House For Sale £1,595,000
An excellent development opportunity comprising a detached 5/6-bed Farmhouse in need of full renovation and a separate 2 bed cottage which has been luxuriously appointed. There are a range of outbuildings, including planning permission for a 3 bedroom barn conversion and an additional 1 bedroom barn conversion, as well as pasture land extending in all to approximately 6.13 acres (2.48 ha).
Manor Farm is a former dairy farm that had been in previous ownership for generations and now offers prospective buyers’ a fantastic, unique development opportunity close to Glastonbury, whilst living in a luxuriously appointed 2 bedroom cottage which has already been converted.
The principle farmhouse is a large stone built, detached residence set over three floors. Requiring full refurbishment this property offers ample space throughout and retains a plethora of period features, as well as stunning countryside views. The accommodation comprises a ground floor with living room, former kitchen, back house and former apple room. On the first floor the accommodation comprises a master bedroom, study/office, with an additional three bedrooms and bathroom suite. On the second floor the property comprises a total of three attic rooms with restricted head height to part. The property has been unoccupied for several years and requires complete modernisation and refurbishment throughout. The current owners have had development plans drawn up which are available to view upon request.
Situated to the west of the Farmhouse is a detached cottage which the current owners have already redeveloped extensively to an exceptionally high standard, with features including a Laura Ashley kitchen with oak worktops and imported Italian marble tiles, as well as exposed beams and stonework.
Immediately to the front of the property is a hardstanding area offering ample off road parking, together with a traditional stone and tile former cow stall, which has planning permission to be converted, with plans drawn for a detached, one bedroom residential property (planning ref: 2022/1987 North Barn). To the rear of the main residence is a steel framed workshop building which now benefits from planning permission to be redeveloped. Plans for a three bedroom conversion are available for viewing (planning ref: 2022/1988 South Barn). Both these buildings have electricity. Situated to the south of this workshop building is a large farmyard area and former agricultural buildings which require modernisation or replacement in due course and could potentially be used for alternative uses subject to the necessary statutory consents, offering further scope for potential buyers.
The property occupies an attractive rural position on the edge of the village of West Pennard, Nr Glastonbury Somerset. The land is situated in an elevated position, with excellent views across the Somerset Levels and Moors, as well as being within a few minutes of the Glastonbury Festival site. As such, the property currently benefits from complimentary tickets to the festival. Manor Farm enjoys easy access to the nearby town of Glastonbury and good routes to the surrounding villages and to the city of Wells which is situated a short distance to the north and offers a wide range of retail facilities. The private school of Millfield is situated only a short distance to the west (5 miles). The A361 borders the property immediately to the north being the main through road in the village of West Pennard, but offers excellent links to the surrounding road network. Junction 22 of the M5 motorway is situated approximately 17 miles to the west offering links to the wider motorway network.
The property is approached via a gated entrance off from the main road and is set behind a recently rebuilt stone wall. The front area currently provides ample off road access, as well as access to the farmhouse, the cottage and the front barn. The driveway continues up past the farmhouse and cottage, towards the rear barn and additional agricultural units.
The principle land is situated to the south of the main Farmhouse and buildings and is sloping in gradient. The land is laid to permanent pasture and is classified as Grade III under the DEFRA land classification map. The pasture land extends to 4.69 acres (1.89 ha) or thereabouts and is bordered by mature hedgerow boundaries and trees. The land has the benefit of excellent views towards the Somerset Levels & Moors and to Glastonbury Tor which is situated to the west of the property.
