Set behind a private gated entrance, this Grade II listed former farmhouse has been sympathetically and tastefully renovated to offer flexible family living across generous accommodation. The main house and attached secondary residence provide true annexe potential or dual-occupancy use — ideal for multi-generational families or someone wanting rental income. Character features such as sash windows, fireplaces and handmade kitchen units remain alongside modern upgrades including solar panels, an EV charger and a recycled rainwater tank.
Externally the plot is a major asset: approximately 0.65 acre of formal gardens, multiple outbuildings and a heated outdoor swimming pool sit adjacent to an attached paddock of about 4 acres (c.5 acres in all). Practical outbuildings include a large workshop suitable for hobbies or car maintenance, greenhouses, sheds and a changing room for the pool. Ample off-street parking and good road access to the M5 and nearby Highbridge train station support commuting and day-to-day life.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate further extension or significant change, and the property carries an expensive council tax band. The wider area is classed as having older farming communities and some local deprivation, though local crime risk is low and primary/secondary schools nearby are rated Good.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful country residence offering a rare combination of period charm, modern services and extensive grounds. It suits families needing space and flexibility, buyers seeking income/annexe options, or those wanting equestrian/hobby land immediately usable with minimal works.
