If you've ever fancied waking up to sweeping countryside views, sipping local cider on your terrace, and wandering to that Pyramid Stage without wrestling for resale tickets - Hearne Barn in Lower Westholme, might just be your dream address.

On the market with Sandersons UK for a guide price of £1,000,000 to £1,250,000, this four-bedroom stunner is more than just a barn conversion.

It's a slick, light-filled blend of Blue Lias charm and contemporary cool, with just enough rustic edge to remind you you're still in Somerset. And yes, you can check out the full listing right now on the Sandersons UK website.

Inside, you'll find a properly sized kitchen-dining space built for dinner parties or slow mornings with locally roasted coffee. There's a wine fridge, a Belling farmhouse range, and underfloor heating - because even countryside toes deserve a little luxury.

The living room has a Blue Lias fireplace that practically demands a book and a stormy night, while a sunny conservatory offers a front-row seat to the garden. And did we mention the principal bedroom has a galleried landing and a Juliet balcony?

Still not enough? The real twist here is the massive bonus barn next door—with planning permission to convert it into a separate four-bed dwelling. Whether you're dreaming of a holiday let, multigenerational living, or finally launching that artisan cider brand from home, the potential is all there. You can find full planning details and explore every stylish corner of the main house here: Sandersons UK – Hearne Barn Listing.

The whole plot sits on just over an acre of land, with views for days, a hot tub that might just be negotiable, and enough parking to host the entire local book club (or your post-Glasto recovery squad). You're less than five miles from Wells, ten from Castle Cary station, and within easy reach of Bruton, Bath, and Bristol Airport.

And yes—residents here qualify for locals' Glastonbury Festival tickets. Try getting that deal in London.

So if you're ready to upgrade from dreaming to doing, take a proper look at this week's standout property from Sandersons UK: Click here for the full listing and gallery. This one might not hang around.
