Positioned in a tranquil setting between Clayhanger and Ashbrittle, Westcott Farm offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled close to the picturesque Brendon Hills along the Somerset and Devon border, this property benefits from proximity to small towns like Bampton and Wiveliscombe, which provide essential services, including healthcare and education. Larger towns such as Tiverton, Wellington, and Taunton are easily accessible, with mainline rail connections to London Paddington available at both Tiverton and Taunton. The M5 motorway can be reached conveniently at Junction 26 in Wellington or at Junctions 25 and 27 in Taunton and Tiverton.
The farmhouse itself encompasses approximately 2,681 sq ft (249 sq m) of living space that is ready for modernization. The layout features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a kitchen and breakfast area equipped with an Aga set against a charming inglenook fireplace. There’s potential to restore the original bread oven behind the fireplace for added character. The dining room includes a log-burning stove, while the adjacent sitting room boasts a traditional fireplace—both spaces offer inviting areas for family gatherings. The first floor presents four spacious double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite shower room.
Adjoining the farmhouse, you’ll find a stone barn with an upper loft space that could be repurposed or restored alongside an L-shaped stable building encompassing part of the property's old courtyard. To enhance its charm further, there is also a redundant stone store on the western side and a timber stable within the paddock at the rear of the house.
Set on approximately 3.36 acres, the land features multiple pasture paddocks that present further development opportunities or agricultural use. This expanse allows for various options whether it be equestrian pursuits or expanding residential space.
While utilities include mains electricity as well as private water and drainage systems, potential buyers should note that renovation will likely be necessary given its current energy efficiency rating of F. There is also an existing public footpath traversing part of the property which may appeal to those interested in outdoor activities.
Westcott Farm is offered as freehold with vacant possession upon completion, marking it as an ideal project for investors looking to breathe new life into this spacious farmhouse while enjoying all that rural Somerset has to offer. Viewings are available by appointment for those who wish to explore this promising investment opportunity further.
