Description

Nestled within approximately 3.25 acres, this Victorian-style farmhouse presents a blend of traditional charm and substantial renovation potential. Surrounded by extensive outbuildings and stabling, the property is well-suited for those interested in smallholding or equestrian pursuits. Located on the northern periphery of Fivehead village, this home offers a peaceful retreat while maintaining convenient access to nearby amenities in Langport (5 miles) and Taunton (10 miles). The area is supported by reputable schools, including Curry Mallet Primary and Huish Episcopi Academy, making it an appealing option for families. The village itself features a parish church, coffee shop, local pub/restaurant, garage, One Stop shop, and community hall. The farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated over the years to create a functional yet stylish living space. Accommodating three double bedrooms and three reception rooms, the layout includes a spacious conservatory that opens onto expansive gardens. The main living area is designed for modern family life with an open-plan kitchen that benefits from natural light through large windows and French doors. It features contemporary units complemented by granite-effect worktops and an oil-fired AGA for added character. Additional spaces offer versatility; one reception room serves as a potential dining area or playroom, while another boasts a woodburning stove. The ground floor also includes a practical shower room with heritage-style fixtures. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to three generously sized bedrooms—two of which retain original Victorian fireplaces—and a family bathroom equipped with shower-over-bath facilities. From an investment perspective, there are opportunities for further enhancement. Potential exists to extend at the rear of the property, subject to planning consent. Moreover, the substantial outbuildings include a stone barn that may lend itself to conversion (subject to planning permission), as well as additional storage space currently used for stabling. The external aspects of the property add significant value: approached via a sweeping tarmac drive that features scenic views over the surrounding fields and duck pond. The grounds consist of well-maintained lawns adorned with mature trees and hedgerows—ideal for outdoor gatherings or relaxation. This property benefits from practical amenities such as mains electricity and water supply along with private drainage solutions compliant with regulations. Oil-fired central heating ensures comfortable living year-round, while plans already in place for fibre broadband installation will enhance connectivity. In summary, this Victorian farmhouse offers not only unique charm but also extensive possibilities for renovation and development—making it an attractive prospect for buyers looking to invest
