The house is sheltered from the north but has fantastic views to the east and south, which are totally unhindered due to its elevated upland setting. Detailed planning consent has been granted under Application No. 49/20/0018 dated 16th March 2020 to replace the existing farmhouse with a Georgian-style country house designed by Barnstaple-based Jonathan Rhind Architects. Consent has been granted for an impressive house, which will have lime/cement rendered walls with stucco detailing, painted sash windows brickwork chimney stacks, and will be embellished with a painted wrought iron trellis porch with a lead canopy, painted wrought and cast iron glazed veranda, and cast iron rainwater goods. The position of the new house will be orientated slightly differently from the existing house to maximise its southerly aspect thereby catching the sun through from early morning through to late afternoon. Internally the house has a large drawing room with a fireplace and windows on two sides facing south-east through to south-west. Adjacent to it is the large L-shaped kitchen/living room, which has a central kitchen area positioned between separate seating and dining areas. Also on the ground floor are a good-sized reception hall, study, store, boot room and cloakroom. On the first floor radiating off the central, galleried landing are five double bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. All but the fifth and smallest of the bedrooms will be able to see the lovely view. 5 5 2 c. 150 E Acres Adjacent Outbuildings The site for the new house is flat and level extending out to the east and south, with the hillside rising up behind the house to the north and west. Removal of the barns and concrete yard currently adjacent and below the existing house will provide ample space for the creation of a sizeable formal garden, with sufficient space for garaging and a swimming pool and/or tennis court. Facing the existing house is a timber chalet, which has historically been let for holiday accommodation. A Certificate of Lawful Development has been obtained to allow its potential demolition and replacement with more suitable secondary accommodation. Sited elsewhere on the farm are four further modern livestock/feed barns and a turkey house. Land Surrounding the farmstead are about 150 acres of free- draining and unspoilt Somerset farmland with truly panoramic views and offers great sporting potential. The land is divided into 21 separate fields of arable pasture, all bounded by livestock-proof fencing and/or mature field hedges. The setting of the farm provides real privacy and there are only two neighbouring farms, with the closest being about 0.4 of a mile away. A stream flows along the property’s southern boundary. There is a further block of 20 acres available by separate negotiation. Details can be obtained from the agent.
