Newton Court, Corfe, Taunton, Somerset

A truly incredible three double bedroom Grade II* Listed detached barn conversion, which is beautifully presented throughout, occupying a lovely position within a private complex. The building was converted in 2014 by Compass Construction LTD and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2015. You enter through the front door into the entrance hall with doors opening to the principal rooms, with an inner hallway with enchanting stonework walls and stairs rising to the first floor.

The impressive kitchen/dining room, which is light, airy and spacious, is located at the front of the house and benefits from a variety of shaker style base units with oak work surfaces over and inset ceramic sink. There are a range of integrated appliances, which includes a dishwasher, undercounter fridge and oven with four ring electric hob and hood over. The room enjoys exposed stonework and large windows to the front aspect, allowing lots of natural light to enter. There is room for a seating/dining area and a door opens to the utility room. In here, there are more wall and base units with work surface over, inset sink, space for a free-standing fridge/freezer, plumbing for washing machine and a newly fitted Gloworm combi boiler.

The Owners Love - The current owners have really enjoyed the open plan layout and sense of space. They have loved how versatile the barn has been over the past 9 years, having utilised it in many ways as their family have evolved. They particularly love “the open plan living room, which flows really nicely out into the garden for indoor/outdoor living in the summer months”. It has been perfect for them when they have had family or friends come to visit and is a wonderful home to entertain. They will mostly miss “the easy access to the Blackdown Hills” which is perfect for dog walks. The easy access to the M5 motorway at junction 25 has also being really beneficial.

The living room is situated to the rear of the home. There is a feature fireplace, installed with a wood burning stove, which gives the room a focal point and makes a lovely feature. This room once again boasts large windows to the rear aspect, stunning herringbone flooring and beautiful exposed original brickwork of the old barn. From here, there are French doors to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is galleried, with skylight windows overhead and with the exposed roof timbers within a vaulted ceiling creating a light and airy atmosphere. There are doors to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a fantastic size and benefits from an en-suite shower room, which is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and shower cubicle. The second and third bedrooms are again good sizes, both with floor to ceiling windows to the front aspect. The family bathroom is fitted with a heritage style four-piece suite, with a freestanding clawfoot bath, washbasin, WC and shower cubicle.

George Loves - “I was blown away by just how spacious the barn is! There is so much space and it is very versatile and can be utilised in so many ways. I also love the situation of the development and the tucked away spot. You can’t find many properties these days with this kind of secluded rural position, yet still so close to all the modern-day amenities and transport links. It makes this property really stand out as something extra special. An absolute must see house if you’re looking for something a bit individual!”

Outside, there is a lovely, wrap around garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn. There are two seating areas, one with a pergola an another with built in barbeque. The garden is all enclosed with hedging and fenced boarders, with a side gate providing access to the parking, with space for two vehicles just outside the barn. Extending beyond the boundaries of the barn, there is endless rolling countryside, which really just gives the development an exclusive and rural feel.
