Main Street, Ash, Martock, Somerset, TA12

A beautifully presented 3 bedroom Hamstone barn conversion with spacious ground-floor living accommodation, attractive landscaped gardens, tandem garage, and driveway parking. Close proximity to the A303, enables easy commuting to nearby towns and regional centres.

Located on the fringe of sought after Ash, The Old Wagon House comprises a spacious barn that was originally converted in the mid 1980’s.

The property offers generous accommodation, with a particularly impressive ground floor layout designed for both comfort and entertaining.

From the large and welcoming hallway, steps lead down to a most impressive sitting room, full of character and charm, providing an inviting setting with ample space for seating and relaxation. This is complemented by a well-appointed dining room, ideal for both formal dining and family gatherings, with a natural flow between the main living spaces. With a shower room off, this room could happily be used as a ground floor bedroom suite if needed.

The kitchen/breakfast room is thoughtfully arranged and offers a range of fitted units, ample work surfaces, a Rayburn, integrated twin ovens, an induction hob and space for everyday dining. Its layout makes it both practical and sociable. Further flexibility is provided by the study/home office/hobbies room which could be used as an additional reception room. A useful utility area, shower room and cloakroom/WC add to the practicality of the layout.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from built-in storage. These rooms are serviced by a modern family shower room (formerly a bathroom) which boasts underfloor heating. The landing also provides additional storage space and access to a balcony, offering an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy the surrounding views.
