Lawrence Hill, Wincanton, BA9

Moonrakers is undoubtably a very special home indeed. Situated on the outskirts of the popular Somerset town of Wincanton yet close to Castle Cary and Bruton too.

Converted from a barn in the 1980's this wonderful property has been sympathetically modernised and extended over the years and now offers superb family accommodation and much more! There is a lovely house, separate three-bedroom annexe, swimming pool and pool house, mature gardens, and large pond. Moonrakers would suit a family, perhaps with a dependant relative or someone looking to run a small holding and achieve excellent income from holiday letting.

The main house is a stylish modern design with spacious rooms, most inviting for family living. There is a porch, welcoming entrance hall with floods of natural light. The quality new kitchen has a range of modern wall and base units, stone sink, central island with seating and fitted appliances. From the kitchen you have access to the utility room which has plenty of storage and plumbing for the washing machine, combination boiler and water softener unit. Adjoining this is a useful covered area - ideal for muddy boots! To the rear of the property is the snug with a wood burner - a really cosy room - perfect for movie nights with the family!

Also to the rear is a study or further bedroom - making this property highly versatile. There is a more formal sitting room - also with a recently fitted wood burner and adjoining this is a small library - it would be possible to combine these two rooms to provide one large sitting room.

Upstairs there is a galleried landing with a glass and oak frame - giving an ultra-modern feel to this space - also flooded with natural light. There are four double bedrooms - one ensuite and a spacious family bathroom.

Outside to the rear of the property there is a private garden area with covered seating area, large patio, raised herb garden and lawn. There are fruit cages, a woodshed, bicycle store and garage.

There is a gravel driveway and ample parking to the front, and this gives way to the rest of the gardens. There is an established hedge, and mature fruit trees. There is a large pond, stocked with fish, a bridge and summerhouse with large deck in front. All in all, Moonrakers sits in approximately 2.5 acres.

To the side of the main house is the annexe - this has planning permission for ancillary use and could provide a secondary income stream. It is a most comfortable three-bedroom detached barn conversion originally converted in 2004 and then extended in 2015 and would make ideal living space for a dependant relative. There is fitted kitchen, sitting room with wood burner and a shower room. The main bedroom has an ensuite and off the sitting room is a light garden room leading to a terrace with wonderful views.

Opposite the main house there is the pool house and swimming pool. This was built in 2017 and has been used for short term holiday lets. Open plan kitchen and living space and one double bedroom and shower room. The pool house is clad in timber and has a patio area. There is a decked seating area in front of the pool - perfect to while away those summer days!

Moonrakers also boasts a newly built (in 2021) barn. Measuring approximately 12m x 5m it has a steel frame, electric roller shutter door at the front and side pedestrian door. There is a mezzanine floor, storage area and office.

Properties like this are rare to the market. This home has so much to offer, not just for family living but also as a perfect home for that ever-elusive work/life balance. Moonrakers is beautifully presented throughout and is offered with no onward chain.
