Property description
A unique detached family home that has been formed using three traditional stone built cottages and now provides beautifully finished, versatile and flexible five bedroom accommodation. The property enjoys large gardens, ample driveway parking and a double garage. This home would suit anybody looking for multi generation living or to run a B&B.
Bartonstone House is a charming family home that has been renovated by our current vendor to provide well appointed, spacious and flexible living accommodation within the heart of this desirable village, just five minutes drive from Millfield senior school. The property was originally three traditional stone cottages and now cleverly flows extremely well as a family home, but would also suit multi-generation living or a home with a holiday cottage.
This period home offers a unique blend of character features with contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. Some of the features include flagstones, solid oak floorboards, exposed beams, plus inglenook and open fireplaces.
The accommodation very briefly offers a dual aspect dining hall with exposed wooden floorboards and patio doors that open out onto the front gardens, a dual aspect living room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, a beautifully finished kitchen with granite worktops and a range of wall and base units, a breakfast room with dual aspect windows and a multi-fuel burner, a study/library with dual aspect windows, flagstone floors, exposed beams and an open fireplace with a bread oven. There is a large utility room/second kitchen and a downstairs cloakroom.
Staircases on either side of the house lead to the first floor. To the right hand side of the house there are three naturally light double bedrooms and the family bathroom, which enjoys a bath with a separate double shower cubicle. The master bedroom features an impressive en-suite shower room. There is access via one of the bedrooms through to the other side of the house where there are two further double bedrooms and another bathroom. In total there are five double bedrooms, two bathrooms and an en-suite shower room.
Bartonstone House sits centrally within an excellent plot and enjoys gardens on all sides. To the left of the house a five bar timber gate opens into a large gravelled parking area for several vehicles which leads to the detached double garage. A gate from the parking area leads to the front gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with a patio/seating area adjoining patio doors into the dining hall. There is access on both sides of the house leading to the rear where you will find a second seating area and a wide variety of plants and shrubs. The gardens are fully enclosed and child and pet friendly.
Butleigh village - A very popular and welcoming local Pub called The Rose & Portcullis is just a stone's throw from the house. The pub has a very good reputation as a family friendly establishment serving high quality locally sourced food. Well House is on the outskirts of the popular village of Butleigh which is one of the most sought after residential areas in the county. The village of Butleigh has a vibrant community with local shops, more pubs and restaurants, cricket club, rugby team and primary school. Street, Glastonbury and Wells are also on your doorstep whilst Bath and Yeovil are in easy driving distance. Castle Cary Train Station is 10 miles away from the house and is on the mainline to London Paddington. This puts the new owner within easy commuting distance of London.
