Located on a 120-acre working farm, this superb barn conversion is a fabulous country escape for couples, friends or a family. It’s dog friendly too, and welcomes up to four canine companions for exhilarating walks in the surrounding Blackdown Hills Area Of National Beauty or for trips to Devon, Somerset and Dorset. Guests are welcome to explore the lush pastures grazed by sheep or enjoy the numerous footpaths nearby. You’re also invited to book a guided farm tour with the owner, meeting lambs in spring and seeing goats and horses. For golfers, there’s a club at Cricket St Thomas, 9 miles away, while beach lovers can head to the Jurassic Coast and visit the seaside towns of Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Seaton, all within 25 miles. The charming towns of Ilminster, Chard and Taunton are all less than 10 miles away if you fancy a bit of retail therapy. Step inside this beautifully renovated former farm building and kick off your walking boots in the hall. High, pitched ceilings, pale walls and parquet floors give the interior a calm and elegant feel throughout. The open-plan living space feels wonderfully bright and welcoming, with comfortable seating and a Smart TV in the lounge area, from which there are superb views through the bi-fold patio doors. A high-quality kitchen wraps around two walls, with painted Shaker-style cupboards and a deep ceramic sink, equipped with everything the keen cook could need, including a microwave and dishwasher. The dining table completes this lovely space. Head through the hall to discover the two handsome bedrooms, each of which has an en-suite shower room. For versatility, the twin bedroom (with two 3’ beds) can be made up as a super-king-size on request; this room also has the advantage of French doors that open onto the patio. For fresh air and outdoor fun, you’ll benefit from your own large, enclosed garden, with a patio that boasts comfortable outdoor furniture and a BBQ. There’s a handy dog wash for cleaning your pups after a muddy walk, and, what’s more, your four-pawed pals can run and play safely in the site’s secure 4-acre dog park, which has an agility area, mature trees for shade, drinking water bowser for dogs, and benches to enjoy the heavenly views over the Vale of Taunton to the rolling hills of the Quantocks beyond. There’s ample private parking at this property.
