LOCATION The property is situated at Clanville on the edge of Castle Cary. Castle Cary is an attractive small market town offering a wide range of day-to-day facilities, whilst Castle Cary Station is on the mainline and offers fast trains to London Paddington in under two hours. The nearby popular town of Bruton (about five miles away) offers a wider range of shops and restaurants and the larger towns of Wincanton and Shepton Mallet are also within easy reach of the property, as well at the A303 which can be joined with ease at Podimore, Sparkford or Wincanton. The area offers a good range of schools with Ansford Secondary School at Castle Cary together with excellent local independent schools nearby including King’s Bruton, Bruton School for Girls, Sexey’s, Millfield, Hazlegrove and All Hallows. The site is located next to the Heart of Wessex railway line. This is not the mainline to/from London Paddington, it is a minor single track railway from Bristol to Weymouth. PROPERTY The barn with permission for conversion measures about 70’ x 45’ and comprises a steel framed, block and fibre cement building with a concrete floor. The plans currently provide for the conversion of the barn to provide, on the ground floor, accommodation comprising: • Entrance Hall • Kitchen and Dining Room with bi-folding doors • Sitting Room • Three Double Bedrooms with en-suite facilities • Fourth Double Bedroom • Family Bathroom • Utility Room • WC The land which runs to the south and west of the barn comprises part of a level pasture enclosure and the property offered for sale extends in all to one acre.

TENURE & POSSESSION The freehold of the property is offered for sale with vacant possession upon completion of the sale. PLANNING Permission was granted in September 2021 by South Somerset District Council for the change of use of the building into a dwelling (application reference 21/02440/PAMB). The development must be completed within three years of the date of the permission in accordance with the plans. However, potential purchasers may wish to explore the potential of submitting their own plans for the conversion or apply to remove the building and replace it with a new-build dwelling. SERVICES The site has the benefit of mains water. There is a mains electricity pole adjoining the site. The purchaser will need to install a private drainage system to service the property.

Potential purchasers are requested to wear supportive footwear for viewings, and are advised to be conscious of potentially uneven and slippery ground surfaces.
