The Property

Converted from a former barn in the 1980's this spacious home occupies a stunning rural location in the Blackdown Hills, with far reaching views and is only about 5 miles from Taunton and junction 25 of the M5 motorway.  The property comprises 2 detached single storey former  barns, which now provide a stunning 3 bedroom home of character, with a separate detached barn with a guest suite comprising bedroom and en suite shower room.  This building also incorporates a double garage and 2 store rooms, which, subject to the necessary consents, provide the potential to provide further accommodation if so required.  Situated between the barns is a courtyard garden which enjoys a wonderful southerly aspect.  The property is well presented, is double glazed and has oil-fired central heating. The guest annexe has electric heating.  The gardens and grounds extend to about 1.5 acres and include large expanses of lawn, a tennis court and a large driveway provides ample parking.

The accommodation 

The Kitchen/dining room, is very much the heart of the house and extends to over 30' and enjoys a lovely double aspect with a door affording direct access to the garden. The kitchen is well fitted and incorporates an oil-fired Rayburn. There is also a utility room with a further door opening to the garden. The sitting room is a well proportioned room with a vaulted ceiling and  fireplace with inset wood burning stove. It enjoys a triple aspect and stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The snug also enjoys a triple aspect and also has a wood burning stove.   There are 3 good sized double bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an en suite bath/shower room and access to a very useful loft store. There is also a separate family bathroom.

Annexe barn and outbuildings

This comprises a detached former barn which has been part converted to provide a large double bedroom with en suite shower room. This room is ideal as a guest suite, but could also be used as a home office.  Subject to the usual consents, there is the potential to incorporate the adjacent store room and create a self-contained annexe. This barn also incorporates a further store room/workshop and double garage.

Gardens and Grounds

Situated between the barns is a courtyard garden which enjoys a lovely southerly aspect and a high level of privacy. Adjacent to the courtyard can be found a summer house.  Large expanses of lawn surround the property and there are stunning views over the adjacent farmland towards the Quantocks and Thurlbear wood.  There is also a hard surfaced tennis court and a small pond with adjacent area of decking.  In all the grounds extend to about 1.5 acres.

Situation

The Farmyard occupies a stunning rural location within the Blackdown Hills, which have been designated a National Landscape.  They provide miles of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for those with walking and riding interests.  The nearby Thurlbear Wood is part-owned by the Somerset Wildlife Trust and is an ancient woodland and designated a site of scientific interest.  Whilst enjoying a delightful rural location the property is by no means isolated as Taunton and the M5 motorway are about 5 miles away.  Nearby can be found two popular pubs, The Farmers Arms at West Hatch and The Greyhound at Staple Fitzpaine. The nearby village of Thurlbear has a highly regarded primary school.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
