This Grade II listed historic farmhouse, rooted in the 1600s, presents a unique opportunity for those looking for a property with substantial renovation and investment potential. Set within the charming village of Wedmore, this residence boasts both an elegant Georgian façade and an array of period features that could be further enhanced through thoughtful updates.
Upon entering, the flagstone hallway leads you through the heart of the home to the expansive living and dining areas, each adorned with original flagstone floors and characterful inglenook fireplaces. Both spaces are well-lit, thanks to large Georgian French doors that open onto the front garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen and breakfast room come equipped with a gas AGA and ample space for socializing or casual dining. It includes fitted units and granite worktops but offers significant opportunity for modern renovation to create a bespoke culinary space reflective of contemporary preferences. The adjoining butler’s pantry/laundry area adds functional charm while providing additional storage solutions.
Currently utilized as a library, the third reception room has versatile potential; it features beautiful French doors leading to the garden along with a convenient downstairs shower room, making it suitable for guests or as an additional bedroom if desired.
The first floor hosts five generously sized bedrooms adorned with wide-planked flooring, all demonstrating the quality construction typical of this era. A standout feature is the family bathroom which combines practicality with style—a sizable freestanding slipper bath complements its functional layout.
A notable highlight is the expansive attic room spanning the full length of the house. Currently serving as a playroom, this light-filled space has potential for conversion into a principal bedroom suite or other creative uses, pending necessary permissions.
Externally, a delightful courtyard connects to mature gardens featuring varied terraces and separate stone outbuildings. Among these is a former bakery—now functioning as a studio—that could serve many purposes according to your vision. Additionally, there’s considerable potential in the large two-storey barn; currently used as storage but with planning permission secured for conversion into a two-bedroom dwelling (Planning Application Number 50/99/00070), providing an excellent avenue for rental income or guest accommodations.
Wedmore itself enhances this property's appeal with its vibrant community atmosphere, located just seven miles from Junction 22 of the M5 motorway. The village offers various amenities including shops, pubs with excellent dining options, recreational facilities like tennis courts and cricket fields, alongside educational institutions ranging from highly regarded state schools to prestigious independent schools such as Millfield and Sidcot.
