Description
Four properties in one! The perfect multi-generation living/home with income set up right at the foot of the Quantocks. A fantastic opportunity to acquire this substantial 6 bedroom barn conversion together with 3 additional cottages, set in an idyllic rural yet accessible location within approx. 0.85 acres of grounds with lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
Penbridge Court is a former threshing barn (unlisted) which is thought to date back to 1805. It has been exceptionally well maintained by the current owners who have run it as a successful holiday let for the past 12 years. Sleeping 24 in total, the business has provided a healthy income and could continue with the current cleaning and maintenance team. The main barn would also make a lovely family home with income from the 3 cottages or would suit families wanting a multi-generational set up (subject to any relevant change of use requirements - which the current vendors are happy to assist with). The accommodation is arranged as follows:
Main Barn
The ground floor comprises, in brief, reception hall, WC/laundry room, large open plan kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors onto a further dining/reception area, games room, and a sitting room with inglenook fireplace. 2 double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms, complete the ground floor accommodation. The first floor offers the most impressive galleried landing overlooking the dining room and providing a further reception/sitting area. There are 2 generous double bedrooms, both with ensuites, and 2 further double bedrooms serviced by a shared family bathroom.
The Byre
A single storey cottage attached to the main house but totally self contained, The Byre comprises entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room, double bedroom and a bathroom.
Sunset Cottage
Sunset Cottage can be found on the other side of the impressive vaulted archway/car port and comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/living space on the ground floor and a double bedroom with ensuite on the first floor.
The Stables
The largest of the 3 cottages, The Stables is a single storey cottage comprising an entrance hall, kitchen, sitting/dining room with vaulted ceiling, 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Externally the property is accessed over a tree lined private drive which leads to ample parking and turning space which is fitted with an electric car charging point. Each of the 3 cottages has an area of garden directly outside providing space to sit out away from the main garden. An impressive arch/car port gives access to the main garden to the rear which is laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and trees, a large south facing patio, further patio with hot tub, 2 stores/outbuildings and a summer house.
Note - a footpath runs up the driveway before cutting out into the adjacent field. It does not cross the rear garden which is totally private.
Services - mains water and electricity, septic tank drainage, LPG gas central heating (the main barn is run off a tank, whilst the cottages are services by gas bottles). Each property has its own boiler. There is a direct fibre high-speed broadband connection.
The property is in a quiet location at the end of a no through road yet only 15 minutes from Taunton which provides fast road and rail links to Exeter, Bristol and London (Taunton to London Paddington from 1 hour 40 minutes).
