bedrooms and two reception rooms and is set in a tucked-away position in the heart of the village.
Accomodation - The property provides well-proportioned and highly flexible accommodation throughout. The principal living room is a generous and inviting space, featuring a brick hearth with an open fireplace and enjoying an aspect to the front of the property. Positioned on the opposite side of the hallway, the dining room offers an additional reception area, equally suited to formal dining or alternative living arrangements.
Set to the rear, the kitchen is a particularly spacious room with ample space for dining furniture. Thoughtfully designed to cater to all culinary needs, it benefits from extensive cabinetry, high-quality integrated appliances, and generous provision for additional white goods, together with housing the oil-fired boiler. The kitchen provides access to a cloakroom and a further versatile room, suitable for use as a bedroom or additional reception space, which in turn leads to the conservatory.
The conservatory enjoys both front and rear access and also provides internal access to the garage. Two further bedrooms are located off the central hallway and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Garden - To the rear, the outside space is predominantly laid to patio, providing a low-maintenance area for outdoor seating and entertaining. To the front, there is generous external space, mainly laid to gravel, offering ample off-road parking. The single garage benefits from light and power, with additional storage situated adjacent to the garage.
Situation - Set within the centre of the particularly attractive and sought-after village of Charlton Horethorne, which lies amidst gently rolling countryside on the Dorset–Somerset border. Surrounded by fields and woodland, the village enjoys a peaceful rural atmosphere while offering good everyday amenities, including a village shop, primary school, the well-regarded Kings Arms pub and hotel, parish church, and an active village hall.
The historic abbey town of Sherborne lies approximately 5 miles away and provides a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and a Waitrose supermarket. Castle Cary, about 9 miles distant, is a popular market town with a characterful high street, weekly market, and mainline station, while Bruton is known for the Hauser & Wirth gallery and the nearby Newt estate, a renowned country destination.
The area is well served for education, with excellent state and independent schools in Sherborne and Bruton.
