Entry to the home is via the side, through rear gates, leading into a welcoming hallway featuring stone-effect tiled flooring, an under-stairs storage cupboard, and a convenient cloakroom with WC and wash basin—tastefully finished with oak ledges and shelving. The main living room, located on the south side of the house, is impressively spacious—ample enough to accommodate both a full dining suite and comfortable seating. A south-facing window with plantation shutters provides a pleasant outlook, while a characterful brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove and stone hearth adds a cosy, rustic touch.
Opposite, the kitchen and dining area open directly onto the garden through elegant French doors. The stylish kitchen, finished in a soft sage grey, is fitted with a range of wall, base, and glass-fronted display units, all topped with sleek quartz worktops. A one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with a period-style mixer tap is set beneath feature LED kickboard lighting. There's space for a range cooker with a neff stainless steel extractor hood above, and integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher, and neff microwave.
A beautifully crafted timber staircase, framed by oak skirting boards, leads to the first floor. Oak doors with obscured glazed panels open to a smaller rear-facing bedroom and a notably spacious family bathroom. The bathroom features a contemporary suite, including a freestanding double-ended bath, a separate quadrant shower with a mains-fed rain shower, a concealed cistern WC, and a pedestal wash basin. Finishing touches include a chrome ladder-style electric towel rail, crisp white wall tiles with a travertine border, and polished travertine floor tiles.
From the inner landing, you’ll find three additional generously sized double bedrooms. The master suite is especially impressive, offering a lovely outlook over the charming street scene at the front of the house. It includes a well-appointed en suite bathroom complete with its own window, a bath, and a large rain shower within a separate cubicle—blending practicality with style.
Outside
At the front of the property, a charming walled courtyard area provides space for a bench—ideal for enjoying the sunny southerly aspect. Double gates open into the front garden, offering optional access to the garage via traditional timber double doors. With additional access available from the rear, the garage can function as a drive-through, carport, or extra storage space. It is equipped with lighting, power, and plumbing for a washing machine.
The rear garden offers a flexible layout and a high level of privacy, screened from the rear access road by substantial timber gates. These include double gates for vehicle access onto the driveway and a side gate for pedestrians. Much of the area is block paved, making it a versatile space that can serve as a large courtyard garden if desired. A small lawn and established shrubs add greenery, and there's also a convenient outdoor tap.
Situation
Barrington is one of South Somerset’s most attractive conservation villages and boasts an enviable position with easy access to excellent road links via the A303 and A358 and yet does not lie on a main road itself. The renowned National Trust property Barrington Court lies at one end of the village, and is much more than somewhere to visit. There is a range of artisan workshops, second hand book store, café / restaurant, gift shop and lots of lovely open spaces to enjoy. There is a super network of public footpaths criss-crossing the estate and village, excellent for dog-walking. The Barrington Boar is a very well-respected pub with rooms and excellent food, and is just a short walk from the property. There is a thriving community spirit at Barrington with lots of things to get involved with should you wish. The village hall is very much a hub for activities and events, which include Community Coffee mornings, a Local Produce Market, Gardening club, local Choral society, and amateur dramatics group.
