DESCRIPTION
Built in the mid 1800s as a model dairy farm and converted in 2002, this outstanding barn conversion sits on the edge of the popular village of Wookey Hole, with sensational views and secluded large plot. In brief the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room/games room, large kitchen/dining/family room, utility room, WC and first floor bedroom, three further double bedrooms one with dressing room and ensuite, indoor endless swimming pool. The layout is very spacious and flexible and could therefore be configured to suit a variety of needs. To the right of the large entrance hallway, with flag stone floor and vaulted ceiling, the sitting room/snug is dual aspect with French doors opening out to the garden and a large wood-burner with stone surround for the colder months. The sitting room leads to a large reception room, currently used by our vendors as a snooker room, but could equally be ideal for a more formal dining room or further sitting room/family room. From here up a short staircase, the expansive and open plan kitchen/dining/family room really is the ultimate in luxury living, with ample room for a well-equipped, bespoke oak fitted kitchen with granite worktops and central island. This light southerly aspect room has plenty of space for a large dining table as well as further seating areas, and with the addition of a wood burner style gas fire with natural stone surround, this is a wonderful space to enjoy and entertain throughout the seasons. Three sets of French doors lead out from here to a wonderful south facing raised terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining throughout the warmer months or just relaxing and taking in the beautiful countryside views on offer. A useful utility with WC sits off the kitchen and has a door out to the garden. A staircase leads up to a very good size double bedroom, currently used as a hobby room. It also has an external staircase into the garden, so would be considered ideal for a study/office/annex space, having separate access to the main house. The further bedroom accommodation is to be found to the left on the entrance hall and has two good size doubles, one with access out to the courtyard and a family bathroom alongside. The master suite lies to the end of the hallway and is simply stunning, with a walk in dressing room off, ensuite and French doors leading out to a private decked area of the garden and this room is large enough to have its own seating area, a wonderful space to retire to at the end of the day.
