Lower Hill Farm is a substantial, characterful detached farmhouse set in about 5.6 acres with far-reaching countryside and coastal views. The house offers genuinely flexible accommodation across multiple reception rooms and seven bedrooms, including three en-suites — ideal for multigenerational families or those needing separate living wings. The kitchen/family room extends to over 32ft and has a predominantly glazed end wall to maximise views and light.
Outdoor amenities strongly support hobby farming and equestrian use: completed stables (2016), three paddocks, spring-fed ponds, mature woodland and a large workshop/outbuilding with parking and courtyard. The property sits at the end of a no-through lane within walking distance of Kilve Beach and the Quantock Hills, giving easy access to walks, bridleways and village facilities.
Practical downsides are material and should be factored into budgets: the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is E, heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are very slow. The house relies on private drainage; council tax is Band G which is relatively expensive. Mobile and data coverage are average/limited in places.
Overall, this is a rare, flexible country home with significant land and usable outbuildings. It will suit purchasers seeking space, privacy and equestrian or smallholding potential, and those prepared to invest in energy improvements and connectivity upgrades.
