About the property:
Steeped in character and brimming with potential, Breach Farm is ready for a new chapter. The main house is currently arranged with two/three reception rooms, two bedrooms, a large kitchen/family room with an oil-fired Aga, a ground floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom. A former 43’ cheese room offers significant scope for additional living or bedroom space.
The adjoining two-bedroom annexe has its own entrance and could be seamlessly reintegrated with the main house or used independently—ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or holiday letting (subject to any necessary consents). It connects to a traditional stone barn and stable, offering further development opportunities.
Outside, the grounds wrap around the house and include lawns, a productive vegetable garden, apple trees, and an array of charming outbuildings. The garden also enjoys partial views of Glastonbury Tor, making this an inspiring rural retreat.
About the inside:
Entry is via the rear kitchen door, where you’ll find a welcoming kitchen/family space centred around a traditional Aga. A large utility room includes a walk-in pantry, shower room, and a connecting (currently boarded) door to the annexe.
Two spacious reception rooms sit to the front of the house, one featuring a beautiful inglenook fireplace and flagstone flooring. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms enjoy views over open countryside, and are served by a family bathroom. One bedroom also features attic access and an internal door to the annexe.
The unconverted cheese room spans the width of the rear and offers a dramatic, flexible space ready for transformation, with another connecting door to the annexe.
The annexe:
With its own front door, the annexe comprises a bright sitting room with bay window, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room opening to the rear, two bedrooms, and a bathroom (accessed via the principal bedroom). A hallway also provides potential access back to the main house, if desired.
About the outside:
Mature gardens surround the property, offering a mix of open lawn, established hedges and trees, a vegetable patch, and productive apple trees. A new driveway will be created across a small paddock to the west, and part of the rear field will be incorporated into the garden.
A covered verandah runs along the back of the house and connects to a corrugated iron outbuilding and a brick-built outhouse. On the eastern side, a two-storey stone stable and hayloft, along with further outbuildings, provide substantial scope for conversion (subject to planning).
Breach Farm is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore and reimagine a beautiful period property in an enviable countryside location. Whether you’re looking for a unique family home, multigenerational living, or a project with development potential—this property offers endless possibilities in a truly special setting.
