Description

7B BAKER STREET, BABCARY, SOMERTON, SOMERSET, TA11 7DU

An impressive four bedroom detached house, in a secluded no through lane position within the sought after village of Babcary. 

7b Baker Street perfectly balances characterful design and contemporary finishes, with accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, study, kitchen dining living room, utility, cloakroom, four double bedrooms, en-suite, and family bathroom. In addition there is immense scope to convert the loft too - subject to any necessary consents. 

The property stands centrally within it's own large plot, and enjoys extensive parking and a garden with countryside views. 

Accommodation
This beautifully designed modern home, completed in 2022 under a self-build project, is nestled in the picturesque village of Babcary. The property showcases a combination of traditional Blue Lias stone with oak lintels and modern aluminium-clad wooden windows, blending timeless elegance with contemporary comfort.

A striking oak-framed portico leads to a spacious hallway, featuring engineered oak woodblock flooring with underfloor heating. The oak-and-glass staircase creates a stunning centerpiece, with a practical under-stairs storage area and a conveniently located cloakroom fitted with a basin, WC, and extractor fan.

To the left of the hallway is a versatile office/study with a front-facing window. Opposite the hall there is a large sitting room, currently used as a playroom, offering flexible space with a front-facing window, side doors, and oak-framed glazed doors leading to the family living area.

The open-plan family space is the heart of the home, with a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring sleek wall and base units, a central island with white quartz countertops, and integrated appliances including a double oven and combination microwave. A breakfast bar, LED downlights, and elegant pendant lighting add to the room’s modern appeal. The dining and lounge areas flow seamlessly, with bifold doors opening to the rear garden.

A separate utility room provides additional functionality, accommodating laundry appliances, plumbing for a sink, and housing the air source heat pump system, underfloor heating manifold, and sprinkler controls. A side door offers convenient external access.

The first-floor landing is bright and spacious, with a front-facing window and ample storage. The partially converted loft is accessible from here, offering the potential for additional bedrooms and a bathroom if desired. 

The principal bedroom overlooks fields to the rear and includes a private ensuite with a walk-in shower, dual shower heads, a heated towel rail, WC, and basin. A small dressing room completes this retreat. The second and third bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles with pleasant views, while the fourth bedroom, also a double, offers flexibility for various uses. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, with a large walk-in shower, black-framed glass, a freestanding bath, WC, heated towel rail, and a generously sized basin unit with storage.

Outside
The rear garden features a gravelled patio and steps leading to a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature trees and raised beds. A south-facing gravelled area provides an ideal space for seating or a hot tub.

At the front, a substantial gravelled driveway offers ample parking and includes footings for a planned triple garage, for which permission has been granted. An air source heat pump and electric vehicle charging outlet (requiring final installation) complete the property’s modern amenities.

About the area
Babcary is one of Somerset's charming and historic villages set in beautiful countryside between Somerton, Glastonbury and Castle Cary. Recorded in the Domesday Book, it's an attractive small village bordering of the Sparkford Vale. The medieval church is close by where one of the earliest games of 'fives' was recorded. Elsewhere in the village is the Red Lion, an excellent pub and restaurant dating from the 17th century which is well renowned for superb food, and the well used Village Hall and playing fields. All these factors contribute to the friendly and active village community.
