Step inside
Carefully converted to combine modern living with traditional character, this home offers practical yet stylish accommodation. At its heart is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a generous, light-filled space that can be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyles. Exposed timbers, wooden flooring and quality kitchen units all contribute to its warm and charming appeal.
A generous sitting room with exposed stone walls features a wood burner and French doors opening onto the rear gardens, creating a warm and inviting space. An adjoining reception room, ideal as a snug or for a variety of other uses, adds further flexibility, while a front-facing office/study provides the perfect place to work quietly.
A useful utility room can also serve as a kitchen for the annexe if required. The annexe itself offers accessible ground floor living, which can be fully self-contained or seamlessly incorporated into the main house. It includes its own kitchen, bathroom, a large reception/family room and a comfortable double bedroom, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or independent accommodation.
The first floor provides three additional double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a spacious en-suite bathroom. A well-appointed family bathroom is arranged in a Jack and Jill style, connecting to bedroom three while also serving bedroom two, ensuring both practicality and comfort. The property is offered with the benefit of no onward chain.
Step outside
Accessed via electric gates, the property opens onto a brick-paviour driveway leading to a four-bay carport with eaves storage, lighting, and ladder access, while further off-road parking is available for multiple vehicles. The outdoor heated swimming pool is enclosed by a half-height wall, providing the perfect place to relax and entertain with friends and family from spring through to autumn.
A pump house with WC and sink offers convenient changing facilities beside the pool. The gardens extend towards the barn, beautifully cultivated with colourful borders, and are complemented by a timber workshop with light, power and concrete flooring, a potting shed, and tandem stables. The stable block accommodates two horses, with the enclosed paddock available for grazing if desired. Additional features include a secure outdoor storage area with a large galvanised storeroom.
For leisure, the land has been imaginatively configured into a private nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course, measuring 1,035 yards in total.

Sellers insight
We chose this house when we were working and wanted easy access to the M5 motorway. Thirteen years on and we will forever treasure memories of relaxing by the pool on summer evenings and weekends and going on scenic country walks in virtually any direction from the front door.
We were always well supported when hosting parties, be it indoors or out. We had up to 22 people for Christmas dinner at times!
We extended the house to achieve a large ground floor self-contained annex, which we have made great use of as a home gym and games room! The golf course was a fun project and has been invaluable to improving our short games!
The only downside that we can think of is finding places to go for weekends away that have better facilities than ‘The Olde Canal Barn!
From Taunton at M5 J25, take the A358 in an easterly direction towards Ilminster. At the Thornfalcon traffic lights bear left onto the A378 towards Langport.
Follow this road for approximately 0.5 miles and near the bottom of the hill, the road bends to the left into the hamlet. The property will be found just before The Far Canal public house on the left-hand side. The property will be accessed by electric gates.
