"Handy for the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels, this barn conversion is on a farm in rural Somerset"
Overview
On a traditional family farm with a small pedigree Dexter beef herd, sheep and turkeys in the heart of rural Somerset, this recent barn conversion maintains olde-worlde charm but offers of the amenities of a luxury holiday home. The beautiful city of Wells is only 2 miles away with the cathedral, Bishop’s Palace and historical Vicars Close. Mythical Glastonbury is about 6 miles away and the nearby Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels are ideal for cyclists, walkers and bird lovers. Centrally heated throughout, the cottage has 3 bedrooms – two doubles and a single – each with TV and one with en-suite facilities looking out over the rolling Mendip Hills and surrounding countryside. There is a large tiled bathroom upstairs, and a double sized shower room downstairs. The spacious dining/living room maintains a cosy and homely feel, with log-burning stove and old oak beams. Curl up and relax in front of the log fire during the darker months, or enjoy a glass of wine on the raised garden with stunning views overlooking the Mendip Hills.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer
