5 Bed House For Sale Taunton, TA3

A highly versatile, spacious and superbly appointed 4/5 bedroom barn conversion with double garage, stabling, fabulous views, private grounds of circa a third of an acre and occupying a sublime position in one of Somerset’s most convenient and popular semi-rural settings.

We are delighted to offer this gorgeous four/five bedroom barn conversion set on an exclusive development of only three properties with sensational far-reaching views, private garden, garage and outbuildings and situated in a stunning semi-rural setting. In brief the property compromises a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, study/fifth bedroom, WC, family shower room and four further bedrooms with a master ensuite. With almost 2,400 sq ft of internal accommodation, Swallow Field offers luxury and versatile living at every turn. The layout has been cleverly designed to maximise the westerly-facing views over local farmland from the main living areas, none more so than the dual aspect sitting room. It’s vaulted ceiling and exposed elm beams exude quality and craftsmanship, whilst the engineered flooring, expansive vista and wood-burner, make it the perfect setting to unwind and relax throughout the seasons. The vaulted ceiling continues into the openplan kitchen/dining room, which is fitted with all mod-cons and is a great setting for family gatherings and hosting. Advantageously the wood-burner connects both the sitting room and kitchen together, providing practical warmth and a lovely focal point. The room beyond the kitchen is currently utilised as a study, ideal for those who need to work from home and equally effective as a further bedroom or reception room, depending on one’s needs.
The remaining four bedrooms are all generously proportioned with three serviced by the family shower room and the master having the luxury of its own ensuite with bath and separate shower. Barn conversions of this quality and situated in such an idyllic location are a rare find and whether its country life, single storey-living or just a great place for your family to enjoy, Swallow Field will be a popular choice.
