A cosy two/three bedroom barn conversion set in approx. 2.8 acres, with purpose built stables, level paddocks and planning permission for a second dwelling, in a pleasant rural location, on the fringe of the village of Evercreech
The current owners use the property for their own horses and in the agent’s opinion it is ideal for private equestrian use. Planning permission was granted on 13 March 2023 to convert a former cider barn and outbuilding into a separate, two bedroom dwelling under planning ref. 2020/1970/FUL. This permission is valid for three years.
Evercreech is a sought after village with a good range of local amenities including a Post Office, convenience store, bakery, hairdresser, doctors surgery, chemist, church, village hall and public houses. There are wider ranges of amenities close-by in Shepton Mallet, Castle Cary and Bruton, and access onto the A303 dual carriageway at Wincanton. The local area is well known for its excellent schools with many highly regarded independent and state schools within a reasonable distance. There is a mainline railway station at Castle Cary with a regular, direct service to London Paddington.
