3 Priory Barns, Barrington, Ilminster

Whether you're looking for a pied-a-terre in a picturesque village, or simply want a characterful home with a pretty outlook, this unique barn conversion is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Property - Perfect for those seeking something a little different, this delightful barn conversion boasts an inverted layout that creates a striking and generously proportioned open-plan living space on the first floor. Designed to make the most of the natural light, the layout delivers an immediate sense of space and impact as you climb the stairs. Further enhancing its appeal is the first-floor barn door, which can be opened on sunny days to enjoy a particularly special outlook. Forming part of a small collection of Grade II listed conversions, the property offers characterful, low-maintenance living in one of the area’s most sought-after villages, with Barrington Court and an abundance of countryside walks virtually on the doorstep.

Accommodation - You enter a generous entrance hall with stone flooring, where stairs rise to the galleried landing and the main living accommodation above. There is a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, along with latch doors leading to two double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is full of character and practicality, featuring French windows overlooking the garden, exposed brick and stonework, and ample built-in storage. It also enjoys a well-appointed en suite shower room with a contemporary suite, including a spacious shower with dual-head controls.

The second bedroom is also a double, offering thoughtfully designed storage with fitted wardrobes and additional cupboards above, along with further character features such as the original exposed stone quoins.

The main bathroom is particularly impressive, retaining much of its original charm while being stylishly updated. It features a modern white suite, including a double-ended back-to-wall bath, a separate generous shower enclosure and WC, all finished with crisp white tiling and a continuation of the travertine stone flooring.

On the first floor, the exceptionally spacious open-plan living area is a bright, airy dual-aspect space with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. To one side is a fully fitted contemporary white gloss kitchen, complete with electric hob, undercounter oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer.

This versatile space easily accommodates a large dining table, comfortable seating areas, and even a home office setup if required, making it highly adaptable to different lifestyles. A central woodburning stove provides a warm focal point and a cosy atmosphere during the colder months.

Outside - The property is accessed via a shared gravel driveway, which leads to two allocated parking spaces for The Hayloft, arranged one behind the other. Near the entrance to the driveway, a pedestrian gate opens into the front garden, which offers an unexpected sense of privacy and benefits from a sunny south-westerly aspect. Adjacent to the house, a gravelled and paved terrace creates an ideal suntrap for outdoor seating or al fresco dining, bordered by stone-edged flower beds and steps rising to the lawn. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging and fencing.
