Description

Property Description: Guide Price £500,000 - £550,000. Formerly the old stables, this unique barn conversion is full of character features. Light and bright and with generous accommodation, this property has been refurbished to the point that the buyer can add the finishing touches to make this property your own. With most of the bedrooms on the ground floor and potentially a large fourth bedroom/annexe on the second floor, this property offers versatility and would suit a range of new owners including a family, someone looking for an income, multigenerational living, or down-sizers needing additional accommodation.

Throughout the property there are notable and interesting features such as exposed 'A' frame beams, oak columns, ledge and brace doors and artisan joinery with attention to detail being key in the conversion from stables to beautiful home. The orientation of the property means that most of the rooms are south facing. The windows are large and plentiful and with the addition of roof lights in the hallways there really is never a 'dull day' in this property.

The kitchen/breakfast room and living room are adjacent to each other and both have vaulted ceilings and overlook the beautiful garden. The kitchen, with tiled floor, is a good size and has base units and a breakfast bar as well as plenty of space for a large dining table and sofa. There is scope to enhance the kitchen to your taste and requirements. There is a door to the garden from the kitchen but you might need to duck! The living room is well proportioned and has a feature fireplace, complete with flue that is ready to take a wood burning stove. It has a boarded floor ready for your choice of flooring.

The stone tiled hallway runs from the front door across the back of the old stables and links all the rooms, the annexe part of the property and the bathroom and WC together. There is also space and plumbing in the inner hall to create a utility room.

There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor, with the principal bedroom being at the far end of the house having an en-suite shower room, vaulted ceiling and a series of three quarter length portrait windows looking out to the garden.

Off the inner hallway and through the solid ash ledge and brace door and you are through to the area of the house that can be used as a third and forth reception room, work from home space, ancillary accommodation or could be separated and made into a 1 bed annexe as it has a separate entrance. This part of the property does require an amount of finishing off but all first fixing has been completed so it is a blank canvas for someone to finish as they would want it. The separate entrance comes from the lane at the back of the property and just outside there is an area that can be used to park a car. The downstairs room is 'L' shaped with windows to the west and north. The stair case leads up to the most amazing room with a large gable window at one end and a bank of windows on the southern end. This is an impressive room and is large enough to divide into two rooms if desired.

Outside: The garden is walled on either side with a fence boundary to the south with mature trees (variegated maple, apple trees, plum and cherry) and hedging giving the feeling of seclusion and privacy. The entrance from the lane (which then turns into a footpath) is via a double five bar gate onto a drive way which has at the end, foundations for a double garage. The garden comes complete with its own private water supply for watering your roses or vegetable patch. Attached to the house is the old privy, which is now used for garden storage.

Location: Westbury Sub Mendip is a small rural village, located just 4 miles from Wells on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fabulous community run village store with a café in the garden at the rear in which to meet friends or have a coffee. There is a popular village school as well as walks on your doorstep along the now disused railway line that ran through the village. The Strawberry Line (as it is known), is now a popular cycle route linking this southern side of the Mendips from Yatton to Wells and beyond. There are numerous fruit and vegetable market stalls found along this popular route in Draycott and Rodney Stoke towards Cheddar, offering you the opportunity to buy from a local producer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous why not try the Mendip Gliding Club for spectacular views as you soar over the Somerset Levels from just above Draycott Steep or further walks right on the doorstep up through the Mendips and beyond including the impressive Cheddar Gorge.

An easy drive to Wells and Cheddar with the benefit of regular bus services and only a short drive to Bristol Airport (approx. 12 miles).
