A charming rural retreat set in an attractive plot with adjoining paddock, totalling 4.58 acres.


The unique Tibbs Barn enjoys a delightful situation in Henley, a quiet hamlet near to Langport. The home has been tastefully renovated in recent years by the current owners and offers a pleasant rural haven.
The property is accessed from the rear via the solid hardwood door which leads into the kitchen, which enjoys electric underfloor heating. Recently updated with a smart range of wall and base units with worktops and upstands over, eye-level electric oven with wall mounted extractor over, ceramic 5-ring hob, stainless steel sink, integrated dishwasher and space & plumbing for a washer/dryer. The kitchen leads through into the living/dining room – a light, open space full of character. The dining area is a mix of concrete & flagstone flooring and features shelving across the length of one wall. The sitting area is laid to solid oak flooring and hosts a large wood burner with attractive Lias stone hearth, set against a feature Lias stone wall. A couple of steps lead up to a set of glazed hardwood patio doors that concertina the whole way across to open up to the patio, which creates a highly social space, perfect for entertaining. An open set of oak stairs lead from the sitting/dining room up to the first floor, which is laid with further solid oak flooring throughout and hosts a handy cupboard and loft hatch on the landing. Upstairs are two large double bedrooms, both featuring vaulted ceilings, character beams and a dual aspect, with attractive views to either side over paddocks and greenery. The bathroom is fitted to a high standard; tiled throughout with electric underfloor heating and featuring a suite of bath with shower over, WC, hand basin with mirrored medicine cabinet, bidet and towel rail.
Independent of the main barn is a large, traditionally built and timber clad double garage with higher than usual electric roller doors, fully equipped with power and lighting, and a solid concrete floor. Adjacent to this is a breakfast room/lobby laid with LVT flooring and fitted with a handful of base units with solid wooden worktops and ceramic Belfast sink with grooved drainers. A handy corner cupboard and further cupboard under the stairs offer ample storage. The stairs rise to a hobby room which runs the length of the building and also features a small shower room with cubicle, WC, hand basin within vanity and mirrored cabinet. The room enjoys countryside views from either side.

The village is readily accessible, being just four miles from the town of Langport The larger regional centres of Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and Street are all within reasonable driving distance, each offering extensive facilities. There are mainline rail links at Taunton, Yeovil and Castle Cary. The M5 Motorway can be accessed at Junction 25 Taunton and Junction 24 Bridgwater.

Externally, the patio to the rear stretches out towards the immediate garden, approximately a quarter of an acre in totality, with trees planted in various locations that provide structure and focal points with a large timber storage shed with double doors sat in the corner. Post and rail fencing creates a clear boundary between the garden and the remaining circa 4.28 acre paddock which extends North and West towards the Old River Cary. This paddock is currently maintained by a local farmer on an informal basis.
