For Sale4 Bedroom Farm House in Blackmore Lane, Cannington, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA5£1,750,000

A wonderful development opportunity including a beautiful Grade 2 listed period farmhouse Farmyard Development Site This is an exciting opportunity for a developer to create a boutique collection of high quality detached rural dwellings in a well-located setting with excellent access & delightful surrounding countryside views. Full planning consent has been granted for 5 new dwellings on one side of the driveway and a positive pre-app was received from the local authority in June 2024 for 2 further detached dwellings on the other side (using the fallback position from a positive Class Q determination). The new dwellings have been designed to provide an exciting selection of high quality accommodation offering an attractive choice of sizes and styles. Most of the planning consents were granted before the new BNG requirements, meaning that only 2 of the new build dwellings will generate a requirement for BNG. Further significant benefits of this site include a nil liability for CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) and being outside of the phosphate offsetting zone, all reducing costs and increasing viability. A summary of the existing accommodation and planning consents is provided below. The areas (sq.ft.) provided are indicative only and cannot be verified by Strutt & Parker. Access into the property is via an existing single track tarmac driveway off the quiet local road and sufficient land will be included to enable widening Chilton Trivett Farm Development Site Beds SQFT 1.

The farmhouse dates originally from the 17th century with more recent additions and provides up to 3,277 square feet of accommodation with four bedrooms and plenty of original character. The farmhouse has well-proportioned reception rooms, high ceilings and several elegant period features, including ornate ceiling mouldings and tiled flooring. The ground floor has a comfortable drawing room and sitting room, a formal dining room and a useful study. The kitchen has fitted storage units and integrated appliances, while there is also an Aga in the kitchen/dining area within a large (but currently bricked over) inglenook fireplace. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining room which could be used as a dressing room or converted into an en suite bathroom. The generous principal bedroom has extensive fitted storage and intricate ceiling plasterwork, while the first floor also includes a large, recently updated family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, dual washbasins and a separate walk-in shower. The farmhouse has been almost entirely re-roofed in 2022. Farmhouse grounds The farmhouse site features a traditional barn immediately adjacent to the house, with residential planning consent for a one bedroom annexe (planning ref: 13/20/00029). To the rear of the farmhouse is an expansive garden of around 3.5 acres with an orchard, tennis court, red brick garden walls and a pond (all in need of restoration). At the front of the house is a private driveway and parking area, partly screened from the farmyard by a row of tall trees. Together this all presents a fantastic opportunity to create an impressive countryside dwelling when restored, with acres of space. IMPORTANT NOTICE Strutt & Parker gives notice that: 1.
