West Ogwell Barton, West Ogwell

A superb stone-built barn conversion, The Gables was thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s and is situated in the highly desirable village of West Ogwell. Enjoying far-reaching views across the picturesque Denbury Downs, this spacious and characterful home offers two large reception rooms, four double bedrooms, and two bathrooms — making it an ideal fit for families seeking a slice of true countryside living. With an extensive rear garden and separate field, this property is expected to generate strong interest in the current market.

Accommodation

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a central hallway which provides access to both the kitchen/diner and dining room. The kitchen is styled in a traditional farmhouse design, featuring wall-to-wall cabinetry, ample worktop space, and room for a central dining table. It comes equipped with a fitted electric oven and hob. A large utility room is accessed from the kitchen, offering additional storage, space for white goods, and access to the rear garden.

Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom/WC and a spacious formal dining room, complete with a striking open split staircase leading to the first floor. The dining room comfortably accommodates a ten-seater table, making it perfect for entertaining. At the rear of the home, a generously proportioned lounge features a large fireplace as a central focal point and French doors opening onto the garden.

Upstairs, a central landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an excellent size, enjoying dual-aspect windows and a private en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are centrally located standard doubles, while bedroom two — also dual aspect — is another spacious double situated at the opposite end of the landing. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first floor and includes a separate bath and shower cubicle, as well as a Velux window for natural light. The property benefits from timber-framed double glazing and oil-fired central heating.

Outside Space

Externally, the property offers excellent outdoor space with a double carport to the right-hand side of the house and an additional gravel parking area adjacent. The large garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees lining the boundaries, all securely fenced. A patio area off the lounge provides a perfect setting for al fresco dining. From the side of the rear garden, a path (via the neighbour’s driveway) leads to a separate field of approximately 2.2 acres. This field includes three stables, making it particularly attractive for equestrian use or those seeking extra land.
