Wrington, Bristol, BS40

The Property
Thatchway Barn is situated about 1.4 miles west of the village centre, adjoining farmland with extensive open views across unspoilt countryside to the Mendip Hills. There are lovely views in all directions including to the north, to Wrington wooded hills.

Thatchway Barn was converted many years ago and the present owners purchased the property in 2009. Since then, the barn and grounds have been maintained to a high standard. The owners have upgraded the property over the years including redesigning the first floor, and replacing the breakfast kitchen/dining room with superb bespoke wood painted units, island unit and matching dresser. An electric AGA was installed and integrated appliances include a cabinet fridge/freezer, hob, wine cooler, microwave and dishwasher. There is a log burning stove in the dining area, matching dresser, and a stone floor with underfloor heating is laid throughout the breakfast kitchen/dining area, entrance vestibule and cloakroom.

The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere. There are oak floors, doors with iron latch furniture and beamed ceilings. The sitting room is a striking and comfortable room with a log burning stove fitted in a stone fireplace, and French doors open to the enclosed garden. The study, off the sitting room, is well fitted with a range of cupboard units and work surfaces. Two of the four bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor, one with an en suite shower room, and are at split level off the sitting room.

On the first floor, off the landing, is a walk-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom has an en suite dressing room and en suite shower room. There is a further bedroom with en suite shower room, and family bathroom with a contemporary roll top bath.

Outside
Thatchway Barn is approached through tall solid timber electric operated gates that open to a drive and large parking area, providing parking for several vehicles, in front of the detached stone and tile outbuilding/garage block. The gardens and land are attractively planned in compartments and contained within dense well-kept mixed hedgerow. Immediately in front of the house is a walled courtyard area with a pergola covered sitting area, designed to capture the view. There is a timber garden store, and an area of lawn has superb views across to Crook Peak of the Mendip Hills.

The main garden spans the length of the barn and is enclosed. There is a covered overhang over a paved area with built in bench, overlooking the garden, which is attractively planned and planted, with extensive views. There is a deep shaped bed with a variety of shrubs. Ornamental shrubs include Weeping Acers. There is a lawn and a shaped pond with a water feature. Lying to the south of the gardens, is a paddock facing south, with superb open views to the Mendip Hills, and is accessed from the drive.

Outbuildings
Beside the entrance gates is a detached, part stone and tile double garage, with air conditioning and roller door. Lying adjacent, is a superb block built and substantial workshop with tiled floor and log burning stove. In the paddock, is a detached timber two bay shelter with adjoining lock up hay or log store.

Planning
The attractive stone and tile outbuilding has planning permission to convert into a two bedroom unit, providing ancillary accommodation on the ground floor. Currently it has a WC, workshop area, garaging and a staircase leads to a boarded first floor with vaulted ceiling fitted with Velux windows.
Planning permission was passed in 2019 By North Somerset Council. Application Number 18/P/4978/FUH
