This traditional estate farm has been enjoyed by the same family for 200 years. It was originally a tenanted dairy farm with a typical mixture of land use to service the herd; in more recent years some of the land has been cultivated for arable crops and grazed, and the extensive farm buildings used to rear beef cattle. The farm sits in a secluded position surrounded by its own land, offering far-reaching views of the surrounding landscape and Mendip Hills. The farmhouse and buildings are approached down a long tree-lined driveway from Rankers Lane, offering privacy and protection. Wick Farm is a wonderful example of a residential mixed farm with considerable opportunities to modernise, expand and further develop for agricultural or alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The farm is for sale as a whole or in up to two lots as follows:

Lot 1 – Grade II listed farmhouse with two reception rooms and six bedrooms | Stables | Beautiful orchard garden | Three-bedroom detached cottage | Traditional courtyard of former dairy buildings | Extensive portal frame farm buildings | Grain stores | Productive arable land | Pasture | Beautiful valley and mature woodland | About 262 acres (106 ha)

Lot 2 – Productive arable land | Pasture | Woodland | About 158 acres (64 ha)

About 420 acres (170 ha) in total

Wick Farm is nestled amongst beautiful rolling countryside between the Somerset villages of Compton Dando, Marksbury and Hunstrete. The farm is well located for access into the popular city of Bath and commercial centre of Bristol, both within about a 9-mile drive.
