Description

A charming barn conversion situated in a desirable location at the foot of the Quantock Hills. Attractive gardens, two driveways and a double garage. No onward chain.

Spinners is a delightful attached barn conversion situated in a picturesque and desirable location. The property was originally the barns and outbuildings of the neighbouring property and was sympathetically converted in the 1990's. Surrounded by fields and farmland, Spinners enjoys glorious views across open countryside and towards the Bristol Channel. Now offered for sale with no onward chain.

The spacious and versatile accommodation is predominantly arranged over a single storey and briefly comprises; double doors open into a porch with further door opening into the welcoming entrance hall. On the left of the hall you will enter into the kitchen which is fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units with complimentary worktops over and tiling to splashbacks. The kitchen opens into a dining room with doors leading into the sun room and inner hall. The sun room is a lovely light and airy room which takes advantage of the attractive gardens and views beyond and opens onto a sun terrace. Within the inner hall you will find a shower room, external door and access into the double garage which has power, light and two electric roller doors. A useful utility is located at the side of the garage, again with an external door leading out.

Returning to the entrance hall, there is a double bedroom and family bathroom, along with a door which gives access to a further hallway where you will find the principal bedroom with built-in storage and an ensuite shower room. A third bedroom is available which is currently being utilised as a dressing room and is fitted with a range of wardrobes. Finally, the open plan sitting room is a particular feature of this family home with a fireplace housing a gas fired wood burner and staircase rising up to a mezzanine floor which offers a perfect space for an office or library. Subject to any necessary planning permissions, this area of the property could also provide an additional income stream as a holiday let or Airbnb facility as it can be separate from the main house with independent access and a separate driveway.

An early viewing is essential to fully appreciate this lovely village home.

The property is situated at the foot of the Quantock Hills within the quiet hamlet of Plainsfield. The area is designated as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty and these hills provide opportunities for walking, riding and other rural pursuits. From the property views can be enjoyed over the adjoining farmland and beyond and from the top of the hills, views across to the nearby coast. The somewhat larger village of Nether Stowey is within approx. 3 miles and provides local shopping facilities, Health Centre, public houses, hairdressers, butchers, library and more. The county town of Taunton can be reached over the hills and is about 9 miles distance, while the town of Bridgwater is approximately 9 miles east.

There are a number of state and private schools within the local area including Kings College, Queens College and Taunton School. Access to the M5 Motorway can be found at Bridgwater Junctions 23 & 24 and Taunton Junction 25. Both towns also benefit from mainline rail links.

The gardens and grounds are also a feature of this home and the total plot extends to approximately 0.4 acres. Access is offered through two gated entrances on either side. Both drives provide parking and the driveway on the right hand side leads to the double garage, The garden to the rear is predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and trees, bordered with an established hedge.
