Description

This Grade II listed farmhouse is set in an elevated position, providing expansive views across the surrounding countryside. Nestled within approximately 10.88 acres of land, the property features several outbuildings, including a substantial barn and a stable block, offering considerable renovation and development potential for the discerning investor. The farmhouse itself showcases a traditional layout with a welcoming reception hall, a spacious drawing room enhanced by a minster fireplace, and multiple living spaces including a sitting room with wood burner and charming window seats. The dining room features an inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, adding to the character of the home. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with an AGA and ample space for dining, along with practical utility provisions. On the first floor, you will find five to six bedrooms — one currently utilized as an office — along with two bathrooms and a shower room. All bedrooms boast delightful views of the surrounding landscape. The property also benefits from a store room for additional storage needs. Outside, mature gardens complement productive vegetable beds and an orchard, while paddocks provide space for equestrian use or other agricultural pursuits. The collection of stone outbuildings holds great promise for conversion into additional living spaces or leisure facilities (subject to necessary planning permissions). Located in Wiveliscombe, this property enjoys access to a supportive community featuring amenities such as shops, schools, recreational facilities, and weekly farmers markets. It’s conveniently positioned within easy reach of Taunton for broader shopping options and transport links to London Paddington via mainline rail services. With no onward chain and significant potential for further development or modernization throughout both the farmhouse and its extensive grounds, this property presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to invest in rural lifestyle enhancements or future projects.
