Nestled on the edge of the small village of Shoscombe, within the picturesque valley of the Wellow Brook, this charming rural home occupies a gated corner plot amid an enclave of converted farm buildings. Just seven miles south of Bath, this detached property offers a peaceful yet convenient setting, surrounded by the charm of Somerset and Wiltshire towns, villages, and nearby attractions. Converted in the mid to late 1990s, the restoration of this barn, along with two others that were originally part of Paglinch Farm mentioned in the Domesday Book was truly a labour of love. Skillfully converted by my husband, we have lived in all three and used Swallows Stall as a popular holiday let and successful rental. We love the peace, quiet, and convenience of the location, along with good neighbours and stunning country views. Close enough to foster a sense of security and community, yet far enough apart to offer plenty of privacy, this property truly offers an idyllic setting. Arranged over two floors, the spacious accommodation is entered through the sitting room, which leads to a kitchen/diner at one end. At the opposite end, a few steps ascend to two bedrooms one with an en suite shower room and a family bathroom. The first floor features two additional bedrooms and another family bathroom. Weve found the layout ideal for both day-to-day living and entertaining, with plenty of room for guests to stay and enjoy their privacy upstairs, say the owners. The property also boasts a sweeping gravel drive with ample parking, providing plenty of space for visitors. Subject to the appropriate permissions, there is potential to extend the kitchen, or add a garage or garden office, offering additional flexibility and enhancing the propertys appeal. Living here offers a peaceful rural lifestyle without feeling isolated, thanks to adjacent but not intrusive neighbours and the easy access to Bath, Peasedown St John, Radstock, Frome, and Wells. Shoscombe has a lovely primary school, but there are other excellent options nearby, including both state and independent schools for all ages. Both the house and garden, which is mainly laid to lawn, are easy to maintain and the property is perfect for locking up and leaving when needed'. Surrounded by countryside and nature, Swallows Stall looks and feels like a secluded hideaway living here has always felt a bit like being on holiday!
