4 bedroom house

An attractive and beautifully presented former farmhouse and 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 recent years and now is a thriving profitable business. The high standards are maintained throughout both the cottages and farmhouse which have all undergone improvement works. The stunning location, with excellent views provide a great balance between accessibility to road networks, while being tucked away in an idyllic rural landscape. All the buildings have an abundance of inherent character and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 modernisation program making the most of the inherent features. The well laid out accommodation includes a spacious hall with convenient study area and cloakroom with WC. The refitted kitchen is well designed in a farmhouse style with integral appliances and 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 and a separate family bathroom. The master bedroom features a fabulous exposed roof frame and joists to roof height. The farmhouse has its own enclosed and well screened garden space which has a westerly orientation, making the best of the afternoon sun when it shines.
