Description

An attractive & beautifully presented former farmhouse & successful holiday cottage complex in a charming rural but accessible location on the edge of the Mendip Hills.

Introduction - This superb home and income opportunity has been successfully overhauled in the recent past & now is a thriving business. The high standards are maintained throughout both the cottages & farmhouse which all have an excellent standard of presentation. The stunning location, with excellent views provide a great balance between accessibility to road networks, while being tucked away in a idyllic rural landscape. All the buildings have an abundance of inherent character & charm, while the gardens and grounds have been lawned to provide an easily maintained open space. This property represents a great opportunity to walk into a well-run existing home and lifestyle business with quality owner’s residence & future growth potential.

Situation - Home Farm lies within the hamlet of Barton at the foot of the Mendip Hills, just 2 miles to the west of Winscombe. Winscombe provides an excellent range of local amenities with several shops, pubs etc. A wider range of amenities can be found at Cheddar and the coastal resort of Weston-Super-Mare, while Bristol city centre is just 19 miles and its flourishing airport 11 miles. The property has convenient access to road networks, with the A38 approx. 2 miles & the M5 Junction 21 6 miles. The Mendip hills (an AONB) provide a good amenity for walking riding and mountain biking with paths giving direct access within yards of the property and the world-famous Cheddar Gorge not far away.

The Farmhouse - A beautifully presented, modernised & improved Grade 2 listed house dating from 17th century origins according to the listing. The property features excellent character and charm along with a sympathetic modern presentation making the most of the inherent features.

The well laid out accommodation includes a spacious hall with convenient study area & cloakroom with WC. The refitted kitchen is well laid out in a farmhouse style with integral appliances and slot in range cooker. Two large reception rooms both feature period fireplaces including an inglenook and exposed beams. On the first floor are four bedrooms, two with ensuites & a separate family bathroom. The master bedroom features a fabulous exposed roof frame and joists to roof height. The farmhouse has its own enclosed & well screened garden space which has a westerly orientation, making the best of the afternoon sun when it shines.

Frys Barn; sleeps 4
Bakehouse: sleeps 2

Gardens, Outbuildings And Grounds - A 5-bar gate with side gate open on to a gravel driveway leading down the side to parking areas and access.

A detached Dutch barn is currently used for storage with other potential uses. Beyond the cottages are the twin double garages with power and light connected. Adjoining the rear of the garages are a row of outbuildings which include a guest laundry, business laundry and storage facility. Beyond this the gardens continue providing lawned space, car parking area and a productive enclosed kitchen garden with 2 greenhouses. Beyond this is the remainder of the grounds which form two large open grass spaces, which could equally provide a paddock and limited livestock grazing.
