Breach Farm is a unique opportunity to acquire a property that has not changed hands in a century, presenting significant renovation and investment potential on a half-acre plot in a desirable rural setting. This detached period home features five bedrooms, making it an ideal canvas for those looking to create a personalized family residence while also potentially expanding its functionality for various uses.
The main house currently consists of two to three reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/family area that is highlighted by an oil-fired Aga. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, along with a convenient ground-floor shower room and an additional bathroom upstairs. Notably, the former cheese room spans an impressive 43 feet and offers great potential to be converted into extra living space or additional bedrooms, enhancing the overall value of the property.
Adjacent to the main residence is a two-bedroom annexe that boasts its own entrance, providing flexibility for multigenerational living or the possibility of generating rental income through guest accommodation or holiday rentals (subject to obtaining necessary consents). This separate living space connects seamlessly with both the main house and traditional stone barn, which further opens up options for development.
Surrounding the house are mature gardens featuring various elements such as expansive lawns, a productive vegetable garden, and established apple trees. The grounds also provide partial views of Glastonbury Tor and include several outbuildings that could be renovated or repurposed for different uses. Plans are underway for a new driveway leading across part of the property’s paddock, enhancing access while increasing usability.
Inside, the layout is functional yet holds immense potential for modern updates. The kitchen/family space welcomes natural light and opens into a large utility area with ample storage. The front reception rooms retain charming original features like an inglenook fireplace and flagstone flooring. The attic access from one of the upstairs bedrooms adds further versatility.
Located in West Pennard—a village known for its community spirit—Breach Farm enjoys proximity to essential amenities including public houses, village halls, churches, and primary schools. A short drive connects residents to Wells and Glastonbury for more extensive services, including regular markets. For commuting needs, Castle Cary offers mainline rail services to London Paddington within 12 miles, while Bristol Airport is only 18 miles away.
Educational facilities are well-catered for with Millfields Prep nearby and reputable secondary schools such as The Blue School in Wells. The area is also rich in recreational opportunities with various sporting facilities available including leisure centres in Shepton Mallet and Wells
