  • Detached barn conversion a stone's throw from the Chew Valley Lake with secure enclosed garden
  • Situated north of the Mendip Hills and around 10 miles from Bristol
  • A network of lovely footpaths on the doorstep for you and your four legged friend 
Property code: 56550

With character features including exposed beams and stonework, the family will get a real sense of country living in this tastefully converted barn. A network of footpaths and cycle routes stretch from the property, offering your furry friends a new leash of life as they explore miles upon miles of the stunning surroundings. And when you’re done exploring, relax with a chilled glass of wine on the patio, catching the last of the day’s sunshine.

The delightful barn is arranged on one level and is bright and airy throughout. Large windows make the most of the picturesque rural setting, as does the conservatory. The lounge boasts a wood effect electric fire that the dogs will love snoozing beside after a busy day of adventure. With a charcoal BBQ and outdoor seating, the enclosed lawn garden is the perfect spot for al fresco dining in the balmy summer months.

You will be spoilt for choice for things to do here in the Chew Valley, with an animal park, wildlife trust reserve and the river to enjoy and explore. When you aren’t spending your time here, head 8 miles south to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is home to a wide array of flora and fauna waiting to be discovered. Be sure to pack your walking boots so you can tackle (at least partly) the 50-mile Mendip Way trail, connecting Weston-super-Mare to Frome via Cheddar and Wells. For a more relaxing day trip, head to the historic city of Bath (14 miles), famed for its Georgian architecture and popular Roman Baths.
