Description

Tucked away on the edge of the sought after village of West Pennard, Mystics Barn is a characterful barn conversion offering a wealth of exposed stonework, beams and individual features throughout. Set within generous gardens and enjoying a series of private terraces and seating areas, the property combines period charm with versatile accommodation extending to circa 1,600 square feet. A home equally suited to family living, home working or those seeking a village retreat within easy reach of Glastonbury, Wells and the surrounding countryside.

Accommodation
Approached through a sheltered courtyard, a stable door opens into the kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of oak wall, base and drawer units together with space for a range cooker and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. A useful walk in pantry provides excellent additional storage, whilst stairs rise to the first floor and an inner hall links the principal living accommodation. The drawing room is undoubtedly one of the property's most impressive spaces, open to the full roof height with exposed beams, a gallery landing and a multi fuel stove creating a striking focal point. Double doors connect the room to the inner hall, whilst a concealed door set within a bookcase reveals a substantial ground floor bedroom. A further entrance hall provides practical storage space and independent access from the front of the property.

The accommodation is arranged over two separate first floor areas, adding to the property's individual character. Above the sitting room is a versatile room currently used as a study, although equally suited as an occasional bedroom, hobby room or workspace. A second staircase rises from the kitchen/dining room to a separate landing serving two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite comprising a bath with rainfall shower over, vanity unit with wash hand basin and WC. Throughout the property, exposed stonework, timber beams and thoughtful design details combine to create a home full of charm and character.

Outside
Outside, the property is approached through a wooden gate onto a driveway providing parking for several vehicles. Extensive lawned gardens extend to both the front and side, enclosed by mature hedging and planting. Steps descend to an enclosed courtyard and terrace which enjoys a high degree of privacy and provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A further raised decked terrace has been positioned to make the most of the sunny aspects, whilst additional stone steps lead to a large gravelled area offering useful outdoor space. A timber shed and wood store complete the grounds, which provide a variety of seating areas and attractive outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the year.

Bristol International Airport is c.15 miles to the north-west.The surrounding towns provide a wide choice of recreational and shopping facilities whilst the larger centres of Bath and Bristol are within an hour's commuting distance.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications.
