Barton Road, Butleigh, BA6 8TH

A deceptively spacious and versatile five bedroom detached family home, set within a private plot of over half an acre on the fringes of this highly sought-after Somerset village.

Tucked away behind mature hedging and timber gates on the exclusive Barton Road, The Paddock is a substantial detached residence extending to some 4,066 sq ft (377.7 sq m) including its outbuildings, and offers exceptionally generous, light-filled accommodation arranged with genuine flexibility for modern family life.
