Manor Barn, High street, Chewton Mendip

Approached via a private driveway with hard standing for several vehicles, the attractive façade of the house with its local stone elevations under a traditional clay tiled roof is immediately appealing. We enter into a wide reception hallway, a wonderful first impression of the home and with access to the stairs ahead and living room to the left. The living room is a cosy snug with floor to ceiling windows and double doors to the front. To the right-hand side of the entrance hallway, you will find the kitchen, from which you can enjoy the open outlook over the wonderful rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room features an oak topped kitchen island whilst quartz countertops adorn a host of fitted cupboards and offer space for an American style fridge freezer and a large range cooker. French doors from the kitchen and the dining area make this a wonderfully social space and the exposed stone walls, deep window recesses and exposed beams all add to the rustic charm this conversion offers. There is also a very useful utility room, separate from the kitchen, with an exterior door, making this a useful 'boot room' entrance.

The first-floor rooms are accessed via the hallway and all four double bedrooms display lovely character features with the second bedroom benefitting from an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower. The family bathroom has a luxurious claw-foot bath in addition to a walk in shower and there is a further shower room on the 2nd floor.

To the rear of the house is a simply exceptional garden where a wide stone terrace flanks the house and provides the perfect space for al-fresco dining and has more intimate seating areas, scattered around the garden which has been beautifully landscaped by the owner. A beautiful stone wall runs the full length of the garden on the right and encloses a most peaceful and tranquil position within this popular Mendip village.

The property has the added benefit of mains gas, water and drainage and has an impressively large double garage with workshop, situated opposite the property with additional parking to the front. There is outside lighting to both the front and the rear of the property and ample parking to the front driveway for at least five cars.

Directions

Travelling along the A37 through Farrington Gurney stay on this road at the top of Rush Hill where the road becomes the A39 towards Wells. As you come down the hill into the village of Chewton Mendip, turn left into Church Lane and the property can be found directly on the corner on the left hand side.

Situation

Chewton Mendip is located in the Mendip Hills - an area well known for its beautiful landscape, and unspoilt villages. The village has a good community and boasts a good range of amenities including a primary school, pre-school, village shop, café, village hall, church and public house. The local secondary school is the very popular The Blue School in Wells. The Cathedral City of Wells is six miles to the South and Bristol is 15 miles to the north, whilst the City of Bath is 14 miles to the north east. Both offer excellent shopping, leisure and educational facilities. High speed rail services to London Paddington are available from Bristol and Bath and Bristol International Airport is 20 minutes (12 miles) away.

We have noticed... An expectational barn conversion with so much history on show and the most stunning country garden! It also has a very flexible layout with the added bonus of the large garage/workshop, this is a haven for retirees!
