Yeabridge Court, Yeabridge, South Petherton, TA13

Nestled in the south Somerset countryside, Yeabridge Court is an exquisite collection of Grade II listed Hamstone barn conversions within an idyllic rural location, close to the amenities of South Petherton. Luxurious and stylish, No 4 is one of the larger properties here and a fine example of contemporary design with traditional features. It is also efficient and ecofriendly with the benefit of a Daikin air source heat pump.

A part glazed door opens into a spacious hallway with underfloor heating throughout and in turn leads to a conveniently located cloakroom. The stylish kitchen/family room is flooded with natural light due to its exceptional dual aspect floor to ceiling windows and a door which leads out to the garden. The stylish shaker style kitchen, fitted with integrated induction hob, double oven, large fridge/freezer and dishwasher, offers ample storage and has a remarkable feeling of space with its vaulted ceiling, dramatic exposed beams and theatrical hanging lights. There is space for a large table and chairs and a cosy sitting area with wood burner, perfect for enjoying evenings with family or friends. Just off the kitchen is a functional utility room, also featuring the shaker style units, 1½ bowl sink and space and connection for a washing machine/dryer. The sitting room, with dual aspect French doors leading out to the garden and courtyard, is fabulous for entertaining, with space for an additional table and chairs and even a grand piano, if desired.

On the first floor are three neutrally decorated and luxurious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and has the convenience of an ensuite shower room with waterfall shower. The addition of some clever storage in two of the bedrooms, with bespoke fitted wardrobes by Hammonds, is an ingenious use of space. The vaulted landing upstairs has room for a small desk and with its exposed beams and vast window looking down onto the kitchen is clever and impressive.

Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, this barn conversion is the epitome of comfortable and fashionable country living.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via an attractive gravel communal courtyard to the front but is perhaps more frequently accessed via a stone pathway leading from the garaging through the private garden at the back. The installation of feature lights to the entrance contributes to a clever and appealing arrival. Much of the garden is laid to lawn, surrounded by wooden fencing and bordered by trees which include silver birch, salix and Italian cupressus, providing year round colour and interest. There is a garage and a double carport with power and lighting adding to the convenience and overriding practical nature of this most desirable property.

Yeabridge is a favoured hamlet surrounded by countryside. It is within close proximity to the delightful village of South Petherton which has a variety of traditional shops as well as the South Petherton Community Hospital. The larger centres of Yeovil, Sherborne and Taunton are within easy reach with excellent communication links to the A303 (predominantly dual carriageway to the M3 and London) as well as the M5. Train links are from Taunton or Castle Cary to London Paddington or Yeovil/Crewkerne to London Waterloo.
