Bedrooms: 4
A contemporary and particularly impressive four bedroom detached barn conversion, completed in 2022 and occupying a superb one acre plot. Situated in a much sought-after village, this remarkable property includes extensive gated parking and beautifully landscaped gardens. EPC rating C.
A door to the front of the property opens into an inner porch, ideal for storage of boots, coats etc. with a set of double doors then continuing through to the main hall. The spacious central hall gives access to all rooms, all with solid oak doors and incorporates two useful built-in cupboards.
Primrose Barn has four bedrooms; three of which are generous doubles and one with fitted double wardrobes. The family bathroom is spacious and well-appointed with a modern suite comprising a bath, a vanity wash hand basin, a low-level WC and a large shower cubicle with attractive tiling. In addition to the bathroom, there is a further WC adjoining, also with a wash hand basin.
One of the main selling points of this smartly presented barn conversion is the open-plan kitchen/reception room. This fabulous triple-aspect room is finely-proportioned and enjoys plenty of natural light with two sets of sliding doors opening out to the adjoining terrace, with a view of the garden beyond. Within the sitting area is a freestanding multi-fuel burning stove providing a delightful focal point and there is space for a good size table and chairs at one end of the room. The kitchen has been tastefully fitted with a range of grey floor and wall units and includes an integrated electric double oven, an induction hob and an extractor over. In addition, there is plumbing for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher as well as an island with breakfast bar and lighting above. Thoughtfully converted by the current owners, the property also benefits from oil-fired underfloor heating and has a building warranty in place until November 2032.
OUTSIDE
With a total plot of one acre, the garden and grounds offer an ideal space for families, entertaining and indeed green-fingered purchasers. An initially shared driveway into Long Hill Farm then leads to a private and extensive area of gated off-road parking at the front of the barn. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of well-tended shrubs, plants and mature trees. Furthermore, there is a section of vegetable plots (with greenhouse) and a wonderful raised terrace, enclosed to all sides and has been designed to provide a superb outdoor seating/dining area with views across the garden and the neighbouring countryside.
A gate from the garden then continues into a level enclosure (approx. 0.40 acre); a pleasant space enclosed by hedging and fencing, with a lovely arbour and double gated vehicular access. Within the corner of the grounds is a shipping container (painted green), offering excellent secure outdoor storage.
The favoured village of Ditcheat has a fine church, a village hall, an excellent local pub (The Manor House Inn), a successful primary school, a local farm shop (Barbers), Paul Nicholls' racing stables and is surrounded by scenic countryside. The village is three miles to Castle Cary which offers wider amenities and has an intercity railway station London Paddington in approx. 1 hour 40 minutes away.
The cities of Bath and Bristol are within reasonable commuting distance to the north and the A303 is also within easy reach, likewise the south coast. As well as good state schools being available locally, there are also many highly regarded independent schools (Prep & Senior) close by, such as All Hallows Prep School, Downside School, Kings at Bruton, Wells Cathedral School and Millfield School.
