This expansive five-bedroom family residence, complemented by a detached one-bedroom annexe, is located in the sought-after village of Kingsbury Episcopi in South Somerset. Set on a generous 1.57-acre plot, the property boasts numerous outbuildings including a workshop and stable, solar panels, and low-maintenance gardens alongside a paddock, presenting significant potential for both personal enjoyment and investment. Higher Farm was established on the site of an earlier farmhouse and has been home to the current owners since 1992. The interior is versatile and comprises four reception rooms that can be easily adapted to various needs, making it ideal for families or those seeking multi-generational living setups.
Upon entering through the storm porch into the spacious entrance hall, you are greeted by an airy atmosphere enhanced by a galleried landing above. The first reception room features engineered oak flooring throughout the ground level, promoting continuity in design. The principal sitting room, measuring an impressive 22 feet in length, includes a multifuel burner set against a stone hearth—an inviting feature during colder months. The dining room adjoins the kitchen and opens through bifold doors to the rear garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The well-appointed kitchen incorporates plenty of storage with wall and base units as well as modern appliances that encourage social interaction with family or guests. A study/snug area connects naturally to the light-infused conservatory at the rear of the house.
Upstairs, residents will find generously sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes; notably, the master suite offers ample closet space and an en-suite wet room styled for modern convenience. Further bathroom facilities serve additional bedrooms effectively.
The annexe offers exciting opportunities for ancillary accommodation or rental income (subject to planning permission), featuring its own distinct access and outdoor spaces. Built in 2017 with large glass frontages ensuring abundant light throughout its living areas.
Outdoors is where this property truly shines—with extensive gardens accommodating several outbuildings designed for various uses including vehicle storage and workshops alongside a stable perfect for horse-keeping. The grounds include diverse landscaping options with both gravel areas and established plants enhancing aesthetic appeal. The versatility of this offering invites projects or development initiatives to enhance further value based on individual preferences.
Ideally positioned within reach of functional local amenities while retaining rural charm, Higher Farm presents investors or renovators with a blank canvas ripe for transformation.
