Description
A great value village home in one of our most sought after villages, with comfortable well-presented accommodation, off-road parking and a private garden, all within easy reach of village facilities, the NT Barrington Court grounds and a myriad of countryside footpaths.
The Property - This delightful three-bedroom end of terraced house is located in the picturesque village of Barrington. Built in a cottage style, this modern property offers a blend of comfortable living spaces, a peaceful garden, and a prime location.
Accommodation - Upon entering through the UPVC part-glazed front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hall with convenient downstairs cloakroom and useful storage space for coats and everyday essentials.
The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property and is fitted with a range of units offering excellent storage and generous worktop space. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, electric oven and four-ring hob with stainless steel extractor hood, while there is also space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. The Grant oil-fired boiler is also housed within the kitchen.
The generous sitting room is filled with natural light, with patio doors opening directly onto the garden and creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Upstairs, the bright landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the front of the property, enjoying lovely views across the village towards open fields, and benefits from a useful en suite shower room fitted with a white suite comprising corner shower, WC, wash hand basin and ladder-style heated towel rail.
The surprisingly spacious family bathroom is attractively finished with contemporary white tiling and a modern white suite, including a bath with shower attachment, wash hand basin and WC. A cupboard houses the hot water cylinder. Two further bedrooms complete the first floor accommodation, comprising a second double bedroom and a single bedroom. The loft space is boarded and accessed via a drop-down ladder, providing additional storage potential.
Outside - The property is approached over a shared footpath to the front. The rear garden is currently laid to astro turf with a patio from the french doors. At the end of the garden there is a pedestrian gate leading out to the rear access path. At the end of the terrace is a locked area housing each property's oil tank for the central heating. There is an allocated parking space for No.1 along with an extra three visitor spaces which can be used on a first come, first served basis.
Situation - Barrington is one of South Somerset's most attractive conservation villages and boasts an enviable position with easy access to excellent road links via the A303 and M5/A358, and yet does not lie on a main road itself.
The renowned National Trust property Barrington Court lies at one end of the village and is much more than somewhere to visit. There is a range of artisan workshops, second-hand bookstore, café/restaurant, gift shop and lots of lovely spaces to enjoy the peace and quiet, over a picnic perhaps. There is a super network of public footpaths criss-crossing the estate and village, excellent for dog-walking.
The Barrington Boar is a very well-respected, award-winning restaurant/pub with rooms and excellent food and is just a short walk from the property. There is a thriving community spirit at Barrington with lots of things to get involved with, should you wish. The Village Hall is very much a hub for activities and events, which include Community Coffee mornings, Gardening Society, Choral Society, Amateur Dramatics Group (The Barrington Players), Pilates, Zumba and Yoga, Table Tennis and Bridge. There really is something for everyone.
The nearby town of Ilminster has a full range of facilities, including a wide selection of small independent shops, together with two supermarket chains, bars, cafes, Post Office, doctors' surgeries, dentist and optician. It is a vibrant local community with an abundance of cultural and activity-based pursuits centred around the Theatre, Arts Centre, Church, Primary School, Tennis and Bowls Clubs, and many other community groups. Ilminster has convenient access to the M5 (Junction 25), just 11 miles away, and the A303, which passes nearby. Crewkerne Railway Station, on the Waterloo to Exeter line, is 7 miles away, and Taunton Station, on the Exeter to Bristol and Paddington lines, 13 miles away.
