Meare Green, Wrantage, Taunton, Somerset, TA3

A historic and versatile farm with traditional principal house, secondary accommodation and productive land,
offering lifestyle appeal, established income and potential for growth

Description

Meare Court Farm presents an exceptional and highly adaptable rural holding, offering a rare combination of a characterful Grade II listed farmhouse, extensive secondary accommodation and a well-established, income-generating business set within approximately 87.9 acres of productive Somerset countryside.
At its heart lies a distinctive period farmhouse of blue lias stone construction, full of character and historic appeal, complemented by an unusually diverse range of additional dwellings including self-contained cottages, apartments and successful holiday lets. This broad mix of accommodation underpins a thriving hospitality enterprise while also providing considerable flexibility for multi-generational living or alternative residential arrangements. Beyond the residential offering, Meare Court Farm benefits from a comprehensive range of modern and traditional farm buildings which support both agricultural operations and commercial activity. These include livestock housing, general-purpose storage, workshops, a large roof mounted solar array and currently a cider processing facility with associated retail space, collectively forming a well-rounded and established rural business with multiple income streams already in place. The surrounding land forms a ring-fenced block, currently utilised for a combination of grassland and arable cropping, providing a strong agricultural foundation while also contributing to the wider setting and amenity of the holding. Importantly, the scale, configuration and diversity of Meare Court Farm offer significant scope for further evolution and enhancement (subject to the necessary consents). There is clear potential to expand the existing tourism and leisure offering, diversify into additional commercial or lifestyle enterprises, or reimagine elements of the built environment for alternative uses such as wellness retreats, events space, or further residential development.
Overall, Meare Court Farm represents a compelling opportunity to acquire an established yet forward-looking rural holding, combining lifestyle, income and agricultural appeal with tangible potential for future growth and diversification.
