This thatched barn conversion offers the ideal country escape for a couple or two friends. Set within the grounds of a 15th century Grade II listed Somerset longhouse, outside there’s a private patio area to sip a morning coffee. There’s also the owner's large country garden to enjoy – the pond area is perfect for picnics. Inside, there’s plenty of charm with the wooden beams and a super comfy bed. Location-wise, there’s lots to see and do nearby. Ilminster is just a short walk away and offers a variety of shops, pubs, and cafes, while the stunning Jurassic coast and the Quantock Hills are within easy reach.
