This substantial Grade II listed countryside home offers an interesting opportunity for renovation and investment, set within a generous ¾ acre plot. With parts of the property dating back to the mid-18th century, it combines historical charm with significant potential for enhancement.
The residence features five bedrooms, with the principal rooms having been updated in the last decade. The layout includes a large kitchen/diner that spans almost 500 square feet, providing ample space for both cooking and dining. It is equipped with Shaker-style cabinetry, modern appliances, and charming elements such as a fireplace with a Hamstone hearth. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that could serve as an additional functional area or be adapted into an annexe given its separate access point.
Entering through a stable door into a welcoming porch leads you to the central hallway which boasts flagstone flooring and under-stairs storage. The study or snug features handmade timber paneling and a wood-burning stove, presenting another versatile living space that retains its historical character.
The first floor comprises five double bedrooms. While many of these spaces require cosmetic updates and redecoration, they offer various possibilities for customization based on personal preferences or rental potential. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite and dressing room, while secondary bedrooms have retained original features like stained floorboards and sash windows.
The exterior of Lockyers Farm reveals further potential with a detached triple garage featuring an upper loft room that could be transformed for multiple uses—from office space to guest accommodation. In addition to this, there’s an open barn structure on the property that may be restored or repurposed depending on planning permissions.
Situated in Burrowbridge, this home is near local amenities including a well-regarded pub and boasts easy access to larger towns like Langport, Bridgwater, and Taunton. The property's location provides excellent communication links via the M5 motorway and rail services to London Paddington.
Surrounded by landscaped gardens filled with wildlife-friendly hedgerows, this property is not just about the house itself but also offers attractive outdoor space that could further benefit from thoughtful landscaping or development in line with local regulations. This unique combination of historic features and modern conveniences makes Lockyers Farm an intriguing prospect for those looking to invest in a project with considerable upside potential in a desirable countryside location.
