Strawberry View, Draycott Road, Draycott

Plot 1 at Strawberry View presents a truly unique opportunity to enjoy single-storey living without compromise. This stunning home combines the timeless appeal of barn architecture with the very best in contemporary design and build quality.

From the moment you enter, the sense of space is unmistakable. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home - a light-filled space with modern glazing and doors opening directly onto a generous private garden. This seamless connection between indoors and outdoors creates a wonderful setting for entertaining or simply unwinding in the Somerset sunshine.

The bespoke kitchen has been carefully designed to offer both style and practicality, featuring high-quality fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances, and ample workspace. Each of the three double bedrooms has been thoughtfully positioned. The principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room, while the additional bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

A separate utility room adds to the functionality of the home, ensuring a clean and organised living environment. Throughout, the attention to detail is evident - from underfloor heating and quality flooring to the tasteful, neutral décor that allows you to truly make the space your own.

Outside, the property enjoys a large private garden and patio area, ideal for alfresco dining and enjoying the surrounding countryside views. With its single-level layout, energy-efficient features, and refined finish, this home perfectly combines modern convenience with classic rural charm.

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-exposed beams, stonework, and vaulted ceilings - 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 breathtaking. The properties sit against the backdrop of the Mendip Hills' Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), offering panoramic views, fresh country air, and endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors. Alongside this 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.
