Wells 6.6miles, Castle Cary 8.5miles, Glastonbury 9miles, Bath 20miles, Bristol 23miles.

Summary
A unique and lofty barn conversion in a wonderfully quiet rural location on the outskirts of the popular village of Pilton.

The house provides fabulous characterful accommodation including an entrance hall, kitchen, separate breakfast room, a principal bedroom, shower room, sitting room, dining room, 2 further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a useful and versatile loft room.

Outside there is a gravelled pathway and courtyard to the front and at the back an enclosed, lawned and terraced garden. In addition, there is ample car parking and a single garage.

Location

The ancient and historic village of Pilton boasts a splendid 11th century church, a 14th century tithe barn and many period houses and cottages.
According to legends this is where Joseph of Arimathea entered Britain. It is now internationally famous for its festival (with tickets provided to the residents). It's certainly, and justifiably, one of the most popular villages in the area with a very active and friendly community and a wide range of activities and amenities. These include the church, pub, village hall, nursery and preschool, community orchard and recreation ground.

East Town Lane is an extremely attractive and quiet lane that runs east from Pilton to the A37, which provides excellent access to Castle Cary.
Wells, Castle Cary and Glastonbury are all within easy reach.

Accommodation

Set over various staggered floors the accommodation is truly unique with split levels, mezzanines and towering triple and double height ceilings.
Two large part glazed doors open to a paved entrance hall. Straight ahead is the kitchen which has fitted units, a gas hob, eyelevel double oven and integrated units including a fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher. There is also a double ceramic sink and extractor and a part glazed exterior door leads to the rear garden.
To the right of the entrance hall you will find the principal bedroom which also has French doors to the rear garden. Next to this is a fully tiled shower room and a large built in coat cupboard.

The entrance hall leads to a breakfast room which has stairs that rise to the lofty sitting room. This is a very glamourous, triple aspect, double height room, with exposed roof timbers and beams above, dominated by a magnificent fireplace, currently fitted with a gas stove. The split-level design of the space means you overlook the breakfast room below. Double, glazed French doors provide access to the rear garden and stairs lead up to the dining area. This also overlooks the breakfast room and the sitting room. It has exposed pine floorboards, in keeping with the pine stairs and balustrades. The floorboards continue to the landing area where there are two further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.

Behind a discrete door, a further flight of stairs leads to the loft room which could be an office or additional children's bedroom. There is access to plenty of loft storage from here and there are additional fitted storage cupboards throughout the property.

Outside

The house is a semidetached barn conversion converted in 2001. Approached from the car parking area, up steps through a gravel courtyard or from the lane through an attractive pedestrian gate.

To the front is a large, walled, gravelled courtyard which is south and west facing with plenty of space for tables and chairs. To the rear is a large lawned garden surrounded by mature shrubs. This area is enclosed and would be perfect for children and pets. There are various terraced areas in the rear garden and a wonderful mature beech tree provides shade. There is plenty of parking and each property has a single garage.
