Baybrook Farm is a sympathetically refurbished 19th-century farmhouse set in circa 3.5 acres of south-facing gardens, river frontage, paddocks and outbuildings. The main house, self-contained cottage and one-bedroom holiday let (‘Katy’) offer flexible multi-generational living with immediate rental income and further conversion potential from existing outbuilding connections. Period features — flagstone floors, exposed beams and open fireplaces — combine with contemporary upgrades including a walk-in pantry, modern bathrooms and an RHI-registered biomass boiler.
This property will suit families seeking space and privacy or buyers wanting an income-generating rural bolt-hole. The cottage has separate access and the holiday let has strong occupancy history; the outbuildings hold lapsed planning for an additional let and already have water, sewerage and electrical connections in place. The double garage includes an EV charging point and there is ample driveway parking.
Important practical points are clear: broadband is very slow and the property uses private drainage; the plot and buildings will require ongoing maintenance given the extensive gardens, sheds and paddocks. Planning for the outbuilding conversion has lapsed, so buyers should factor time and cost to reapply if they want to proceed. There is a medium flood-risk note on file — prospective purchasers should verify current Environment Agency data and consider appropriate insurance.
Overall, Baybrook Farm offers a rare mix of character, roomy accommodation (c.4,114 sq ft), and income potential in a peaceful hamlet close to Wells and Glastonbury. It’s ideal for families wanting countryside lifestyle with separate annexed living, or for purchasers seeking a holiday-let business with scope to expand.
