Hurley Farm is a rare opportunity to build a small country estate in a spectacular rural setting in Somerset with uninterrupted views over the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty. Planning Consent was granted in 2020 for the demolition and construction of a new country house.

On the ground floor proposed plans include a grand entrance hall leading to two spacious receptions rooms with large bay windows and a library/study with two sets of French doors that open onto the grounds. Plans also include an open-plan kitchen and breakfast room with an adjoining dining room and a utility room as well as a downstairs cloakroom. A central curved staircase leads to the first-floor accommodation where plans include a principal bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom and dressing room, two further guest suites with en suites and dressing rooms and an additional two double bedrooms also with en suites facilities. The property has been designed to take full advantage of the panoramic views through large bay windows and sash windows with many of the rooms also benefitting from a dual aspect providing a wealth of natural light.

Hurley Farm enjoys a secluded and peaceful position within its grounds of approximately 41 acres which include rolling meadows, paddocks bordered by mature hedgerow and large areas of parkland. Broughton Brook borders the eastern boundary with the grounds providing opportunities for equestrian use or for grazing livestock. Also within the property’s grounds are several outbuildings providing significant development potential subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The outbuildings could be converted into further accommodation providing opportunities for income potential or multi-generational living.
