Description
Tucked away at the edge of Compton Dundon and reached along a private, gated courtyard, sits this substantial Somerset barn conversion which has been comprehensively renovated by the current owners over the past year, turning an already handsome barn conversion into one of the most complete family homes in the area.
Sitting under five minutes drive from Millfield school's gates - close enough for a lie-in before drop-off, for families whose lives revolve around Millfield, it is hard to imagine a more perfectly placed address than North Barn.
With five separate doors into the property, North Barn immediately offers a sense of a house built for real life. A striking reception hall, with its newly laid oversized porcelain floor tiles, and an open staircase rising past an exposed oak beam to the floors above is an impressive entrance. Set off the reception hall is a study and utility room with a new WC which add the everyday practicality that a busy family home depends on.
From here the ground floor keeps giving: a home cinema and games room, tucked beneath reclaimed beams, is built for wet weekends and film nights. Beyond sits a spacious living room, its tall arched glazing and the barn's original stone arches framing a wood burner that sets a tone both grand and genuinely liveable. This is a room for Sunday mornings with the papers as much as it is for entertaining, and it opens naturally into a kitchen/dining room that has been entirely reimagined by its current owners: shaker cabinetry in soft grey and navy central island, quartz worktops and a run of Neff smart appliances including a steam oven, a Quooker tap delivers boiling, chilled and filtered sparkling water on demand - the sort of convenience that makes the daily business of packed lunches and school-night suppers that much easier.
Beyond the kitchen sits a beautifully finished ground floor bedroom suite, complete with its own shower room, which is equally at home as accommodation for visiting grandparents, or older children wanting their own space. Separate access to this bedroom is provided from both the front and the rear of the property.
Upstairs, the current owners' most significant change reveals itself. Two of the first floor's original bedrooms have been combined and reimagined as a single, exceptionally private principal suite, complete with original beams, a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom. A section of the landing once closed off by a wall has been opened up, creating a joined-up, integrated first floor. Two further first floor bedrooms, both with newly fitted en suite bathrooms, together with an additional bedroom suite on the second floor, complete the sleeping accommodation. Every bathroom in the house, without exception, has been completely refitted with industrial-style Crosswater sanitaryware, giving the whole house a cohesive, contemporary finish.
Outside, family life continues in earnest. Stepping out of the dining room or games room to the rear of the property, reveals a sizeable south facing courtyard - an ideal retreat for morning coffee. To the front of the property, a separate stone barn is used as a private gym with its own steam room - no need for a gym membership or a drive after the school run - while the gardens have been landscaped with entertaining firmly in mind: a raised patio with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, a hot tub for evenings after sports fixtures, and a generous lawn bounded by blue lias stone walling, all within a gated setting that offers real privacy and security. A garage and further parking complete grounds of around 0.43 acres.
Compton Dundon itself is a quietly sociable village, its church, village hall and the well-regarded Castlebrook Inn giving it a genuine sense of community, with the market town of Somerton and the village of Street both close by for everyday shopping. But it is the school run that makes North Barn stand apart: with Millfield under five minutes away by car, this is an opportunity to buy not just an exceptional, beautifully renovated family home, but the daily convenience that so many families search for and so few ever find in one address.
