Pauls Ash Farm, Winsham, Somerset, TA20 4EF

An attractive smallholding in the popular and well-served South Somerset village of WInsham together with a range of useful outbuildings and set in just under 8 acres.

Paul's Ash Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful country property set within beautifully maintained gardens and grounds extending to just under 7.6 acres.

Offering a unique combination of residential accommodation, useful outbuildings, a substantial modern barn and a purpose-built commercial kitchen studio, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting on the outskirts of the popular South Somerset village of Winsham.

Having remained in the same family ownership since 1968 the property was arranged into two individual flats shortly thereafter, comprising ground floor and first floor accommodation, although it continues to be registered as a single dwelling.

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to three large single garages.

Surrounding the house are delightful cottage-style gardens, thoughtfully planted and carefully maintained, creating an attractive setting throughout the seasons.

The holding extends to just under 7.6 acres with the majority laid to paddocks, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural, equestrian or lifestyle pursuits.

A particularly noteworthy feature is the studio extension, added in 2020 with the necessary planning permissions and consents in place for use as a small commercial kitchen facility.

Benefiting from air conditioning, the studio offers excellent potential for food production, catering enterprises, home business use or a variety of alternative purposes, subject to any required consents.

Supporting the property is an extensive range of outbuildings.

These include a substantial modern barn, approximately three years old, measuring around 18 metres x 9 metres, together with a collection of traditional agricultural buildings.

These structures may offer further scope for alternative uses, subject to planning permission and the necessary consents.

The property benefits from a private water supply situated on neighbouring land, with established rights for its use.

A pump room is located within the grounds, whilst the neighbouring cottage retains rights relating to the water supply arrangement.

The main dwelling has been well maintained over the years, with the roof having been replaced approximately 25 years ago and the fascias and soffits more recently redecorated.

Combining rural charm, useful accommodation, productive land and a versatile range of buildings, Paul's Ash Farm offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a flexible country property with potential for a wide variety of uses.

The property is situated towards the outskirts of Winsham which is vibrant and much sought after village on the Somerset/Dorset border, surrounded by glorious traditional countryside and only 12 miles from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis.

Local amenities include a community run village shop with post office, inn primary and pre-schools, church and village hall and a host of village activities.
