Directions
Wood Barton is a rare property being one of the few barns to be found in such an idyllic setting in the Quantock Hills. The property has been subject to an extensive extension and renovation programme over the last four years. Much thought and attention went into the project, using traditional techniques combined with the use of natural materials. Believed to date back to 18th century, the barn built of cob and was probably originally thatched. The barn has been extended to provide a traditionally built two-storey extension including an oak panelled exterior. The house retains a wealth of period original features including exposed timber A frames in the original barn whilst incorporating state of the art facilities including central heating system, oak framed double glazed windows and doors and category five wiring throughout. The house faces due south and each of the principal reception rooms enjoy wonderful views towards the farmland at the front and over a parkland like setting towards the Quantocks Hills to the rear.
On the ground floor is a reception hall with a cloakroom and access to the boot room/ utility with staircase providing access to the second floor in the new part of the building. Excellent reception space is a prominent theme in the creation of the property including a sitting room with open fireplace with inset wood burning stove exposed brick surround of a basket weave design and heavy beam over. Double patio doors opening out on to the front. The dining room and further sitting area have vaulted beamed ceilings with glazed windows and patio door to rear with oak framed enjoying superb views towards the Quantocks. The dining room and sitting area links though to the kitchen breakfast room, which has been left for the new owners to choose from a range supplied by the seller as required. Adjoining the kitchen and breakfast room is the study/ fifth bedroom with en-suite shower room. From the kitchen the second oak staircase provides access to the first floor of the original barn. The original barn has two bedrooms both with vaulted ceiling, exposed A frames and en-suites, the master bedroom having a three piece Jacuzzi suite with jet stream system, bath, enclosed shower cubicle, w/c and washbasin and natural marble tiling throughout. The further two bedrooms in the new extension both have superb views to front and rear as well as a fully fitted bathroom suite with travertine tiling.
