This beautiful, detached barn is situated in the heart of the owners’ working farm and is located between the popular villages of Burrington and Blagdon. Throughout the property are artfully-crafted original features, exposed beams, slate and wooden floors, offering true rustic comfort for groups of six and two lucky pups within its ample and homely setting.

From the entrance hall, pass an archway to the contemporary kitchen with Velux window, perfect for trying out new recipes or sipping wine under the stars. A useful utility room has a washing machine and space aplenty to hang coats or clean off muddy paws. Dine in the comfort of the lounge/diner with its high ceiling, exposed beams and wide feature window. Sink into the sofas by a wood burner-effect gas fire. Two ground floor bedrooms, a double and a twin, are served by a modern ground floor bathroom with bath and separate shower - ultra-convenient for tidying up mucky pups and young ones after a day in the great outdoors. The first-floor king-size bedroom has a plush en-suite shower room and WC, with low sloping ceilings retaining the charm of the barn conversion. Dine or relax in the enclosed courtyard garden patio area on attractive outdoor seating, while restless four-footed ones can catch a stick or ball.

At the foot of the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, walks are in abundance right from your doorstep and the local pub just a field's walk away. Charming village pubs are in abundance - many welcoming four-legged family! Perfectly located, you are near the historic spa city of Bath (22 miles), the metropolitan city of Bristol (14 miles), the picturesque scenery of Cheddar Gorge and Caves (9 miles), and the smallest cathedral city in England, Wells (12 miles).
