Description

A Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse set in an elevated rural position near Marshfield, with open countryside views and a group of traditional stone outbuildings including a dovecote, cow byre, cart shed and piggeries. The four-bedroom property is offered as a restoration project, with a walled garden, boundary walls and a natural spring-fed pond forming part of the setting. Planning and Listed Building Consent applications for the farmhouse restoration and adjoining courtyard conversion have been submitted, with updated ecology surveys identified in the particulars as the outstanding matter. Consent for conversion of the outbuildings to ancillary accommodation was granted in 2021, and works began in 2024. The sale includes architect’s drawings, structural engineer’s reports, a Heritage Impact Assessment and a proposed Tom Howley kitchen, utility and boot room design. The particulars also report restoration of the stone mullion windows, front door, gate, railings, steps and some boundary walls, together with installation of a new underground three-phase electricity supply and sewage treatment plant. Historic materials have been retained for reuse. The farmhouse is around 20 minutes from Bath, with Bristol and the M4 also accessible. Marshfield has local shops, pubs, a school, a post office and a doctors’ surgery. Prospective buyers should independently verify the status and scope of all consents and the remaining restoration work, particularly given the listed status and the ecology matter noted in the particulars.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Springs Farm is a distinctive Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse with Cotswold stone outbuildings, a walled garden and far-reaching rural views. At £1.1m, its £375/sq ft is broadly in line with the local average, so the asking price is at least reasonable on that measure. The interiors shown are stripped back and unfinished, making this a substantial restoration project rather than a cosmetic refresh; the all-in purchase and works costs nevertheless look tight against local benchmarks, so the numbers call for careful scrutiny. Existing drawings, reports and retained historic materials provide useful groundwork, while the reported planning applications and earlier outbuilding consent need their status and conditions verified. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Shape a substantial restoration around the farmhouse’s Georgian character, original features and preserved historic materials.
  • The adjoining stone outbuildings, courtyard and walled garden offer scope to create a coherent rural home and setting; verify the planning and consent position before relying on conversion plans.
  • Maintained grounds, established trees, planted borders and a pond give the project an appealing landscape foundation.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors, exposed joists and incomplete finishes across the photographed rooms mean planning for a full interior rebuild and a longer, more involved programme than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Flaking finishes and staining are visible in a lower-level space; investigate the cause and extent as part of the restoration.
