Grade II listed thatched farmhouse with substantial period features
Includes self-contained one-bedroom annexe with underfloor heating
Approximately 4 acres of gardens, paddock and outbuildings, fishing rights
Thatched roof recently maintained; stone walls likely uninsulated
Main house EPC E; annexe EPC C — energy upgrades likely needed
Oil-fired central heating for principal house; solar panels and EV charger present
Public footpath across driveway/paddock; bridge replacement currently proposed
Slow broadband and average mobile signal in this rural hamlet
Set within the peaceful hamlet of Hinton, this Grade II listed thatched farmhouse combines authentic period character with flexible modern living. The main house offers four large bedrooms, generous reception rooms with exposed beams and a farmhouse kitchen with an AGA. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe (the Stables) provides independent accommodation or rental potential and benefits from underfloor heating and an EPC C rating.
The property sits on approximately four acres of gardens, paddock and outbuildings, with an island paddock that includes fishing rights. Practical eco-features include solar panels and an EV charging point; parking is available on the gravel forecourt. The thatch has been maintained recently and the stone elevations retain strong historic appeal.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate insulation or modernisation works. The main residence currently has an EPC rating of E and an oil-fired boiler with radiator heating; cavity or wall insulation is assumed absent in the original stone walls. Broadband speeds are described as slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider for remote working. A public footpath runs along the driveway and across the paddock; Somerset Council has temporarily closed a section while a replacement bridge is proposed.
This home will suit buyers wanting a character-filled country lifestyle with large outdoor space and useful ancillary accommodation — those prepared to accept listed-building constraints and invest in energy upgrades. The annexe and land offer clear scope for income, hobbies or equestrian use, while the setting provides privacy and open rural views within easy reach of Yeovil and local schools.
