Quote Reference NF0664 To Arrange Your Viewing

Willow Barn, tucked away along a country lane in the highly regarded village of Priston. Surrounded by open fields and nature you can unwind and enjoy the best of rural living yet you are only a short drive away to the bustling cities of Bath and Bristol. 

Formerly a haybarn and bull pen of the local farm before being converted in 1990 to create this rather individual home fusing character features with modern technology and function, the present owners have extended and enhanced to very high standards creating a beautiful home to match its idyllic surroundings. There is scope here to convert the garage into more living accommodation and my vendor has looked at the opportunity of adding a second dwelling towards the end of the garden, all subject to the necessary consents.

This five bedroom link detached residence has been created over two inviting floors maximising light, space and views that I believe you will enjoy as you find your way around this home. 

The main entrance central to the barn, has a beautiful oak floor welcoming you in with its warm honey colour, to the left is a cloakroom before stepping up into a kitchen, breakfast room with a wonderful bespoke solid wood kitchen with granite work tops and island, plenty of room for multiple cooks, the stable door allows free flow of air and is often used day to day as the main access. To the side of the same style and finish is a utility room which also gives access to the garden and double garage soon after. 

On the opposite of the hall the space really opens up and your senses will be evoked by the large triple glazed arch windows, cleverly updated giving an abundance of light and views whilst retaining the form of yesteryears barn doors,  the room opens with an inglenook fire place with large wood burner, oak flooring with underfloor heating. This room seamlessly flows into the Garden Room, outlooks on all aspects with Bi-folding doors inviting you out onto the patio and gardens. 

There is a study off the living room with another beautiful arched window and exposed stone walls, a great place to work peacefully. There is also a Den/Bedroom five, a versatile room with a door onto the garden.

Ascending the first floor, those large arched windows continue to flood light in. Here you will discover no less than four further bedrooms and a sumptuous bathroom. To the end of the landing is the main bedroom which has plenty of room, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom positioned over the garden room has a vaulted ceiling, windows to three aspects, you can enjoy views along the garden and across the hills. This room is a wonderful space for whomever is lucky enough to gain it! The third bedroom is double sized with a large cupboard. The fourth bedroom is charming as a spacious single bedroom. The bathroom suite with black marble has a four piece suite perfect for family lifestyles. 

Stepping outside you have over half an acre of gardens surrounding you to enjoy, enclosed by stonewalls and hedgerows. The lower garden is a level lawn with a patio area, towards the end, is a range of fruit trees, including several apple varieties, pears and plums. To the side is a woodland area of mainly deciduous trees, a wonderful area with a seating area with a fire pit, a tree house and a large wooden shed. There is an adjoining chicken coup, plus water supply. You can immerse yourself in country living creating your own food supplies or simply enjoy the natural surrounds. 

The frontage has a stone wall, with deep borders of flowers and shrubs. There is a pea gravel driveway for four cars with an EV charging point, plus a double garage behind a single garage door. This space could be considered  for more accommodation with a water and electric supply, such as an annexe/gym/office subject to gaining the consents that could be needed. The roof has Solar Panels that produce electricity for the household and excess is sold back to the local power company.
