We purchased it three years ago as we wanted to live in the countryside, with some land, and a workshop as I am a hobby blacksmith. There are no near neighbours, and we enjoy looking at the dairy cattle in the field, the sheep, and large population of jackdaws who put on a murmuration display for us twice a day. The house has an acre of mature gardens, and we have a damson orchard, Himalayan birch tree lined drive, and other rare trees. We have planning permission to build an annex, which we have started to ground level, so the planning is still extant.""The house is accessed down a single lane gravel track off the A39, nestled in a hollow about two hundred meters down the track.

A brick archway with exposed bricks and plaster revealing the fabric of the building leads to the triple aspect sitting room. We have split this area into two zones, one with the large open fireplace which has an old oak lintel above, and a flagstone hearth and is set in an exposed stone wall, which is a reading/chatting/sitting area and the other with two sofas and TV for relaxing. The original front door opens into this room. All the doors throughout the house are stable doors, and there are old oak beams, and an engineered oak floor and cast iron radiators in the dining room and sitting room.""From the kitchen with the exposed stone wall, the bespoke oak staircase with glass panels leads up to the spacious landing, with curved window and window seat, which looks out to the paddock. There is scope to make a second bathroom here, subject to the relevant consents. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with an original Victorian fireplace (currently blocked off) , bespoke built in wardrobes and plantation shutters. Across the landing is the smallest bedroom, currently laid out as a second sitting room, but with room for a double bed and views across to the East. An archway and internal corridor lead to bedroom three which has a handmade tall gothic oak door. There are built in wardrobes across one side and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Down a second corridor is a Victorian style bathroom with built in dove grey cabinets, a marble topped basin and walk in electric shower. The second bedroom is dual aspect and located at the front of the house, with built in wardrobes, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a loft area.""Outside there is a double garage with power and electric doors.

Steps lead down to the front lawn which has a tulip tree, sycamores and conifers at the wild edges of the lawn. From the kitchen door is a second small breakfast/morning coffee area, with a water fountain coming out of the stone wall and an old stone Chinese smoke oven, used by the previous owner for smoking fish. Stone steps lead up to the higher level of the garden and mature trees.""Externally the windows are new double glazed units (installed in 2019) in Chatsworth green and on the patio a sage green screen has been made to screen off the oil tank. We also have a fire pit seating area and a chicken coop.""The house is very private, but there is very good access to local amenities.

Believed to be one of the oldest houses in the middle of this delightful village, Old Farm has a lovely position and stands on grounds of approximately an acre which look south across the gardens and fields beyond. The main house has a traditional thatch roof and exudes immense character with exposed beams and ham stone walls.Upon entering the house it is clear to see that this property has been the subject of a significant programme of works. With an impressive attention to detail, the current owners have managed to enhance the original features whilst ensuring that this is now a home fit for the demands of modern day living. This is most notable in the fabulous dual aspect kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, a 2-plate oil-fired AGA (cream) and adjacent utility/laundry. Leading from the kitchen is the dining room, with original flagstone floors, inglenook fireplace and wood burner making it the perfect space for entertaining. Beyond the original hallway lies the family room, with parquet floors, original bread oven and wood burner providing a more informal living arrangement, perhaps as a playroom. However for those occasions when entertaining on a larger scale, the substantial and well-proportioned sitting room is ideal, with its centrally positioned fireplace with stone fire surround and wood burner. It is a wonderful, light-filled space with triple aspect windows and French doors providing easy access onto the south facing terrace for those warmer days. A spacious cloakroom with plenty of room for coats and boots completes the picture on the ground floor.Stairs then rise from the hall to the first floor landing where there is a large open area, ideal for use as a study. There are four generous bedrooms in total, the principal of which sits at the front of the house, with dual aspect views and a large spacious ensuite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms are light and bright and share a family bathroom. With delightful views across the gardens from many of these rooms, this is clearly a house that is much loved and has benefitted enormously from the recent renovation works.Along with the main house, the original stables and old chicken house have also had attention and been thoughtfully converted into a charming, completely independent one bedroom cottage. Built in local stone under a tiled roof, with an exceptionally spacious open-plan kitchen/sitting room with vaulted ceilings, features include wooden floors, exposed stonework, wood-burning stove and French doors which open onto a private terraced garden, perfect for those summer evenings. The fully equipped kitchen, with built in oven and electric hob, integrated fridge freezer and space for a kitchen island, lends itself to entertaining and whilst the building benefits from all modern conveniences, the owners have at the same time been sympathetic to its past, re-using the reclaimed roof tiles and cedar wood on the outside, allowing the building to effortlessly blend into its surroundings. Ideal for dependant relatives, the cottage is equally a lucrative asset and is currently let out for short term rentals generating significant income.The entrance to the property is off the lane, through a wooden five bar gate that leads onto a gravelled driveway with ample parking for several cars. Next to the main house and parking are various outbuildings along with access to the cottage.The garden and grounds amount to approximately one acre, with the main garden extending out behind the house and cottage. Interspersed with a great variety of mature specimen trees, fruit trees and shrubberies, they are designed to be easily maintained, with an extensive lawned area. In addition, there is a well-established vegetable garden. Paved terraces extend behind the house and cottage so that each building has its own private outside area.The countryside around South Barrow has changed little in recent decades. Dairy farming predominates and the green fields bounded by hedges and small areas of woodland provide a delightful environment through which quiet lanes gently wind their way.

The market towns of Somerton and Castle Cary (described by the eminent historian, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, as the prettiest town in South Somerset) are both within a short drive as are the larger centres of Yeovil and the Abbey town of Sherborne.

To the south the A303 is joined at Sparkford, within 2 miles away and the intercity mainline railway service to London Paddington takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Castle Cary.EDUCATIONThe area is particularly well known for its schools.
