Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Lot 3: stone barn with consent for conversion together with former implement shed with permission for conversion within 2.20 acres. Further lots available and adjoining land possibly available.

LOCATION
Branchflower Farm is conveniently situated a short distance to the south of the rural centre of North Petherton which offers a wide range of day-to-day facilities including a range of shops, a primary school, and church. A wider range of shopping, scholastic and recreational facilities are available in the Somerset County Town of Taunton (about 7 miles to the south) which also offers fast trains to London Paddington. Access is available to the M5 motorway at Junction 24 (about 2 1/2 miles to the north).

Lot 3: Stone barn with consent for conversion together with the neighbouring implement store with permission for conversion, adjoining yard area and paddock. In all, 2.20 acres.

Permission was granted for the conversion of the stone barn by Sedgemoor District Council in January 2022 (application reference 37/21/00151) to provide a two bedroom dwelling with a gross internal floor area of 93.7sqm as shown on the plans below. In addition, permission was granted for the conversion of the implement store by Sedgemoor District Council in October 2021 (application reference 37/21/00104) to provide a two bedroom dwelling with a gross internal floor area of 56.8sqm as shown on the plans below. Lot 3 is offered together with part of the adjoining yard and paddock to the east and extends in all to 2.20 acres.

TENURE & POSSESSION
The freehold of the property is offered for sale with vacant possession available upon completion.

METHOD OF SALE
The property is offered for sale by private treaty.
The guide prices for the Lots are:
Lot 3: £325,000

PLANNING
Permission was granted by Sedgemoor District Council for the conversion of the buildings to dwellings under application reference 37/21/00151 and 37/21/00104 in respect of Lot 3.

EASEMENTS
Depending on whether the site is sold as a whole, in lots, or a combination thereof, the relevant easements will be granted for access and services as required.

SERVICES
The farm buildings are currently serviced by a single mains electricity supply and a spring fed water supply. The successful purchaser(s) will need to install separate supplies to service the proposed dwellings. The vendors intend to make a new mains water supply available to service the development and the farmhouse. Further details are available from the agents. Mains gas is available in the road.

HEALTH & SAFETY
The site currently comprises a working farmstead. Potential purchasers are therefore required to take particular care when inspecting the property, bearing in mind especially the risk of sudden movements from machinery, vehicles and livestock which may be present and operating at the time of inspection, especially in and around the farm buildings. Potential purchasers are requested to wear supportive footwear for viewings, and are advised to be conscious of potentially uneven and slippery ground surfaces.

OVERAGE
Lots 2 and 3 will be sold subject to an overage provision. Should permission be granted for additional development, the vendors will be entitled to 25% of the uplift in value for a period of 25 years from completion of the sale.

LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Sedgemoor District Council

VIEWINGS
Viewings are strictly by appointment only.

DIRECTIONS
Heading towards North Petherton on the A38, the property will be found on the right hand side a short distance after the left turning signed Shearston.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
