A substantial development opportunity in Limington offering traditional stone farm buildings and a large courtyard on c.0.42 acres (0.17 ha). Somerset Council issued a positive pre-application response for conversion of the barns to residential use — documentation is available — making this a strong prospect for a developer or investor prepared to manage listed-building constraints.
The buildings retain historic character: stone walls, tiled roofs, timber beams and a mix of former stables, grain store, garage and steel-framed machinery store. The plot sits on a quiet no-through lane close to Ilchester and Yeovil, with excellent road links (A303) and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical for conversion or a bespoke rural project.
Important drawbacks are clear and factual. The buildings are listed by association to the farmhouse and lie within the Limington Conservation Area, which will restrict work and may complicate consent and costs. Mains services (water, electricity, sewerage) have been disconnected for several years and will need reinstating. The buildings require significant repair and refurbishment; the site includes a steel Dutch barn with an earth floor and open-elevation storage barn unsuited to immediate residential use.
Sale will be by public auction (freehold, vacant possession) — purchasers should allow time to review the pre-application response, obtain specialist listed-building and structural advice, confirm utilities and factor in potential additional costs and statutory consents before bidding.
