Summary - Shodden Farm, Ford Road TA4 2RW
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Private rural setting with large barn and nearly ten acres.
Four/five bedroom farmhouse with master en-suite
A traditional stone farmhouse set in almost 9.8 acres, Shodden Farm offers a peaceful rural lifestyle within easy reach of Wiveliscombe and Taunton. The house provides flexible four/five bedroom accommodation, a generous kitchen/dining room, sitting room with wood burner, and established south-facing gardens that capture wide, uninterrupted countryside views.
Externally the property is notable for its mix of useful outbuildings: a large modern agricultural barn and a stone linhay, both useful for storage, small-scale livestock or hobby-farming. There is scope to reconfigure or extend the house — planning permission has been granted for a remodel including a bay window, balcony and rear extension, subject to Natural England approval. The extent of land offered is negotiable and the substantial overall plot suits equestrian, agricultural or amenity uses.
Buyers should note a number of practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters, mains drainage is not present (private drainage), and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. Council Tax band G and the EPC D reflect running costs that will be higher than modern equivalents. A previous barn conversion permission has lapsed, so any new conversion will require fresh consents.
This home will suit a family or smallholding buyer seeking privacy, broad views and outbuildings, and who is comfortable with countryside maintenance and some updating. Its combination of land, agricultural buildings and close proximity to local services make it a rare offering in this area, but buyers should factor in refurbishment and running costs when considering the purchase.
