Description
WITH LAND APPROACHING TWO ACRES, INCLUDING PADDOCKS with excellent smallholding, equestrian or lifestyle potential, Grove Barn is a beautifully presented barn conversion enjoying uninterrupted countryside views and spacious accommodation. Extending to just over 1,450 sq. ft, the property has been recently refurbished to a high standard, thoughtfully combining contemporary finishes with the character and charm expected of a barn conversion, all within an exclusive rural setting just over a mile from Wincanton and its amenities.
Accommodation
Entering the property, you are welcomed into a central hallway where the reception area sits to the front, providing a versatile space ideally suited as a home office, snug or reading area. This also benefits from a large, shelved storage cupboard and loft access. To the left of the hallway, the property opens into the main living accommodation. The kitchen is fitted with a sleek white gloss cabinetry, granite worktops and a comprehensive range of high-quality integrated appliances including a Neff double oven, microwave, steam oven and warming drawer, as well as a fitted dishwasher and wine cooler. A Rangemaster Neo-Rock sink with drainer is positioned beneath a window, complemented by an instant hot water tap and water filter. French doors open directly out to the rear garden. The dining area flows naturally from the kitchen and offers ample space for a table and chairs, benefitting from dual aspect windows that allow for plenty of natural light. An open archway leads through the sitting room, where an attractive red brick arched fireplace with wood burner creates a cosy focal point. This room enjoys a dual aspect and features French doors opening onto the patio, perfectly framing the far-reaching views across the garden and surrounding countryside. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room, fitted with matching white gloss push-to-open units, a one-and-a-half bowl stainless-steel sink and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A cloakroom is accessed from here, and a door leads out to the side of the property.
The bedroom accommodation is well arranged and comprises three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to one side of the property and benefits from an adjoining dressing area fitted with wardrobes, drawers and built-in seating beneath the window. An en-suite bathroom serves the room and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, basin with storage and a heated towel rail. Bedroom two is located to the front aspect, while bedroom three enjoys a rear aspect, both providing comfortable double rooms. A separate shower room is fitted with a rainfall shower, WC, basin with storage and a mirror with integrated lighting and shaver point.
Outside
The property is approached via a tree lined driveway providing parking for several vehicles, along with a single carport with power and lighting. A wooden picket fence borders the front garden, which is laid to lawn with planted borders and a pathway leading to the entrance, with further access to the rear garden via a side gate. The rear garden is south-facing and predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a patio area ideal for outdoor dining or the addition of a garden suite. From here, uninterrupted views stretch across open countryside and adjoining fields, creating a peaceful and private setting. Additional features include a garden shed, outside tap and lighting. The land is a particular highlight of Grove Barn, offering excellent potential for equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle use. To the left of the access road leading up to the property lies an enclosed paddock extending to approximately 0.26 acres, planted with apple, plum and pear trees and edged by a meandering stream. To the right are two enclosed fields totalling approximately 1.32 acres with water connected, complete with a mobile field shelter and greenhouse, all with gated access. Grove barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a stylishly renovated barn conversion with land, set in an idyllic rural position while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.
