Description
Occupying a glorious, elevated position within rolling countryside, North Wheddon Farm is an outstanding Georgian detached residence offering refined country living and versatility.
Beautifully restored and thoughtfully maintained, the property combines period character with elegant contemporary comforts, all within an idyllic rural setting enjoying far-reaching views down the valley.
Approached via a private driveway, the farmhouse sits within generous grounds and is complemented by an extensive range of outbuildings including stables, a detached barn conversion, and a self-contained attached flat, creating a rare opportunity for multigenerational living, holiday accommodation, equestrian use or ancillary income potential.
The principal residence extends to six beautifully appointed bedrooms, offering substantial family accommodation across well-balanced living spaces rich in Georgian charm and architectural character.
Elegant reception rooms enjoy excellent natural light and countryside outlooks, while original features blend with tasteful restoration.
Of the six bedrooms, two benefit from stylish en suite facilities, whilst the third bedroom enjoys the luxury of a freestanding bath positioned to take full advantage of the rural setting.
There is also planning permission in place for alterations to the kitchen.
Adjoining the farmhouse is a self-contained two-bedroom flat, offering further versatility and privacy. Equally suited to dependent relatives, staff accommodation or supplementary income.
Complementing the main house is a beautifully converted detached barn offering highly versatile ancillary accommodation arranged as a two/three-bedroom dwelling, ideal for guest accommodation, holiday letting or independent occupation.
North Wheddon Farm benefits from an impressive collection of traditional and practical outbuildings, including stables and extensive ancillary storage, offering excellent scope for equestrian pursuits, workshop use, rural business interests or further adaptation subject to the necessary consents.
The private driveway provides ample parking and a wonderful sense of arrival.
North Wheddon Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country house of considerable character and versatility in an exceptional setting.
The setting is one of the property’s defining features. Nestled within circa 17 acres of gently sloping pasture and surrounded by open countryside, the farmhouse enjoys an exceptional sense of peace and privacy whilst remaining conveniently accessible. A well-regarded local public house lies within walking distance, adding to the appeal of this highly desirable rural location.
