Stairs rise from the sitting room to the four bedrooms on the first floor, the principal of which lies to the front of the house and along with lovely views across the fields, also benefits from an ensuite shower room with cubicle, WC and basin. The three further bedrooms are all of a good size and share the use of a well appointed family bathroom with tongue and groove panelling, bathtub, WC and basin.

The traditional cottage style gardens and pond lie mainly to the rear and are well stocked with a variety of flowering borders, mature shrubs, climbers and trees, providing year-round interest and colour. A useful timber shed provides storage towards the end of the garden. Along with a lawned area, a sizeable terrace sits directly off the kitchen with a small gate providing access to the side driveway with parking for several cars. The garage has been converted into a spacious and very comfortable home office, complete with power and lighting, that could also serve a multitude of alternative functions.
The delightful village of Barton St David lies in some of the most beautiful countryside in the south west. This rural landscape has changed little in recent years, much of it being designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dairy farming predominates, with quiet lanes winding through the gently undulating landscape. The cider apple orchards for which this area is renowned are commonplace and add to the evocative nature of this special part of the country. The village, with an active community, has a church, village hall and public house and is between the larger villages of Keinton Mandeville and Butleigh, each of which have village shops and primary schools. Barton St David is surrounded by the towns of Somerton, Castle Cary (main line rail link to London, Paddington), Street, Glastonbury and Yeovil, providing a plethora of sporting and cultural opportunities.
SPORTING & RECREATION
The area is well provided for with bridleways, quiet lanes and footpaths. There is fishing and sailing (by permit) at Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury and Taunton. Theatres in Bath, Street, Glastonbury, Wells, Bristol and Salisbury. The Newt Country Estate and Hauser and Wirth at Bruton are also an easy drive.
EDUCATION
The area is particularly well known for its schools with Millfield, Millfield Prep and Strode College outside Glastonbury, Hazelgrove at Sparkford, Wells Cathedral, the Sherborne, Bruton and Taunton schools, along with Downside, all within easy reach.
