Strawberry View, Draycott Road, Draycott

Plot 3 offers a beautifully balanced layout that embraces contemporary comfort while celebrating the character of its rural setting.

The open-plan living area forms a stunning centrepiece - a flowing space where the kitchen, dining and sitting zones merge effortlessly, framed by feature glazing that draws in natural light and showcases views of the surrounding countryside. High ceilings with exposed beams add a touch of rustic grandeur, while modern finishes bring sophistication and ease to everyday life.

The kitchen is both stylish and practical, with integrated appliances, quality cabinetry, and generous worktops, perfect for those who love to cook or entertain. The adjoining dining and living areas create a welcoming environment for family gatherings or peaceful evenings at home.

Upstairs, the versatile mezzanine level provides an additional living or working area - ideal as a home office or creative studio. Adjacent is a double bedroom with large skylight. The remaining three double bedrooms are on the ground floor, including a luxurious master bedroom with an en-suite. The en-suite and family bathroom have been fitted to an exceptional standard with contemporary fittings and heated towel rails.

Outside, the landscaped garden and patio areas offer a tranquil escape, thoughtfully designed for relaxation and outdoor dining. The barn’s timeless exterior is complemented by sustainable modern technology - including an electric air source heat pump, underfloor heating, and energy-efficient insulation - ensuring comfort all year round.

Strawberry View is a select collection of just four contemporary barn conversions, expertly developed by Laurel Homes, set in the heart of the Somerset countryside in the charming village of Draycott, near Cheddar. Tucked away on the edge of this picturesque village, these homes offer an unrivalled opportunity to experience modern rural living while embracing the character and history of the original barns. Each conversion marries traditional architectural features, with high-spec finishes, clean lines, and light-filled interiors that create a harmonious blend of old and new.

Beyond the front door, the location is simply breath-taking. The properties sit against the backdrop of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering panoramic views, fresh country air, and endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors. Despite the tranquil setting, the village of Draycott provides a welcoming community atmosphere, with easy access to the market town of Cheddar and the wider Somerset region.

Strawberry View is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle. It offers a rare chance to enjoy a contemporary countryside residence where every detail has been designed for modern living, yet the charm and warmth of the original barns remain. Whether you’re entertaining in the light-filled open-plan living spaces, relaxing in the private garden, or exploring the stunning surroundings, life at Strawberry View promises peace, beauty, and a true sense of home.
