- Exceptional far-reaching rural views and private access

A rare and substantial Grade II farmhouse set within c.188.7 acres of productive pasture, Sock Farm offers exceptional far-reaching Somerset views and a versatile range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings. The stone-built main house retains character features including an inglenook fireplace, hamstone mullion windows and historic doors, making it attractive for restoration or sensitive conversion (subject to listed-building constraints).
The farmyard contains over 2,100 sq m of mostly functional agricultural accommodation including cubicle sheds, Dutch barns, machinery stores and a stone garage, supporting continued livestock or mixed farming. The land is mainly level to gently sloping Grade 3 pasture divided into well-defined enclosures with internal trackways and soil suitable for grass production and some cropping potential.
Buyers should note important practical and legal considerations: the farmhouse is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations, the farmhouse drainage infrastructure is redundant and will require replacement before occupation, and the redundant slurry pit and some roofs contain fibre cement/asbestos which may need specialist remediation. There is currently no central heating system reported and walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so refurbishment works are likely to be required to upgrade living accommodation.
This holding will suit farming families, equestrian uses, or investors seeking an agricultural estate with development potential subject to consents. There are no BPS entitlements included. The freehold sale includes sporting, timber and mineral rights as understood, and the vendors reserve the right to hold a machinery dispersal sale prior to completion.
