A charming and beautifully refurbished property that enjoys a quiet and peaceful setting, and forms part of the conversion of a historic Tithe Barn, within walking distance of the centre of this historic Somerset town.

Exceptionally stylish and spacious accommodation that includes a bright and spacious sitting room, kitchen dining room, utility, cloakroom, three double bedrooms and family bathroom, all of which offer comfortable space and tasteful décor. 

Outside, the property offers a south facing paved terrace, a thoughtfully designed Mediterranean style, sunny courtyard garden and off-road parking.

Location
Somerton is a thriving market town steeped in history and offers a wide range of amenities including independent shops, cafes, and excellent pubs and restaurants. The property is ideally positioned within walking distance of the town centre yet enjoys a tranquil setting, accessed via a small lane. Excellent transport links connect the town to the A303, and nearby towns such as Yeovil, Glastonbury, and Castle Cary offer further amenities, including mainline rail links to London.

Description
Believed to date back circa 1760, this Grade II listed Tithe Barn is an imposing and handsome property, constructed from local Lias stone with Ham stone dressings, beneath a clay pantiled roof. Characterful features such as Ham stone buttresses and mullion windows add to its historic appeal.

The house itself is generously proportioned, offering light and airy accommodation with good sized rooms and high ceilings. The property benefits from gas central heating and retains many period features, whilst providing comfortable, modern living spaces.

Accommodation
At the approach is an inset, paved porch area, which is south facing and offers plenty of room for a table and chairs, making it the ideal spot for either a morning coffee or a quiet evening with a glass of wine and a good book during the warmer months.

The covered porch area leads into an entrance hall, where a staircase rises to the first floor, with the principle rooms to either side. 

To the left is a spacious, tastefully decorated 18ft sitting room featuring a Minster stone fireplace, wall panelling, bespoke storage cupboards and large, floor to ceiling windows which ensure an abundance of natural light. 

To the right of the hall is a well-equipped kitchen/dining room, which has been wonderfully refitted with a range of bespoke units, oak work surfaces, wall panelling, shelving and slate flooring. A particularly wonderful piece is an old reclaimed French shop counter, that has expertly crafted into the cabinetry and complemented by a range of additional handmade units. The kitchen provides ample space for a central dining table and chairs, whilst internal glazing from the hallway allows as much light to feed into the kitchen as possible, along with the south facing mullion window to the front and stylish light fittings.

Beyond the kitchen, a useful utility room offers additional workspace, room for appliances and laundry facilities, fitted shelving and a cloakroom with WC and basin in the adjoining room.

The first-floor landing benefits from a large storage cupboard and leads to three well-proportioned, double bedrooms along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom extends to 20ft and includes wall length, fitted wardrobes, with all bedrooms offering fitted shelving and mullion windows to the front aspect.

The bathroom is fitted with a classic white suite comprising a bathtub with shower over, WC, and pedestal basin, with stylish tiled surrounds and fitted storage.

Additionally, the property benefits from a large attic space, which offers excellent scope for further use, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside
A private driveway leads to the Tithe Barn, passing through an attractive entrance from Parsonage Hill. The property benefits from a delightful, sunny garden which has been thoughtfully designed in Mediterranean style, with raised beds, semi-circular seating and stone chippings, offering a valuable outdoor space with ample off-road parking to the side.
