This stunning barn conversion is located near Wells in the Mendip district of Somerset. The property boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, spanning 3,164 square feet, and sits on a generous 4,001 square foot plot. The images reveal a high-quality, modern conversion with exposed beams, a large open-plan kitchen/living area, and a conservatory offering expansive views of the surrounding countryside. There is also a home gym and a cinema room. The property appears to be in excellent condition, with modern fixtures and fittings throughout. The extensive grounds include well-maintained lawns and landscaping. The average house price in the area is £545,714, with an average price per square foot of £244. While the provided nearby listings lack square footage data, making direct comparisons challenging, the list price of £1,715,000 for this property seems high considering the local average. However, the size, condition, features (gym, cinema room), and substantial plot size of this particular property justify a higher price point than the average. The property’s unique character as a barn conversion and its exceptional views also contribute to its value. More data on comparable properties would provide a more precise assessment of the price’s reasonableness. The location, near Wells, is attractive. While transportation details are absent, the proximity to several schools, including Stoberry Park School (rated ‘Good’), suggests a family-friendly environment. The surrounding area’s natural beauty is a significant positive aspect of the location. The property clearly benefits from a substantial amount of land, significantly larger than the average plot size in the area. This adds considerable value, especially given the rural setting.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
