This quaint smallholding spans 3.5 acres and offers a wealth of potential in a sought-after village within the Blackdown Hills. Littlefields Farm has been in the same family's hands for nearly 70 years, originally serving various community needs including a Chapel and bakery before becoming a family home. The property, with its early 19th-century stone construction and slate roof, is ripe for transformation, offering versatile living spaces that could be modernized to meet today’s standards. The ground floor features a kitchen, lounge, dining area, and an interesting studio split into two sections with a toilet and mezzanine above—perfect for conversion into an impressive living space. Upstairs are four bedrooms alongside a family bathroom.
Situated just off the bustling centre of this popular village known for its pub and community hall, Littlefields Farm is also conveniently located near Buckland St Mary, which offers schooling options and local services. The surrounding Blackdown Hills are renowned for their natural beauty and pastoral landscapes interspersed with woodlands. Close by are the market towns of Chard, Ilminster, and Honiton; while Taunton lies about 10 miles north, providing extensive amenities and excellent transport links including access to the M5 motorway.
The property includes two sizable outbuildings previously utilized as workshops/galleries—each presents significant renovation opportunities (pending necessary permissions). One outbuilding has had ancillary accommodation approved in the past and features sturdy flint stone walls under a tiled roof with essential utilities available but currently disconnected. The second outbuilding boasts space for further development with its own mezzanine area and potential kitchen facilities.
The grounds include diverse areas such as pasture land and an orchard filled with fruit trees. Gardens wrap around the house leading to a paddock at the rear with parking provisions. Additional land across the lane includes another stone barn divided into two paddocks—a fantastic opportunity for those looking to invest in rural charm coupled with substantial redevelopment potential.
