For sale by public auction. Wednesday 15th May, 12pm. The Theatre, The Royal Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet. Bidding available in person, by proxy or online via livestream. Auction guide price £350,000 to £400,000* A charming Grade II listed former farmhouse set in approximately 1/4 of an acre of gardens.
Higher Bodden Farm is a charming Grade II listed former farmhouse set in the quiet rural hamlet of Bodden, close to the outskirts of Shepton Mallet.
The house retains a great deal of character throughout with exposed beams, flagstone floors, sash windows and a super Doulting stone fireplace in the sitting room. Having been the subject of some renovation and improvement works, the house now requires completing and offers the potential to be a wonderful family home.
On the ground floor there is a lovely entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, large cupboard and doors to the sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen is a traditional farmhouse style room with Belfast sink, fitted cupboard and former fireplace. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom. An inner hallway links the kitchen and sitting room, behind the stairs, and is believed to be the former pantry. The sitting room is dual aspect with an impressive stone fireplace with a wood burning stove. Steps lead from the sitting room down to a second utility/boot room which has a door to the front.
On the first floor there are three good double bedrooms and a large landing area that has been used as a study space. The bathroom has recently been completed with a traditional style suite and a freestanding bath.
Outside
The house sits in an enclosed garden of approximately ¼ of an acre with a large gravelled parking and turning area with space for several vehicles. There is a detached single garage to the side of the driveway. The garden is currently laid to lawn with some mature shrubs and trees and is a wonderful space and a blank canvas.
Agents note
The vendors will be looking to sell a parcel of land of approximately 1.4 acres later this year. The land is located just along the lane from Higher Bodden Farm. Further details are available on request.
