Property description

Superb recently renovated 3 double bedroom detached barn, dating back to 1738, offering light and airy accommodation and set in a good sized plot with views across neighbouring countryside.

The Barn at Lamyatt is a historic former barn with many interesting features that sits perfectly in an ancient landscape and superb semi-rural setting surrounded by its mature gardens with views over the adjoining countryside. Dating from 1738 it originally was a flax-drying barn and was sympathetically modernised with additions to provide living accommodation whilst retaining character and charming features. It also has been recently re-modernised throughout to provide light and airy accommodation. The property is constructed of local Somerset stone with clay-tiled roofs and double-glazed windows throughout.

In brief the accommodation comprises entrance hall with stone tiled floor with door to shower room having corner shower cubicle, basin, WC and towel radiator. Off the hall is a fully fitted kitchen which includes a gas and electric range, dish-washer, fridge/freezer, build in larder and work surfaces that open onto a dining/breakfast room and conservatory giving access to the garden. The utility room with its brand new oil-fired combi boiler provides house heating and there is provision for washing machine and tumble dryer with a window that looks over the shrubs in the rear garden to the adjoining fields.

Also leading from the hall is the main living room being dual aspect with exposed beams and large attractive stone set open fire. Three of the four large windows face south and west which allows most of the day's sunshine to flood in.

A staircase rises to the first floor with the bathroom directly ahead. Two of the three bedrooms leading off the landing benefit from built in storage, all with double glazed windows and new radiators. Above the landing covering approximately two thirds of the dwelling's floor area is an insulated loft space with hard flooring, making it a copious storage space or a readily convertible fourth bedroom, subject to the necessary planning permissions being sought.

To the side of the house sits a large detached double garage with doors to the front and a lean to garden store at the side. Subject to the relevant planning consents it could be put to a number of uses.

OUTSIDE The property is situated within its own mature gardens of approximately 1/4 acre of level lawns, mature fruit trees, shrubs and bushes. There is ample parking for several vehicles accessed through a five bar wooden gate and a detached double garage/workshop to one corner. The gardens and grounds are encompassed by hedging fencing and natural stone walling and offer wonderful countryside views across adjoining fields.

LOCATION The Barn at Lamyatt is located at the top end of the village deep in rural Somerset. Lamyatt is a small village only a few minutes drive from the historic market town of Castle Cary where there is a good range of shops and everyday business facilities as well as a mainline railway station with a regular fast link to Paddington. Shepton Mallet lies a few minutes by car to the north with its extensive shopping facilities. A number of the area's best known independent schools are within daily commuting distance including Hazlegrove, Millfield and the schools at Bruton and Sherborne. The A303 can be accessed to the south providing good connections to London and the south east via the M3/M25 route. There are golf courses at Sherborne, Wheathill and Yeovil, national hunt racing at Wincanton and Taunton and flat racing at Bath.
