About this property
Characterful conversion in popular village
Stylish, contemporary living space over three floors
Spacious ground floor kitchen / dining space perfect for entertaining
First floor dual aspect sitting room with pleasant views
Cloakroom, shower room and additional family bathroom
Allocated parking plus additional undercover car port parking / storage
The perfect "lock up and leave" or stylish low-maintenance home for busy people, this characterful conversion is tucked away in a pleasant position in a small select development enjoying views towards the countryside.
The Property
Once part of the Grade II listed Broadway Farm, the neighbouring period farm buildings were transformed in 2017 into an exclusive collection of high-quality, characterful homes. Set at the far end of the former granary, this impressive three-storey residence combines generous living space across all floors with the ease of low-maintenance living. Whether your days are filled with work and hobbies, or you’re seeking a secure, lock-up-and-leave second home, this property could be the perfect match.
Accommodation
The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating, with elegant Italian limestone flooring flowing seamlessly from the hall and cloakroom into the spacious kitchen/dining room. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows at the front fill the space with natural light, while stylish adjustable shutters ensure privacy. The contemporary kitchen—enhanced by the current owners for both practicality and style—includes fitted appliances such as a wine cooler, dishwasher and washing machine, along with dedicated spaces for an American-style fridge freezer and gas range cooker. Beneath the stairs sits a handy storage cupboard, and the sleek white worktops extend into a breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining and social gatherings. The vendors have added copious additional storage throughout the property to further maximise storage space. This includes additional fitted corner cupboards in the kitchen and hall.
Echoing the property’s heritage, natural materials feature prominently, with oak flooring and staircase detailing continuing through to the upper levels. On the first floor, a generous dual-aspect sitting room offers views across the village to open countryside. Original overhead beams, still bearing a hand-painted label, are a charming reminder of the building’s past. Adjacent is a stylish shower room with a spacious low-profile walk-in enclosure featuring a dual-head shower, smart metro tiling, and a period-style wash basin and WC.
The second floor provides yet more cleverly designed storage, with cupboards on both the landing and half-landing, plus a linen cupboard housing the gas boiler. Two beautifully presented bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, share an attractive bathroom complete with a white heritage suite, panelled bath with shower handset, concealed-cistern WC, and wash basin.
Outside
The property has a courtyard style garden to the front, laid to artificial grass for ease of maintenance. There is ample room for a set of patio furniture and to enjoy container gardening without having too much to look after. There is allocated parking close at hand by way of two adjoining spaces, and a further undercover parking / storage area providing a further allocated space within the adjacent carport. This currently also houses a lockable timber storage shed. There is an additional storage area for bins / recycling to keep them out of sight.
Situation
Merriott village has an excellent range of local services including a garage, a petrol station, two general stores, a post office, pub, a pharmacy (which will collect prescriptions and deliver medicines), and a pottery. There is a church, a chapel, and a village hall, tithe barn and social club which are all host to a wide range of activities. There is also a recreation ground with junior and senior play areas, cricket and football pitches, tennis courts and a bowling green, separate squash club and court. The village also has its own pre-school and Primary school.
Merriott has excellent road links to both the A303 and A30, both of which lie within a short drive. Crewkerne is a traditional market town with a range of shops including a Waitrose Supermarket who deliver locally, and a main line railway station for the London, Waterloo to Exeter line.
