Foxcote, Somerset, BA3

Approached via a quiet country lane through the hamlet of Foxcote, Holmelands is a unique and characterful four-bedroom barn conversion offering generous living space and tremendous potential for improvement. Brimming with period charm, this rare gem provides the perfect opportunity for buyers looking to personalise a substantial home in a peaceful and highly desirable rural location.

Inside, the sense of space is immediately apparent. The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, flowing through to a superb principle reception room — a grand, double-aspect space filled with natural light and featuring exposed beams, stone detailing, and a striking fireplace at its heart. A separate formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, connects seamlessly to the generous country-style kitchen, which in turn opens into a practical utility and boot room with access to the gardens. A cloakroom and additional ground floor shower room add to the home’s functionality.

Upstairs, the flexible layout offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with enviable views across the surrounding gardens and countryside, with potential to complete an impressive principle room which already features a divide for en suite and dressing room. The first floor also includes a family bathroom, with scope for updating to suit modern tastes.

A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the front of the house, with ample parking, gated access to the rear, and a large double garage. The gardens are a true highlight: just under two acres of mature lawned grounds part-bordered by dry stone walls and surrounded by open fields, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The land offers potential for a variety of uses — from formal landscaping and outdoor entertaining areas to equestrian or smallholding possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.

While the property would benefit from updating, it offers a rare combination of size, charm, and setting — unlisted, with vast scope to improve and extend if desired, all offered with no onward chain.

Foxcote is a hamlet located in the Mendip Hills in Somerset, an area of outstanding natural beauty with rolling hills and open countryside providing rural walks and cycling.
