Grade II listed 17th‑century Cary stone farmhouse
Parsonage Farm is a handsome Grade II listed 17th‑century Cary stone farmhouse set in over 68 acres on the edge of Sutton Montis. Period features — exposed beams, flagstone floors and original fireplaces — give the house strong character and a warm, lived‑in atmosphere after generations of family ownership. The property sits around a large paved courtyard with substantial outbuildings and stables totalling more than 4,000 sq ft.
The accommodation is spacious and practical: two reception rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen with Aga, four double bedrooms and two shower rooms. Gardens include rolling lawns, mature trees and terracing for outdoor dining; a garage, workshop and a number of barns support equestrian, agricultural or hobby‑farming uses. Good road links via the A303 and nearby Castle Cary station make the location surprisingly accessible for a rural setting.
The site offers genuine development and renovation potential — several barns could be converted to ancillary accommodation or self‑contained units, subject to planning and listed‑building consent. That potential makes the farm attractive to buyers seeking a working equestrian/farming base, a substantial family home, or an investment redevelopment opportunity.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing will restrict changes and add consent requirements; significant conversions will need planning and listed‑building approval. The property will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic restoration to preserve historic fabric. Council tax is noted as expensive. Buyers should factor professional surveys and consent costs into their plans.
