This handsome and versatile small farm occupies an elevated position on a plot of more than 37 acres and is one and a half miles from the hamlet of Waterrow, just over four miles from Wiveliscombe, while Taunton is 14 miles away.

The property has a tremendous amount to offer and comes with a five-bedroom farmhouse, three detached holiday cottages, stables, a ménage, several large agricultural outbuildings, two fishing lakes, open fields and woodland.

The main farmhouse is Grade II listed and dates back to the 16th century. Over the years it has been extensively and sympathetically modernised and is currently arranged as two self-contained cottages with an interconnecting door on the first floor, but it could be used as one dwelling. One cottage has a large, beautifully-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integral appliances, a dining room with an attractive beamed ceiling, a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, and on the first floor, three bedrooms, a dressing room and a high specification bathroom. The adjoining cottage also has a charming sitting room, a fitted kitchen/diner, a shower room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Beyond the main house, the three detached holiday cottages are beautifully presented and provide an established income. The cottages offer varied accommodation with a high-quality, luxury feel and have been successfully let for many years.

Outbuildings include an open fronted machinery store, a large well-fenced ménage and a livestock and stabling barn that would suit a number of other uses including as a large equestrian American barn style stable.

Also outside, next to the main house, the grounds include a recently designed and landscaped rear garden with several dining and entertaining spaces, a large well-tended lawn and attractively planted borders.

The land is mostly permanent pasture with an area of woodland with two well-stocked fishing lakes.
