Wellow, Bath, Somerset, BA2

A spacious and versatile barn conversion quietly tucked away within the idyllic village of Wellow.

Description

This spacious and versatile barn conversion was converted in the late 1990s and now offers in excess of 4,000 sq ft of accommodation, set within gardens and grounds extending to just over half an acre. Built of attractive local stone beneath a tiled roof, the property provides flexible living space together with the potential to create additional accommodation within the existing footprint, subject to the necessary permissions.

The accommodation is arranged with the principal living space and principal bedroom suite set over two floors, while the remaining bedrooms occupy a single storey wing, which in turn connects to the triple garage and offers potential for additional accommodation.

The main living space comprises a welcoming entrance hall with a utility room and ground floor bath and shower room leading off. There is a spacious kitchen, which opens via a step down into a breakfast room, together with a dining room overlooking the gardens and a first floor sitting room with views down into the dining area. The sitting room also benefits from a feature inset wood burning stove and attractive garden views through the tall windows.

The bedrooms are arranged with the principal bedroom suite on the first floor, benefitting from an en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. On the ground floor, there are three further double bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a guest shower room.

In addition, there is internal access to the triple garage, workshop and boarded loft storage above. This area in turn leads to a further section of the property which, subject to the necessary permissions, could be incorporated to create a useful annexe with its own independent access.

Overall, this delightful home offers significant potential and presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise it to their own requirements.
