Barton Farm is an adaptable smallholding centred on a modern five-bedroom farmhouse (built 1991) with an attached two-bedroom annexe, substantial agricultural buildings and 21.47 acres of mainly arable and pasture land. The main house offers generous reception space, a large kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility and five double bedrooms, two with en-suites. The annexe (converted garage) provides independent two-bedroom accommodation and is not subject to the Agricultural Occupancy Condition.
The site includes substantial portal-framed barns, a large machinery shed/workshop and covered yards, plus a number of poly tunnels formerly used for soft fruit. The house benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing and cavity wall insulation, a south-facing deck and good road frontage with easy access to Bridgwater and the M5.
Important planning and legal points are material: the main dwelling is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition restricting occupation to those employed in agriculture or forestry. The lot is offered freehold and will be sold at auction. The vendors intend to impose a 30-year overage clause on Lot 1 and a specified field, which would trigger a 30% payment on uplift if planning consent for non-agricultural uses is granted (agricultural/horticultural/equestrian uses exempt).
This property will suit an agricultural occupier, rural business or investor seeking a productive holding with scope for enterprise. Be aware of limited broadband speeds (ADSL up to 15 Mbps), average mobile signal, and the need to inspect the outbuildings and poly tunnels for repair or repurposing. Prospective purchasers should check the exact wording of the occupancy tie and overage details before bidding.
