Location
Lower Clavelshay Farm is situated in a private location in the Quantock Hills, a particularly unspoilt area of Somerset. Clavelshay is a hamlet situated to the north of the attractive villages of West Monkton, Thurloxton and North Petherton which between them offer a wide range of facilities and good local pubs. It is also situated about 6.5 miles north of the county town of Taunton and 6 miles to the west of Bridgwater. Both towns offer day to day facilities including supermarkets, surgeries, numerous independent shops and restaurants. The M5 motorway at Junctions 24 or 25 are both within 5 miles and give very good access to the national motorway network. There is a regular train service from Taunton to Bristol, the midlands, or London Paddington with the fast train to London taking less than two hours. The regional airport at Bristol is within easy reach. There are an excellent range of state and independent schools in the area including Taunton School, Kings College and Queens College in Taunton plus Wellington School (some 12 miles away) and Millfield (20 miles).


The Property
The barn comprises a substantial south-facing detached stone and tile traditional agricultural building situated between Lower Clavelshay Farmhouse and the more modern farm buildings, which currently have consent for conversion to provide a further five dwellings. Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of the barn to two no. semi-detached dwellings comprising a three-bedroom dwelling with a proposed gross internal area of about 180sqm/1,937sqft and a two-bedroom dwelling (with a galleried landing and a sitting room with partially vaulted ceiling) with a proposed gross internal area of about 150sqm/1,615sqft. In addition to the principal barn, there is a useful mono-pitched agricultural machinery storage building to the east. The site totals 0.96 of an acre offering ample space for parking and landscaping to gardens.


Method of Sale
The property is offered for sale by private treaty with a guide price of £400,000.


Planning
Planning permission was granted in April 2024 under application reference 37/23/00099 by Somerset Council (Sedgemoor District) for the conversion of the barn to provide two no. dwellings.


Services
The purchaser will need to install a private water and drainage system to service the proposed dwellings. There is an electricity cable connected to the barn, but the meter has been removed. A new meter will therefore need to be installed for this supply.


Wayleaves, Easements, & Rights of Way
The property will be sold with a right of access over the farm drive running down from the road, as shown coloured in brown on the site plan.


Health & Safety
Potential purchasers are required to take particular care when inspecting the property, being mindful of machinery and livestock movements in and around the buildings, and potentially uneven and slippery ground surfaces.
