Description
Now boasting a modern interior and stylish design features, it also retains many of its original features as well. A large extension was added 25 years ago, creating an impressive voluminous reception room with high vaulted ceilings, that echo the original building’s history. This room is the main entertaining space of the house, with a bespoke Bath stone fireplace and Chesney wood burning stove, and is complimented by a smaller more intimate family room at the opposite end of the property, also with a Chesney wood-burner, that opens into a garden room taking in the views over the garden and countryside. The kitchen / breakfast room is in the centre of the house and is fitted to a high standard with granite topped work surfaces, Smeg gas hob and modern appliances. Furthermore there is a pantry, utility room, cloakroom and the all-important home office / study with wood panelling, original oak beams and an ultrafast fibre broadband connection.
The first floor accommodation comprises of a large open landing, principal bedroom with an abundance of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, 3 further double bedroom, all of which have views of the valley, and a family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. There is also an airing cupboard and storage in the insulated and boarded loft that runs the length of the house.

Outside
One of the highlights of this exceptional family home are the beautiful gardens and grounds. On arriving at the property via the secure electric gates you are led to the paved driveway providing ample parking for multiple cars, and a detached double garage with electric shutters and barn-style doors.
From most of the main rooms of the house there is access to the large rear patio, from which you can take in the fabulous views of the River Chew and the valley beyond. There is a second raised patio adjacent to the swimming pool, perfect for outdoor entertaining and summer parties, as well as a more private summerhouse and adjacent greenhouse with a further patio area.
A number of well-placed mature trees and well- stocked herbaceous borders surround the beautiful landscaped gardens that burst with colourful flowers and plants. The gardens then continue with large lawned areas, productive vegetable plot, raised beds and a garden shed. The lower section of the garden provides a further lawned area and is protected by mature trees that offer an air of peaceful seclusion.
Situation
The Old Barn is wonderfully situated in an elevated positon overlooking the River Chew and the bucolic rolling hills and countryside beyond, whilst also being a gentle stroll to the numerous amenities the town has to offer. Tracing its history back originally to prehistoric times, then a Roman settlement and later a medieval market town, Keynsham is now a thriving community, with all the major facilities one would look for such as supermarkets including a Waitrose, restaurants, coffee shops and pubs. There are good schools locally for all age groups, including the well regarding Broadlands and Wellsway Schools. Keynsham Railway station is only a 0.7 mile walk from the house, providing rail links to Bristol Temple Meads, Bath Spa, and from there you can reach London Paddington. Keynsham Cricket Club is just opposite the house, plus Keynsham Memorial Park is also nearby offering well-maintained parkland of some 26 acres and hosting many local community events throughout the year.
