This striking barn conversion occupies a position in the beautiful rural hamlet of Lower Chillington, just four miles north-west of Ilminster.
The spacious character home, named Stable Cottage, is beautifully presented inside with plenty of charm and offers spacious and versatile accommodation with scope for single-level living. One of the reception rooms could be used as a ground floor bedroom, while there is already a downstairs shower room.
Inside, the entrance hall makes a strong impression with its vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall and oak flooring. This leads to a very attractive dual-aspect living space, with oak flooring, picture windows and French doors overlooking the garden. A range of bespoke bookshelves and storage cupboards lines one end of the room, whilst at the opposite end the stairs lead up to the first floor. Beyond this room, there is another sitting room with a cosy look and a wood-burning stove.
The naturally light kitchen is a highlight of the house with its vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and exposed beams. The kitchen is fitted with a range of attractive cream shaker-style units, oak work surfaces and has several integrated appliances.
The former barn has an ideal layout for entertaining as all the main reception rooms have French doors that open to a private garden.
On the first floor, a spacious landing with overhead beams, cottage-style windows and oak latch doors leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite and finished with timeless stone-effect tiling.
The principal bedroom benefits from a south-facing picture window looking out over the grounds, a built-in double wardrobe and an attractive ensuite shower room.
There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, both with double built-in wardrobes.
Outside, a sheltered, private garden has been landscaped with a large patio, an area of lawn with borders and a central ornamental pond.
At the front, there is a pretty garden and a driveway with a parking area that leads to a substantial attached double garage and double carport.
