No onward chain. Working from home? Running a small business? Looking to boost your income? Need an annexe for a relative? With a separate self-contained annexe and plentiful off-road parking this detached nineteenth century stone barn conversion with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, two conservatories and secondary accommodation with bedroom, kitchen and large games/party room/home office offers so many options. Located in the vibrant village of Farmborough, 8.1 miles from Bath and 10 miles from central Bristol.

The vendor says: “Although this house has the history which goes with having been the barn and milking shed to the original Manor House, when you get inside you have the space and light which is sometimes lacking in such properties. The secondary accommodation has many more possibilities for the next owners, still leaving the main residence and double garage for family use. I particularly love the living room which is a stunning large room opening out onto the garden, with a beautiful stone fire place making it cosy in winter.”

“We converted the double garage by putting in a kitchen/utility, shower room, a bedroom/study and a huge party room. You can squeeze up to fifty people in here for a sit down dinner, and it has been a fantastic space for our three children to use for sleepovers and teenage parties.”

“The garden has a number of zones and there is plenty of room for a vegetable patch too. The original entrance further up the road is currently fenced off, but this could be opened up if you wanted to put in hard standing to keep a camper van or caravan and not have to look at it from the house.”

“There is an excellent sense of community in Farmborough. The village hall has a recently opened community shop which sells local produce. The Co-op in Marksbury is also nearby for household essentials. There are two local pubs, The Butcher’s Arms and the huge New Inn. For fine dining The Pig is 1.3 miles away and the Pony and Trap (a Michelin star restaurant) is 5.2 miles away.”

“Farmborough Primary School is ranked “Outstanding” by Ofsted and is a 2 minute walk. For secondary school there are school buses to Norton Hill School, Midsomer Norton. This is rated “Good” by Ofsted and got my children great A Levels and places at good universities. The village has a football club, a cricket team, tennis court and basketball court. There are many local events, such as the excellent fireworks display which people come to see from miles around.”
