Townsend Farm House,Pit Hill Lane,Moorlinch,BRIDGWATER,TA7 9BT
TA7 9BT
4 bed 2 bath Character Property
Spacious village home with outbuildings and conversion potential.
Over 3,000 sq ft of flexible period accommodation
Townsend Farm House is a substantial Grade II listed thatched cottage offering more than 3,000 sq ft of flexible living in a peaceful Somerset village. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, flagstone floors, deep-silled windows and two inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves — creating warm, atmospheric reception spaces and a generous family room with direct garden access.
Accommodation suits family or multigenerational use: four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms, including a convenient ground-floor bedroom and bathroom. The mature, secluded garden, stone boundary wall and gated carport add privacy and practical outdoor space. A large stone-built workshop, store, lean-to and separate outbuilding provide useful workspace and clear potential to create a guest annexe or holiday let, subject to necessary consents (STPP).
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s listed status will complicate alterations and require specialist consents and maintenance for the thatch. Low ceilings in parts of the cottage and period fixtures may limit some modernisation choices. Council tax is above average and broadband/mobile are average to fast, but the rural location means services are more limited than urban areas.
Overall this is a rare, character-rich home for purchasers who value historic fabric, generous internal space and outbuilding potential. Those seeking an easy, low-maintenance modern house may find the property requires ongoing, specialist upkeep and planning-led decisions for any conversion or major works.
