Main Street, Ash, Martock, Somerset, TA12

A fabulous three bedroom Hamstone barn conversion with large ground floor accommodation, landscaped and well-manicured gardens, tandem length garage and driveway parking. Popular village location.



Located on the fringe of sought after Ash, The Old Wagon House comprises a spacious barn that was originally converted in the mid 1980’s.

The property offers generous accommodation, with a particularly impressive ground floor layout designed for both comfort and entertaining.

From the large and welcoming hallway, steps lead down to a most impressive sitting room, full of character and charm, providing an inviting setting with ample space for seating and relaxation. This is complemented by a well-appointed dining room, ideal for both formal dining and family gatherings, with a natural flow between the main living spaces. With a shower room off, this room could happily be used as a ground floor bedroom suite if needed.

The kitchen/breakfast room is thoughtfully arranged and offers a range of fitted units, ample work surfaces, a Rayburn, integrated twin ovens, an induction hob and space for everyday dining. Its layout makes it both practical and sociable. Further flexibility is provided by the study/home office/hobbies room which could be used as an additional reception room. A useful utility area, shower room and cloakroom/WC add to the practicality of the layout.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from built-in storage. These rooms are serviced by a modern family shower room (formerly a bathroom) which boasts underfloor heating. The landing also provides additional storage space and access to a balcony, offering an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy the surrounding views.
