Nutwell Farm is a rare find with a private entrance lane winding down through the farm’s own fields to the secluded, un-listed house and buildings.
Totalling 185 acres, the farm is one of few within the medieval parish of Raddington, Somerset, a short distance south of the Exmoor National Park and Brendon Hills. Despite its privacy, the farm is within easy reach of Wiveliscombe, Bampton, Taunton and the M5 at either Junctions 25, 26 or 27.
In need of some updating, the house itself has a south-facing aspect and overlooks a range of ponds and pasture with potential for multi-generation living on one site provided by the ‘Shoot Lodge’, which was used as an annexe in the past, as well as the attached round-house.
The former dairy is an attractive stone building and, alongside the modern farm buildings in the lower yard, may provide potential for conversion for a multitude of uses (STP). There is also a higher yard which includes a modern agricultural workshop and storage to the rear.
The land surrounds the house and buildings with its interesting topography having provided a perfect setting for a family and friends shoot in the past. The farm land includes some productive arable and pasture fields which have been used to grow cereal crops, and more sloping pasture used for grazing livestock. Nestled within its own valley, there are no footpaths or bridleways near to the house and buildings, but there are bridleways on the fringe of the farm offering beautiful hacking on your doorstep.
Along the north-eastern boundary is a belt of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland with a stream flowing along the eastern boundary. There are tracks and paths (no public footpaths) through the woodland with the stream burbling to one side. These woods also formed part of the shoot with cover crops grown above.
The farm is available to purchase in its entirety at a guide price of £2,600,000 or, in two lots. If you are searching for a farm in the West Country with privacy, we highly recommend that you contact Stags on 01392 680059 or farms@stags.co.uk to arrange a viewing appointment.
