Ask AgentOriginally converted from a traditional barn, this individual detached home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, successfully combining the character and charm of a period conversion with the practical requirements of modern family living.
A particular feature of the property is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, a superb space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke wooden units, complemented by granite work surfaces that provide ample storage and preparation space, alongside room for a dining table. A gas range cooker is also included in the sale. French doors open directly onto the secluded rear garden, creating a seamless connection between the house and it's outdoor space, whilst a further set of doors leads to a private courtyard garden at the front. These dual aspects allow plenty of natural light to fill the room throughout the day. The space is further enhanced by a striking inglenook-style fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove, which provides an impressive focal point and complements the character of the conversion.
The flexibility of the accommodation is further demonstrated by two additional reception areas. A well-proportioned lounge, featuring attractive wooden flooring, provides a comfortable second living space. Above the lounge is a stunning mezzanine gallery overlooking the room below. This distinctive feature enhances the sense of space and individuality synonymous with barn conversions. Leading from the lounge is a substantial study, a highly versatile room that could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, studio, hobbies room or snug, depending on an individual purchaser's requirements. Together, these spaces offer considerable flexibility and allow the property to adapt easily to a variety of lifestyles and family arrangements.
The remaining accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, served by a family bathroom and en suite facilities. The current owners have recently upgraded both the family bathroom and the principal bedroom en suite, which now feature stylish contemporary white suites, adding a modern finish to this characterful home.
The secluded rear garden adjoins the principal living accommodation and is accessed directly from the kitchen and living space, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden. Ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, the garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and features a charming "secret garden" area, thoughtfully positioned to provide a particularly secluded seating space away from the main garden.
In contrast, the attractive courtyard area to the front offers an alternative place to sit and relax, whilst also providing an appealing approach to the property's main entrance.
Meare is a popular Somerset village enjoying an accessible yet rural setting between Glastonbury, Street and Wedmore. The village benefits from a well-regarded primary school, a pop up Farm shop and a strong sense of community, whilst the neighbouring towns of Glastonbury and Street provide an extensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities.
The village is particularly well placed for commuters, with easy access to the M5 motorway. The neighbouring village of Westhay is home to The Bird, a recently refurbished and increasingly popular village pub.
