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 pale stone elevations under a traditional clay tiled roof, is immediately appealing. Once inside, the welcoming and spacious reception hallway really does set the scene for the rest of the accommodation - a wonderful first impression of the barn, giving access to the stairs and living room to the left. This attractive and atmospheric living room has floor to ceiling windows and double doors to the front. From the entrance hallway a door opens through to the attractive kitchen featuring an oak topped island whilst quartz countertops adorn a host of fitted cabinetry and offers space for an American style fridge freezer and a large range cooker. French doors from the kitchen and the dining room make for a wonderfully social space, the exposed stone walls, deep window recesses and exposed beams all adding to the rustic charm that 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. 

To the first floor, both bedrooms are generous doubles and both display some lovely character features, the second bedroom benefitting from an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower. The family bathroom to this floor has a luxurious claw-foot bath in addition to a large walk in shower.  To the top floor, a further double bedroom, shower room and spacious studio (doubling up as the fourth bedroom) complete the accommodation.

The simply exceptional gardens are to the rear and side of the barn where the wide stone terrace flanks the house and provides the perfect space for al-fresco dining.  More intimate seating areas are scattered around the gardens which have been thoughtfully planned, beautifully landscaped and lovingly maintained by the owner. An attractive stone wall runs the full length of the garden to the right and encloses the most peaceful areas within these wonderful outdoor spaces.

Manor Barn has the added benefit of mains gas, water and drainage and has an impressively large double stone garage with workshop and a particularly useful galleried storage area above, the garage is 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 a number of 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 a village located in a valley on the Mendip Hills - an area well known for its beautiful walks, landscapes and unspoilt villages. The village has a wonderful 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, within a mere ten minutes drive. 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 versatile layout with the added bonus of the large garage/workshop, this is a haven for retirees!
