Description
The Barn offers the opportunity to create a spacious, detached family home located in the rural hamlet of Dean between Frome and Shepton Mallet. The Barn benefits from a super location with access to the adjoining countryside and walks via a network of footpaths and bridleway, yet has excellent road access to the A361 making commuting straight forward.
Planning consent was granted on 31st July 2015 (Planning reference 2015/1227/FUL) to convert the barn and provide an extension to the existing footprint. Works have commenced on site which include works to the external walls, underpinning and the laying of the raft foundations all of which has been signed off by the Building Inspector.
The proposed accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises an open plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, study, playroom and utility room on the ground floor. The first floor will offer three bedrooms, one with an ensuite, an office and family bathroom. The master bedroom has been designed with full length windows at the far end which will make the most of the surrounding rural aspect.
Outside
To the side of the barn lies an elevated garden area which is currently laid to lawn and will provide a private space for the house. There is space to the front of the barn to provide off road parking.
The mobile home will stay on site but please be aware that consent has not been granted for it to be occupied.
Completion
Completion has been set for Thursday 18th December 2025 or earlier by arrangement.
Local Council
Somerset Council (Mendip Area)

Registering to bid and Administration fee
Cooper and Tanner require all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1395 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.
