6 bedrooms across main house and converted barn
Holywell Farm is a substantial period long house set in very large, mature grounds in Stoughton Cross, just over a mile from Wedmore. The main house retains strong character: beamed ceilings, stone inglenook fireplaces, flagstone and terracotta floors, south-facing living rooms and a 23' principal bedroom with en suite. A converted barn provides independent two-bedroom accommodation with its own garden and could suit relatives, rental income or a home office.
The estate sits around a private courtyard with orchard, outbuildings, double carport and vehicular access. Gardens are extensive and diverse — formal lawns, fruit trees, a willow by a shallow brook and natural wooded areas reached by a small bridge. Practical spaces include a well-equipped kitchen with an AGA, walk-in pantry and separate utility, plus substantial workshop/storage buildings.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric details: heating runs on a community oil scheme, the barn has an EPC rating of E, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent. The property’s age and traditional construction mean ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required in places.
Holywell Farm will suit buyers seeking a character-rich family home with flexible ancillary accommodation and strong rural privacy. It offers immediate liveability with scope to modernise, improve energy efficiency, or develop the barn/outbuildings subject to consents.
