Compton Mead, Barrow Gurney

Enjoying an unusually private setting, Compton Mead is a charming three-bedroom period cottage forming part of a historic terrace on Barrow Street, carefully restored in the early 20th century as part of a wider estate conservation scheme. The result is a home of real architectural integrity, where historic detail and timeless proportions have been thoughtfully preserved.

The cottage immediately enchants, with its mellow exterior, traditional porch and inviting sense of seclusion. Inside, the accommodation is rich in period features, including exposed beams, deep-set windows and a magnificent fireplace that forms the heart of the sitting room – a warm and atmospheric space perfectly suited to cosy evenings and relaxed entertaining.

The layout flows beautifully, with a traditional kitchen offering scope for modern living while remaining sympathetic to the cottage’s heritage. Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for family life, guests or home working, all enjoying a peaceful outlook and a strong connection to the surrounding countryside. A spacious bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, the garden feels wonderfully private and calm, with green views and a natural sense of enclosure that enhances the cottage’s idyllic setting. It is a space to unwind, garden gently, or simply enjoy the ever-changing seasons.

The property further benefits from allocated parking for two vehicles, located just a short walk away - a rare and valuable asset for a cottage of this nature.

What we love about the property...  We love the idyllic setting and timeless charm of this quintessential cottage, offering a wonderful sense of privacy, character and calm in a truly special village location.
