The barn BA4 4RF
An opportunity to acquire a building plot comprising a lovely old stone barn with full detailed planning permission for conversion and extension to create a three-bedroom single-storey dwelling with a gross internal floor area of approximately 101.40 sqm (1,091 sqft).
The plot comes with circa 0.24 hectares (0.6 acres) of land to the south running parallel to Merryfield Lane down to the East Somerset Steam Railway line which runs along the southern boundary. The vendor also owns the access track and the land to the north and south of the track (approximately 0.81 ha (2 acres) to the south and 2.02 ha (5 acres) to the north of the track).
The property is located just to the east of Shepton Mallet to the south of the A361, a short distance to the southeast of the village of Doulting.
Situation
The nearby historic market town of Shepton Mallet has a good selection of shops and amenities and the thriving Cathedral City of Wells is about 8 miles to the west, with its many concerts and cultural events and a further range of amenities. The small but increasingly well-known and vibrant towns of Bruton and Frome are also close by, with Frome recently voted as one of the Times "Best Places to Live in Britain". The Mendip Hills also provide some truly hidden treasures within this undulating countryside. Communications links are excellent with the A303 to London or the Southwest, the A37 to Bristol and Bath and Bristol International airport just to the northwest. The mainline railway station is at Castle Cary with connection to London Paddington. There is an excellent selection of schools for children of all ages within proximity in the surrounding towns including Millfield School, Kings Bruton, Wells Cathedral School and All Hallows at Cranmore.
