A beautifully restored and renovated Grade II listed 4 bedroom detached farmhouse, occupying grounds of 1.2 acres with flexible accommodation, stunning views, detached barn (with full residential planning permission for an additional dwelling), two driveways and southerly facing gardens.


It’s an honour to bring to market this majestic, stand-alone and hugely versatile four bedroom detached farmhouse, situated in its own grounds of circa 1.2 acres, with breath-taking views, additional detached barn with residential planning permission and occupying an exclusive position in the incredibly sought-after village of Seavington. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, family room, study, WC and utility to the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a family shower room to the first floor. The current owners have meticulously and sympathetically renovated this enchanting property to provide the perfect blend of original charm and modern-day living. The kitchen/dining room is a perfect example of this with a modern and bespoke kitchen complemented by flagstone flooring, exposed beams and stone-mullioned widows. A fabulous setting for family gatherings and entertaining and the envy of any guest. The dual aspect sitting room is a great space to relax with an impressive central fireplace (with wood-burner) providing practical warmth and a lovely focal-point. The family room could be utilised in a number of ways including snug, hobby room or even gym whilst the designated study area will prove advantageous for those needing to work from home. There are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom to the first floor which are all currently served by the sumptuous and modern family bathroom. It should be noted that the master bedroom could incorporate an ensuite depending on one’s needs. The principle bedrooms all benefit from a southerly aspect and outstanding views to the gardens and rolling countryside beyond. A further staircase gives access to a good size attic room which opens itself up to further potential accommodation subject to the necessary consents. Adjoining the house there is a substantial barn with Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent (SSDC Ref 17/04821/LBC), which would be ideal as an annexe, separate dwelling or holiday let. This will undoubtedly attract those looking for multi-generational living and/or an income stream. Court Farm offers any buyer the most incredible home, especially for families and those looking to situate themselves in stunning surroundings in a picturesque village in the heart of South Somerset.

Seavington St Mary and St Michael are situated about three miles east of Ilminster, surrounded by open countryside with a Parish Church, Public House and Community Shop/Cafe. The pretty village of South Petherton is nearby, which also offers a range of day to day amenities, although almost equidistant to the market town of Ilminster. Ilminster is a Medieval former market town, situated about 12 miles south east of the County Town of Taunton and surrounded by undulating open countryside. The centre of the town is dominated by the ancient Minster. Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, (junction 25 lies to the north-west) and also to the A303. There are mainline railway stations at Crewkerne (London Waterloo) and Taunton (London Paddington). The World Heritage designated coastline lies 18 miles to the South.

Court Farm occupies a generous and idyllic plot of more than 1.2 acres and is approached from Upton Lane with private driveway leading to the large parking and turning area adjoining the house and barn. The barn which the current vendors use as garaging and storage together with a workshop, has planning permission for conversion into further accommodation if required. The gardens lie principally to the south of the house and barn and are laid to lawn with shrubs and fruit trees. There is a vegetable garden with raised beds, greenhouse and shed. It’s the most magical setting for child’s play, entertaining and enjoying through the warmer months. Those with green-fingers and those looking for a taste of the good life will appreciate the vast blank canvas and for the romantic-minded, there are few better places for star-gazing and sunsets. To the west of the garden there is a grass track which gives a second vehicular access leading down to the village road. With the necessary consents this driveway could be continued to the main residence giving both the barn and house independent and private driveways.
