Lower Church Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse dating from 1738, set at the end of a long tree‑lined drive with far-reaching pasture views. The principal house extends to about 2,300 sq ft, with original features such as exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and a 27ft sitting room, offering strong character and setting. The property sits in circa 17.34 acres of pasture divided into paddocks and larger fields, suitable for smallholding, equestrian use or lifestyle acreage.
The house requires renovation and reconfiguration to modern standards; single bathroom, dated services and parts of the fabric will need attention. A private septic system serves the property and a new treatment plant is expected to be required by the purchaser. Heating is oil‑fired with woodburners; broadband is very slow in practice despite fibre availability to the area.
There are substantial outbuildings including a long stone/brick barn with workshop, double garage and large timber cubicle shed (circa 13m x 12m) offering useful storage or conversion potential, subject to listed‑building and planning consents. The grounds include a large garden with pond, summerhouse and a stream with a wooden bridge linking to adjoining fields.
This farmhouse will suit a buyer seeking rural character and significant land, comfortable with a project and the constraints of listed status. Its position close to Wincanton and the A303, and within easy reach of Bruton’s schools and rail link, gives practical accessibility alongside a very private, agricultural setting.
