Stable environment in barn conversion

This fantastic detached five bedroom barn conversion sits in an idyllic location on the edge of the Mendip Hills

The Old Parlour occupies a wonderful position, nestled in the countryside on the edge of the Mendip Hills; equidistant between the villages of Oakhill and Stoke St Michael. The property benefits from level paddocks, eight stables and a manège.

The property was rebuilt and extended in 2005, but has been refurbished in the last few years by the current owners. The lateral accommodation provides versatile modern family living space, with a stylish and homely feel.

From the spacious reception hall, at the heart of the house is the impressive light and airy open plan kitchen/ dining/ family room. The bespoke wooden kitchen is inspired by the overhead beams which contrast with the white walls and appliances. The rustic AGA and kitchen island retain a stylish aesthetic whilst keeping things practical.

There are two sets of double doors leading out to the large sun terrace where you can enjoy the countryside views over your land and beyond. There is plenty of space for entertaining guests, al fresco dining or a kick about with the kids.

From here is the fabulous drawing room with a wood burner, leading through to the dual aspect master bedroom suite, with dressing room or bedroom five and a modern bathroom. The end of the house could be used as a private living quarter as it is separate from the rest of the rooms.

At the other end the house is the large sitting room or playroom with double doors to the side garden and three further double bedrooms all of which are ensuite. There is also a utility room and cloakroom which completes this bungalow’s accommodation.

The property is approached via a long private sweeping drive, where there is ample parking for several vehicles, in addition to the double carport. The mature gardens are mainly laid to lawn with deep herbaceous beds, shrubs and trees, as well as a feature pond. There is a sheltered walled garden and terraces at the front and rear of the house.

There are two stable blocks with a total of eight stables and an allweather school. The level paddocks are located to the front, side and rear of the house, enclosed by post and rail fencing and mature hedges.

This house is incredibly versatile with great family elements as well as being perfect for retirement with no stairs to worry about. This house is a real find.

Its setting adds to the charm of the property, with a thriving village community and several popular pubs close by. Village amenities include a doctor’s surgery, church and recreation ground.

The house is on the market with a guide price of £1,250,000. Contact the agent Knight Frank on 01225 325999 to arrange your viewing.
