Description
Tilham Barn is a beautifully crafted timber-framed property, built in the late 1990s to exacting standards with an exceptional attention to detail. Set on the outskirts of Baltonsborough, within sweeping private grounds, the house occupies an elevated position with uninterrupted views across the rolling Somerset countryside towards the iconic Glastonbury Tor.
Sympathetically designed to sit effortlessly within its rural surroundings, the property draws inspiration from the architectural character and rich heritage of the area, while offering the comfort and quality expected of a thoughtfully designed modern home. Every element has been considered to create a house that feels both grounded and timeless.
Flagstone floors in the entrance porch transition to oakfloors, pairing with the timber framed property. The living space is grand in size with dual aspect offering views to the front and beyond and as well as straight through to the rear terrace and gardens. A fireplace with sandstone surround provides added atomosphere and warmth in the cooler months. A double set of French doors open semmlessly onto the rear terrace. The kitchen / dining room is similarly dual aspect and bright with French doors opening to the rear terrace and a lovely window opening the setting to the front. A shaker style kitchen, island and integrated appliances along with a log burning stove ensure a most comfortable space for entertaining or more intimate occasions alike. A large walk-in pantry and a bespoke utility room, with dog shower, laundry area, and boot space, make this a home perfectly suited to the practicalities of country living.
A guest cloakroom and coat cupboard complete the ground floor.
Stairs lead to a bright landing with beautiful windows creating a lovely reading nook or space to pause and enjoy the surrounds. Three large and very comfortable double bedrooms lead off the landing. Each furnished with their own ensuite, high ceilings and large windows affording exceptional views and creating a very comfortable home. The primary suite includes a particularly spacious bedroom with views to Glastonbury Tor, a walk in dressing room and ensuite bathroom with claw bath and separate shower. This floor also boasts the added luxury of a walk in linen cupboard.
A further large double bedroom with sink sits on the upper floor along with a studio room. Built into the eaves and boasting several dormer/sky lights, this is a very attractive and bright space which could be utilised for a variety of purposes such as further accommodation / teenagers retreat / home office/ studio.
Outside
Tilham Barn sits proudly in approximate 0.5 of an acre of private and mature gardens. Approached via a sweeping drive the front lawn slopes gently to meet mature hedging. The garden opens to the rural landscape and is dotted with mature apple trees and shrubbery. A climbing rose adorns the front of the house, with a stone wall and pretty gate to the left announcing the separate characterful stone barn.
The rear garden is completely private and magical. The paved terrace runs the length of the property providing ample space for al fresco living. Boarded by mature plantings in landscaped garden beds featuring various shrubs and touches of colour provided by the likes of roses, gernamiums and hydraganeas. A beautiful wisteria drapes across the rear of the house. From the terrace, the garden opens into a small orchard of productive apple trees and the occasional pear and plum, a perfect setting for a summer picnic or campout. At the garden’s end lies a tranquil wildlife pond surrounded by Gunnera and water lilies. The setting is peaceful and picture perfect. A log store and green house / potting shed complete this idyllic rural picture.
Positioned to the side of the main house and full of potential, the original stone barn offers further accommodation, currently configured with two bathrooms, two bedrooms (including a mezzanine), and a full kitchen. The main living space is vaulted with exposed beams and awash with light from glazed stable doors - full of character and awaiting a gentle restoration to make it truly shine. Whether for multigenerational living, guests, or creative studio space, this also offers a unique opportunity.
