Lavender Barn is a fabulous six bedroom barn conversion on the edge of a stunning Somerset conservation village. The 200 year old barn is beautifully finished, it boasts a private indoor swimming pool, games room, and outdoor hot tub, and there is a fantastic pub within strolling distance. What more could you want?
The barn has been sympathetically converted, with exposed red stone and oak flooring throughout, and luxurious, spacious and modern accommodation. Surrounded by stunning countryside and nestled between Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the location is a haven of peace and tranquillity. On site, there is a private indoor heated swimming pool, an enclosed garden, and lots of toys for the children, and off site there are outdoor activities, historic attractions and miles of footpaths and cycling tracks. This is the perfect location for holidays, get-togethers and special occasions.
This area offers a wide range of attractions for visitors, from views, beaches and wildlife to walks, riding trails and a cultural heritage spanning 5,000 years. Children will love Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, the West Somerset Railway and the various farms and zoos in the area. Adults will enjoy the wilderness of Exmoor Park, the magnificent Quantock Hills and Hestercombe Gardens, to name but a few attractions. And as Somerset is a county with sea, hills, moors, rivers and forests there is the opportunity to try any number of activities, from mountain biking, climbing and caving to golf, sailing, canoeing, clay pigeon shooting and fishing. There are lots of excellent pubs and restaurants in the vicinity – try the New Inn in Halse, The Globe in Milverton, the Carew Arms in Crowcombe, the Blueball Inn in Triscombe, the Rising Sun in West Bagborough, The Augustus in Taunton, and Podshavers near Bishops Lydeard.
