Brookhampton Farmhouse is a substantial, characterful four-bedroom home set on about one acre at the edge of North Cadbury. The house retains many period features — exposed stone, flagstone floors and a vaulted drawing room — arranged over well-proportioned rooms that suit family life, entertaining and flexible working. A self-contained, well-sized room over the garage is currently used as a home office and could suit a studio, hobby space or ancillary use.
The gardens are a standout feature: mature trees, structured lawns, sheltered terraces and productive fruit trees give privacy and seasonal interest. A stone outbuilding and summerhouse add usable garden accommodation and conversion potential (subject to consents). A gravel driveway provides off-street parking for several cars and the plot feels private and sheltered.
Practical notes to consider: the house is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators and has an EPC rating of D. Built before 1900 in traditional sandstone/limestone, the walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation. Council tax is described as expensive and local mobile and broadband speeds are average. Flooding data is inconsistent in sources — one note states low probability from rivers and the sea; the supplied flood‑risk flag is medium, so buyers should check up‑to‑date flood maps and insurance costs.
The property sits in a popular village with a primary school, village shop, pub and farm shop, and is within easy driving of Castle Cary station (mainline services to London). This will suit families seeking countryside living with good local amenities, professionals wanting rural home‑working options, or buyers looking for a substantial period house with garden development potential.
