A further ensuite bathroom is fitted with a large shower cubicle, vanity unit, bathtub and WC. A further single bedroom/study with full-length windows and recessed shelving completes the layout on this floor. Two of the bedrooms have excellent, bespoke fitted wardrobes.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a communal driveway which opens to a private parking area outside the property. There is space for two cars here and a further space under a covered archway. A five-bar wooden gate leads to the useful studio / home office and garden beyond.
These charming gardens are mainly to the rear and side of the house, with an area of lawn bounded to the south by a stone wall, with steps and little footbridge which runs over a river. This south-facing rear garden is a true sun-trap and provides a wonderful vista of the unspoilt Somerset country and soothing sounds of running water. The gardens are well-stocked and include a variety of mature shrubs and flowering plants such as Fox Gloves, Salvia, Lavender, Viburnum, Mahonia and Euphorbia. The old water mill plays a key role in providing a focal point alongside a pretty Crab Apple tree with beautiful blossom. In the corner of the garden is a good-sized shed and the detached studio, with glass front door would make an excellent home office, studio or even occasional fourth bedroom.
The lasting impression is of a beautifully presented barn conversion in a delightful setting, surrounded by unspoilt countryside, on the edge of this idyllic English country village.
LOCATION
Compton Pauncefoot must be one of the prettiest villages in this particularly beautiful part of the South West. The surrounding lands have been in the ownership of the Compton Castle Estate for many years and have thus remained unspoilt. This careful stewardship has resulted in a village that retains its intrinsic architectural character, comprising as it does period houses built of the local honey coloured stone. The rolling countryside is mainly natural farmland; this is the Vale of Camelot, so called as nearby Cadbury Castle was reputedly home to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Much of this area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in which a policy of strict planning controls operates to preserve its rural character. The village with its splendid 15th century Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is well placed for easy access to Castle Cary, Wincanton and Sherborne, all market towns with a good range of shops. The A303 (dual carriageway almost the whole distance to the M3) is nearby and there are mainline railway stations at Castle Cary (Paddington about 90 minutes) and Templecombe (about 5 ½ miles away. Waterloo is about 2 ¼ hours.
Sporting and Recreation
There are numerous golf courses within easy motoring distance including Sherborne and Yeovil. Racing at Wincanton, Salisbury, Bath and Exeter. Water sports on the Dorset coast (about 30 miles) or on Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil. Riding and walking on an extensive network of bridleways and footpaths. Theatres at Bath, Taunton and Salisbury. The Newt country estate and Hauser & Wirth are close by in Bruton and provide further cultural opportunities.
Education
The area is particularly noted for the high quality of its schools including independent schools such as Sherborne School for Girls, Sherborne School for Boys, Sherborne Preparatory School, Hazelgrove, Port Regis, Leweston and Bruton Schools, along with highly regarded state schools at Sherborne and Gillingham.
