This stunning Grade II listed barn conversion occupies a 1.3-acre plot within Petherton Park, an attractive area of farmland and woodland located on the edge of North Petherton and conveniently placed for the M5 motorway.
The substantial property, named Manor House Barn, dates back to the 17th Century when it formed part of the original farm buildings associated with the neighbouring Manor House. In the early 2000s, it was sympathetically converted into a comfortable four-bedroom dwelling and has retained a wealth of charm, character and original features, including exposed beams and stone feature walls. These period features sit well next to the property’s more modern additions that create a welcome level of comfort and a flattering look with contemporary touches such as oak doors and wooden flooring.
Inside, on the ground floor, there is a pleasant living room with an attractive fireplace housing a wood burner, exposed ceiling beams and two sets of picture windows overlooking the courtyard garden. The stunning kitchen/breakfast room is a particular highlight of the property with its extensive range of cream-coloured units, granite worktops, integrated Neff appliances and a larder/pantry cupboard with double doors. The room is further enhanced by its attractive island with a solid oak worktop, ceiling beams and exposed brickwork. From the kitchen, double doors lead into the dining room with further doors opening to a covered patio area outside.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, a smart family bathroom and a separate shower room. The principal bedroom suite has built-in wardrobes, a Juliet balcony and an ensuite bathroom.
Outside, the generous grounds extend to 1.3 acres and include attractive gardens, an orchard and a neighbouring paddock. The garden has a pleasant courtyard enclosed with mature hedges and variety of trees, while the remainder of the outside space consists of an area of lawn and a pretty orchard filled with pear, plum, quince and apple trees.
Within the courtyard area, there is a driveway, laid with slate chippings, that provides parking space for several cars.
