Spacious farmhouse, annexe and stables set in circa 8 acres near Wedmore.
Circa 8 acres: paddocks, two larger fields and a stream
Stoughton Cross House is an elegant, double-fronted Grade II farmhouse set in circa eight acres of paddocks, formal gardens and outbuildings. The main house offers generous, versatile accommodation across three floors: a grand central hall, formal drawing and dining rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke units and an almost 30ft first-floor studio/office. The principal suite includes a dressing room, bathroom and sauna; there is clear scope to formalise the existing fifth-floor bedroom as a sixth bedroom if required. A one-bedroom self-contained annexe adds rental or guest potential and benefits from permission for long lets.
The estate is well-equipped for modern rural living, with solar panels, Tesla battery storage and two air-source heat pumps supplementing the oil-fired heating. Practical outbuildings include three stables, tack room, tractor shed, two hay barns and former garages (currently converted to storage), with paddocks and a small stream running through the fields. Mature, walled gardens and an arboretum create privacy and strong visual appeal.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be constrained and may require listed-building consent; this could complicate larger refurbishment projects. The garages are not in conventional use and have been adapted into storage rooms. Council Tax sits at the higher end (Band G) for this area. Overall, the house has been well maintained and combines period character with low-carbon features, making it suitable for an established family seeking space, an equestrian household, or a purchaser wanting an income-producing annexe.
