Manor Farm Barn, Bridgwater

We are delighted to offer this truly remarkable, four bed link detached country residence set in grounds of circa one acre, including a wild-life pond, covered swimming pool, separate detached barn with annexe and garage and occupying a private position in the lovely village of West Newton. In brief the property comprises an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, study/bedroom, utility, WC and sitting room to the ground floor and three bedrooms, with master having an En-Suite and a family bathroom to the first floor. 4 Manor Farm Barn has undergone a complete upgrade by its current owners, combining the very best of contemporary living with original charm and character. The kitchen/dining/family room is, in our opinion, one of the best. Its impressive size is complemented by an abundance of natural light with direct access onto the garden terrace, seamlessly uniting inside with out. Its stacked full of practical storage, has ample work-space and is fitted with all the essential mod cons. For those who love social get togethers and entertaining family and friends, it's a real show-stopper. Those that need to work from home or enjoy peace and quiet with a good book, will appreciate the designated study space. That said, such is the versatility of this home, it would make an equally good fourth bedroom or playroom, depending on one's needs. The cosy and intimate sitting room offers the ideal escape through the colder months, whether it's hunkering down in front of the wood-burner or relaxing in front of a film. The three bedrooms to the first floor are all generously proportioned and can all accommodate double beds with the master bedroom having the luxury of its own ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by the rather magnificent family bathroom which benefits from a large shower and separate roll-top bath. Those looking for a family retreat and simply, quintessential country living will find their own piece of paradise here.

The Barn - Annexe and Garaging
Wow. This detached barn has undergone the 'full-works'. In brief the annexe comprises a kitchen/dining family room, shower room with WC and a double bedroom. This living space has been gorgeously presented to be welcoming, spacious and practical in equal measure. It is ideal for multi-generational living, over-flow accommodation or, for those interested in an income stream, a great holiday let. A connecting door leads into the vast garage space. Such is the scale, it will appeal to car enthusiasts, those who want a work shop/gym or, perhaps all three. Discerning buyers will also note that the barn has been built in such away, that the whole space could be converted into further living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached by a private driveway giving access to off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as access to the garage, annexe and main house. The grounds extend to almost an acre and are made up to a combination of sweeping lawns, garden terrace, goat pen, duck pond, chicken run and further complemented by an enclosed swimming pool. Those wanting a 'taste of the good life' have the ideal space to make their own, whilst those with children and/or pets have a magical playground in which to run free. The grounds back onto picturesque apple orchards, which is a wonderful backdrop to this idyllic home. The garden terrace provides a romantic setting for alfresco dining and summer soirees whilst the BBQ hut (now fitted with woodburner) is a place the whole family can keep warm and socialise throughout the seasons. Very few properties offer such dynamic and versatile gardens, and we would strongly recommend those who enjoy whiling away life outdoors to view.
