Property code: 85378

Surrounded by Somerset’s lush, green countryside, this impressive Dutch barn conversion is perfect for friends, families and their canine companions. Immerse yourselves in the rural tranquillity of country life and soak up the far-reaching, panoramic views. Nestled on the outskirts of the village of North Curry, you and your four-legged friends will be spoilt with endless walks from your doorstep. After a busy day of discovering new territory and fetching sticks, you’ll all enjoy snuggling up in front of the wood burner of an evening with a bowl of tasty treats.

Located within the owner’s 9 acres of land, this stunning property offers style, comfort and contemporary living. On entering, you’ll find yourself in the spacious hall – the ideal place for wiping off muddy paws and discarding wet boots. From here, you can access the welcoming lounge or the well-equipped kitchen/diner, both of which have French doors that allow light to flood in. Heading upstairs, there are four beautifully spacious bedrooms, ranging from the king-size master suite with its vaulted ceiling, to the cosy twin room, whilst three bathrooms/shower rooms complete the accommodation. Outside, there is plenty of space to stretch your legs or enjoy some al fresco dining in the large, enclosed garden.

Although the city of Taunton is only 11 miles away with its shops, eateries and amenities, it’s this property’s central location that you’ll love. Nestled between the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to the north and the Blackdown Hills AONB to the south (both within 7.5 miles), there is a wealth of picturesque walking and cycling trails to choose from. A little further afield, you can also explore the rugged moorland and dramatic coastline of Exmoor National Park (20 miles) or the more undulating hills and coastline of the Dorset AONB (22 miles).

Beautiful property in a stunning location, close to Taunton for Amenities. Private gated parking. Plenty space for large families and the private hot tub was a perfect treat at the end of the day. We were allowed use of the Tennis courts which the kids loved. A fantastic relaxing weekend.

A lovely house with lots of equipment for group cooking and plenty of bathrooms. Walks available right from the house. There are sheep in the field next to the garden and only a wire fence with quite large holes, so not advisable for all dogs. Dogs required to be kept downstairs only, so should be ok with some separation.
