Description

Tucked away along a serene country lane in the charming hamlet of Foxcote, this four-bedroom barn conversion presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment. This character-rich property boasts substantial living space and is ripe for modernization, catering to buyers eager to infuse their personal style into a spacious rural home. Upon entering, you'll find an inviting hallway that leads into a striking principal reception room. This expansive double-aspect area is bathed in natural light, showcasing beautiful exposed beams and stone details alongside a centerpiece fireplace that adds warmth and character. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with a formal dining room adjacent to the generously sized country-style kitchen. This functional kitchen connects to a utility and boot room that provides convenient access to the outdoor spaces. Complementing the ground floor are both a cloakroom and an additional shower room, enhancing everyday practicality. Upstairs, the flexible arrangement includes three well-sized double bedrooms, each offering picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and gardens. Notably, one bedroom already has provisions for an en suite and dressing area, presenting potential for further enhancement. A family bathroom completes this level and holds promise for updates to align with contemporary preferences. The property features a sweeping gravel driveway leading to ample parking space and gated access at the rear, where you’ll find a large double garage. The grounds are particularly noteworthy: nearly two acres of lush lawns bordered by traditional dry stone walls contribute to the tranquil setting. Here, possibilities abound—from creating landscaped gardens or outdoor entertaining areas to exploring equestrian or smallholding ventures (subject to obtaining necessary permissions). While there is room for improvement throughout the home, its combination of size, charm, and enviable location makes it a rare find within the market—especially as it comes unlisted and without onward chain complications. Foxcote is nestled in the Mendip Hills region of Somerset, renowned for its stunning natural beauty characterized by rolling landscapes ideal for walking and cycling enthusiasts. Just eight miles away lies the historic city of Bath, offering diverse retail options alongside cultural landmarks like The Theatre Royal and numerous dining establishments. Additionally, excellent transport links include a mainline railway station providing direct services to London Paddington as well as Bristol and South Wales, making this location not only peaceful but also exceptionally accessible.
