Clanville, Castle Cary, Somerset

The Old Cow Barn is a sleek, stunning detached barn conversion home with four bedrooms and more than 3,500 square feet of airy, contemporary accommodation. The accommodation is arranged mostly across a single sprawling level and features expansive reception rooms and entertaining areas, as well as beautifully appointed bedrooms designed for comfort and privacy.

The heart of the home is the cavernous, 44ft kitchen and dining room, which stretches from the front to the rear of the house and features a sloping ceiling which extends to double height at its highest point, helping to create a sense of space and light. Full-height doors and gable end windows at both ends of the room add to the airy feeling, while the room itself has a light, neutral colour palette and an exquisite, monochrome kitchen with minimalist-style fitted units, a central island, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances. There is also space for a large dining table and a seating area, while bi-folds open to connect to the generous reception room, creating an even more open, spacious layout. Southwest-facing sliding glass doors to both the reception room and the kitchen and dining room both open to the rear gardens, creating a connection to the outside and extending the entertaining space.

There are four double bedrooms, one currently used as a gym but equally suited as a home office or additional bedroom. Two of the bedrooms are en suite with shower rooms, while there is also a family bathroom with a bathtub and a large shower unit.

From the reception area, stairs lead to the upper level, where there is a galleried landing and access to substantial storage space, including a loft room and eaves storage. The space offers the potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

At the entrance to the home, security gates open onto the gravel driveway which provides plenty of parking space in front of the property. There are raised beds at the front with various young shrubs and trees, while at the rear, the gardens include a sunny patio area across the back of the house, with an area of lawn beyond, separated from the surrounding fields by wooden picket fencing. Beyond the garden is a paddock.
