THE PROPERTY
Woodlands View is a very special and unique property comprising a substantial detached stone converted barn together with a timber lodge/potential annexe and extensive outbuildings, set in a large plot of just under half an acre, occupying a tucked away position within the attractive village of Winsham on the Dorset border.
The property has been under the current ownership for some considerable time and more recently subject to extensive improvement/alteration to include the conversion of the former barn to create a lovely family home.
The converted barn has main walls of solid stone and flint under a slate roof. It offers extensive and well proportioned accommodation of just under 1,700sqft, with a whole range of character style features including a brick and beamed fireplace (bricks from the former forge), front/top loading wood burner, stripped pine doors and exposed beams.
The excellent modern amenities include oil-fired central heating, uPVC windows/doors, water softener, well equipped kitchen with solid oak units, Siemens electric double oven, 5-burner gas hob (LPG), integrated Bosch dishwasher, quality Karndean style floor coverings to the kitchen, utility and shower room, attractive family fully tiled bathroom with L shaped bath/mains shower and attractive en-suite shower room with walk-in shower.
The character accommodation enjoys lovely views over the village and the surrounding countryside, extending to:
Ground floor - Reception hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility, shower room
First floor - Large landing with sky tube, two bedrooms, family bathroom, inner landing/dressing room with sky tube, third bedroom, main bedroom with a dressing room area and en-suite shower room.
The property also features a detached timber lodge (currently planning for playroom, although suitable for a whole range of uses, subject to any necessary planning consents ie long term/holiday letting unit, working from home or for dependant relative etc.,). It was built some ten years ago and fully insulated with electric heating and quality uPVC sash style windows comprising living room, kitchen, bedroom, shower room.
There is also an extensive range of outbuildings, historically used as an MOT station and vehicle repair business, but offering great potential for a whole range of uses, again, subject to the necessary planning consents.
OUTSIDE
Woodlands View is set back and screened from the village lane, being approached over its own driveway (the neighbouring property, Rose Cottage, has a right of way over the first part of this driveway), leading to a very large courtyard with an extensive range of outbuildings garage, workshop, store, further double garage with cloakroom and adjoining office.
Beyond the property are a further good range of timber outbuildings comprising double garage and two large stores.
The rear garden enjoys a sunny south facing aspect and secluded, being level, down to lawn. Adjoining the lodge is a raised timber decking with covered barbeque area.
SITUATION
Woodlands View is pleasantly situated within the village of Winsham, which is located close to the Dorset border and rates amongst South Somerset s most desirable villages. The excellent amenities include a community shop, public house, church, village hall and primary school. The market towns of Chard and Crewkerne are both within easy reach offering an excellent range of shopping, business and leisure facilities, including a Waitrose Superstore in Crewkerne and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo and Exeter.
