Description

An exceptional detached barn conversion, thoughtfully upgraded and enhanced, offering a rare opportunity to further extend (planning permission granted for a 4.4m extension, including an additional skylight and window to the lounge). Set within a delightful plot with far-reaching views over open fields, this charming home combines character with contemporary refinement.

Description

Internally, the accommodation is centred around a striking open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, complemented by a double bedroom, a stylish shower room, and a first-floor mezzanine level currently utilised as an office or occasional bedroom. High-quality windows and doors with integrated security features are installed throughout.

Open Plan Living/Dining/Kitchen
Accessed via a solid wood entrance door, this impressive open-plan space features a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a mezzanine level above, ideal as a home office or occasional sleeping area, accessed via a pull-down staircase.

Natural light floods the room through a hardwood double-glazed window to the front, wooden double-glazed French doors opening onto the rear terrace, and two Velux rooflights. The space is finished with stylish vinyl flooring, complemented by contemporary ceiling and wall lighting, a mains smoke alarm and two graphite radiators.

The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units, set beneath rolled-edge work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and a single electric oven with ceramic hob and extractor hood above. A composite sink with drainer and mixer tap completes the space.

Solid wood internal doors lead to the bedroom, shower room, and the area designated for the approved extension.

Mezzanine/Office Area
A versatile elevated space overlooking the main living area, ideal for use as a home office or occasional bedroom. Features include a Velux rooflight, ceiling lighting, a wall-mounted gas-fired combination boiler, and ample room for office furnishings.

Bedroom
An inviting rear-aspect double bedroom enjoying views over the terrace through hardwood double-glazed windows. The room benefits from recessed spotlighting, a radiator, and a built-in double wardrobe with solid wood doors.

Agents Note: Full planning permission for rear single storey extension.

The property is situated in the popular village of Tarnock. A major feature of the village is that it falls within the catchment area of Kings of Wessex and Hugh Sexeys educational facilities. The nearby coastal town of Burnham on Sea is a few miles distant giving everyday banking and shopping facilities together with its popular beach front, small pier and Esplanade offering a range of coastal attractions. There are major supermarkets (Tesco & Lidl) in Burnham on Sea and a large Asda superstore in nearby Highbridge. Access to junction 22 (M5) is a few miles distant giving excellent commuting facilities to Bristol, Taunton etc. There is a mainline railway station in nearby Highbridge and Bristol Airport is approximately 15 miles distant.

The property is beautifully appointed throughout and benefits from generous driveway and plot, parking for a minimum of six vehicles, alongside a timber outbuilding and an elegant pergola and lawns. To the rear, a well-designed, low-maintenance 40' patio provides a setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
