Beyond a quiet courtyard and a weathered stone path, this modern countryside retreat feels like a secret worth keeping. Set in the gentle landscape between Taunton and Wellington, it invites you to live at a slower pace, think sunrise coffees in the garden, afternoon walks through the Blackdown Hills, and evenings with a book by the fire. The barn’s reverse layout brings light and air into the vaulted living space, while downstairs, two en-suite bedrooms provide a sense of privacy and calm. Whether you’re exploring cycle routes, teeing off nearby, or simply soaking in the views, it’s a peaceful, playful spot with everything you need for a restorative rural escape.

About Somerset

Somerset is all about Glastonbury, right? Well, think again! There's a certain town-meets-country charm here that is enticing increasing numbers of stressed city dwellers seeking solace.
