Cedar Barn is a striking and unique architect designed property with a master ensuite bedroom, three further double bedrooms, two further bathrooms and glorious gardens. Set in the sought after village of Witham Friary, near Frome, the property was built in 2004, primarily all on one level, and offers flexible and comfortable accommodation creating a superb family home to suit multiple requirements.
The front door opens into a spacious hallway from which a feature wooden spiral staircase leads to a large mezzanine gallery room, with the wall behind the stairs finished in silver leaf. The mezzanine has a wood floor, Velux windows and a glazed balustrade providing an uninterrupted view over the living room, the garden and the countryside beyond.
Downstairs, the entrance hall leads you into the dining room, with steps leading up to the stunning living room, laid with wooden flooring, and with dual aspect windows and doors and floor to ceiling windows on the gable end, flooding the room with light. A double-sided wood burning stove with a Bath stone surround serves both rooms.
The kitchen, with its magnificent octagonal turret, inspired by the famous medieval Abbots kitchen at Glastonbury Abbey, also has dual aspect windows with views out to the lawn and to the front of the property. There are modern fitted cupboards with granite worktops, an integrated dishwasher, oven, a breakfast bar, space for an undercounter fridge and a marble floor with underfloor heating. A glazed passageway with doors to both the garden and to the front of the property, leads to a utility/ boot room with plumbing and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a fridge freezer. Beyond this is a shower room and a double bedroom with independent access via the front garden.
Back to the front hall, and in the other direction, a naturally light passageway takes you to three bedrooms. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, generous built in wardrobes and a recently renovated ensuite shower room. There are a further two doubles, both also with built in wardrobes, plus a shower room, also renovated, and a separate W/C.
The garden is extremely private and enclosed by mature hedging. There is a large terrace and lawn, a summer house, potting shed, wildlife pond and a variety of trees including silver birch, apple, pear and ornamental cherry. A pathway weaves to the top of the garden where there are two raised vegetable beds, compost area and a shed. The front garden is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the morning sun and has a pond with a granite water fountain feature.
The well proportioned garage has both light and power, and is currently set up as a gym space. The gated block paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles, herbaceous flower beds planted with roses, perennial flowers and shrubs.
Witham Friary village has a thriving community, with many village clubs and a calendar of activities such as Village Sports Day, Bonfire Night, and Easter Duck Race, for anyone wanting to get involved!
