Accommodation
The accommodation begins in the heart of the home, the kitchen, which features reclaimed pitch pine flooring, a range of fitted units with granite and beech work surfaces, a central island, an oil-fired Aga, and additional electric cooker. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful pantry, store room and broom cupboard. A bright and spacious dining room lies alongside, with timber beams, tall windows and French doors to the garden. This area also gives access to a first floor bedroom with en suite shower room. An archway leads to the original hall, where doors open into both a snug and a peaceful sitting room, each with fireplaces and views over the garden. A rear hall leads to a large utility/laundry room with plenty of storage and appliance space, and beyond this is a boot room and ground floor cloakroom.
The main staircase rises to the first-floor landing with airing cupboard and access to three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom includes an en suite shower room, while the other two bedrooms, currently configured as dressing rooms, can easily revert to use as bedrooms. The family bathroom comprises a panelled bath with shower screen, basin, bidet and WC. Altogether, the layout offers flexibility for family life or guests, while the blend of period character and practical improvements makes this a very comfortable home.
Outside
Approached via a gravelled drive that leads to a generous parking area, Priory Barn is set within mature and thoughtfully landscaped gardens, measuring 0.33 acres, that offer a great sense of privacy and seasonal colour. To one side, tall hedging and established planting screen the property from the road, while the main garden includes a shaped lawn, a paved terrace, a variety of flower and rose beds, mature trees and a small pond, creating a picturesque backdrop to the home. A charming summerhouse with timber-lined ceiling and French doors sits in a quiet corner, facing southeast to catch the morning sun. Beyond the garden, a substantial set of larch-clad and Oak framed outbuildings provides a range of interconnected workshops and studio spaces with power and lighting, ideal for crafts, hobbies or home working. These open onto a decked terrace and are complemented by several timber sheds, all linked via an oak-framed covered walkway that also houses a built-in pizza oven, adding further lifestyle appeal to this unique country property.
Location
Priory Barn enjoys a convenient rural setting just over two miles from Glastonbury, with the popular villages of Baltonsborough and Pilton nearby. Together, these communities offer a diverse range of cultural, commercial, educational and recreational amenities to suit most needs. The larger centres of Street, Bruton and Castle Cary are also within easy reach, while Bath, Bristol, Sherborne and Yeovil are all comfortably accessible for commuting or days out.
Baltonsborough itself is a desirable village, offering a general store, a traditional inn, primary school, and parish church. The neighbouring towns of Glastonbury and Street provide a wider choice of shops, cafes, leisure facilities and supermarkets. The M5 motorway (Junction 23 at Bridgwater) is approximately a 30-minute drive, connecting easily with the wider motorway network and major regional centres.
Directions
From Glastonbury go east on the A361 towards Pilton. After passing Millfield prep school on the right hand side continue for about a mile and take a right turn towards Baltonsborough. Continue this road for about a quarter of a mile and the property is one of two houses on the left hand side.
