Summary - NORTHAYES FARM HORNSBURY HILL CHARD TA20 3DB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious country home with eco upgrades and big conversion potential.
2.1 acres of south-east facing land with orchard and young woodland
Northayes Farm is an immaculate Victorian farmhouse set on 2.1 acres of south-east facing land, blending original character with modern, energy-efficient upgrades. The house offers four double bedrooms, a master ensuite, a large living room with a double-fronted log burner, and a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with walk-in pantry — ideal for family life and entertaining. The extensive plot includes young woodland, an orchard and meadow areas, providing plenty of outdoor space for children, pets and horticulture.
Energy performance is a standout: 6.7kW of solar PV, a 3kW home battery, a voltage optimiser and exterior wall insulation reduce running costs, while two EV chargers add practical low-carbon transport support. There are still Feed‑in Tariff payments remaining on 4kW of panels (12 years stated), and the upgraded grid connection could allow future renewable expansion (subject to Western Power permission). A substantial 76m² garage with power and water offers parking for multiple vehicles or conversion potential to ancillary accommodation (subject to consents).
Practical considerations are straightforward and transparent. Water is supplied from a private well and wastewater is handled by the property’s treatment plant, which keeps bills low but requires regular maintenance and buyer due diligence. Broadband speeds are reported slow, which may affect home-working despite excellent mobile signal. The property was built in 1842 — attractive for its period charm but meaning ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs may be needed.
This is a property for buyers seeking a large family home with strong eco-credentials, significant outdoor space and versatile outbuildings. It combines comfort and countryside privacy with clear opportunities to adapt or extend, provided you factor in utility arrangements, local crime levels and conversion permissions.
