• Exceptional privacy, ring-fenced land and superb access to Wedmore, Wells, Bristol and Bath

A compelling proposition for buyers seeking a design-led country home, space for family and friends, and an immediately productive rural enterprise — all within comfortable reach of the South West’s key centres.
Whether you envision boutique holiday lets, wellness retreats, celebrations, or simply a remarkable private estate, Box Farm is set up to deliver from day one.

Just 2 miles away, Wedmore is a quintessential English village with an exceptional range of amenities — ideal for morning coffee, local shopping and relaxed evenings in excellent pubs and restaurants.
Wells and Glastonbury are close by for culture and convenience, while Bristol, Bath and Taunton provide straightforward commuting, shopping and transport connections.
Set in unspoilt countryside, Box Farm enjoys near-total privacy, screened by long-established hedgerows and mature trees.
Electric timber gates open to a sweeping driveway edged by stone walls, willow and horse chestnut, branching to serve each part of the estate.
The farmhouse sits to the east with two cottages nearby, while the third cottage lies to the west. The drive continues to extensive parking (including a helicopter landing pad) and the principal outbuildings.
Beyond, the meadows provide additional road frontage. The land is ring-fenced and the whole extends to over 11 acres.
The Farmhouse (Grade II listed)
Dating back to at least the 17th century (with Tudor origins), the farmhouse is a handsome Grade II listed stone home beneath a double Roman-tiled roof. Thoughtfully evolved over generations, it retains the authenticity buyers look for — flagstones, substantial beams, inglenook fireplaces and rich oak, elm and pine timbers — while offering versatile, family-sized accommodation.
A practical rear entrance (stable door) opens to a generous porch — perfect for boots and coats — and into the main hallway. Three distinct reception rooms provide space to entertain, unwind and work from home.
The sitting room is an impressive 27 ft x 17 ft with an inglenook fireplace and traditional shutters. The adjoining front hall has a garden door, while the snug is a warm, characterful retreat with beams, flagstones, an inglenook, fitted cupboards and bookshelves.
The dining room, again with flagstones, beams and a generous inglenook fireplace, links through to a back hall with pantry storage and on to the kitchen.
With a pitched ceiling and tiled floor, the kitchen is designed for serious cooking and easy gatherings: extensive cabinetry, breakfast bar, granite worktops, Belfast sink, tiled splashbacks, integrated fridge and dishwasher, plus a substantial range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens.
From the inner hall, a side hallway leads to a utility room, a sixth bedroom and a family bathroom — an ideal guest/au pair wing or flexible ground-floor accommodation. The utility provides a sink, plumbing/space for washing machines, shelving and houses the central heating boiler.

From the landing, a door opens to a steep staircase up to bedroom four — a characterful vaulted room with beams and some restricted headroom. Bedroom five is also on the first floor, reached via a steep staircase from the dining room, and enjoys a pitched vaulted ceiling with exposed rafters and a Velux rooflight.

Gardens and Garaging
A stone archway links the driveway to the lawned front garden, enclosed by stone walls and mature hedging and complemented by well-stocked flower and shrub borders, paved paths and established holly and fig trees. To the rear is a large paved terrace, sheltered by a magnificent willow — a natural spot for long lunches and evenings outdoors — with a convenient garden cloakroom close by. On the west side of the house, a substantial garage building provides generous vehicle space plus a large, shelved storage area.
The Cottages
Three beautifully positioned cottages broaden the lifestyle and income potential: Ravenswood (a detached cottage with full residential planning consent) and two well-presented holiday cottages, Mackays and Veritys, arranged as a pair of semi-detached units within their own courtyard. Each has its own independent outdoor space, creating genuine privacy for guests.

Ravenswood — An attractive detached cottage to the west of the drive, ideal for family overflow, staff, or a standalone let (subject to individual requirements). It offers a generous sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, a staircase to a bedroom, plus a kitchen, a second bedroom and a bathroom, all complemented by its own private garden.

Mackays and Veritys — A pair of semi-detached cottages set around their own courtyard. Both are well fitted, well furnished and proven as highly appealing holiday lets.
Mackays features an open-plan sitting room and well-appointed kitchen, two bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a separate bathroom.
Veritys offers a large sitting room with an adjacent kitchen, two bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a separate bathroom. Both cottages open from the sitting rooms onto private terraces — perfect for BBQs and relaxed summer evenings — with a shared paved area featuring a fire pit. Beyond lies a further lawned garden and a tranquil lily pond.
Outbuildings, Yard and Railway Feature
Beyond the house and cottages, the drive continues to a substantial yard (approx. 135 ft x 65 ft), currently marked as a helicopter landing pad and complete with a flagpole flying the Orkney flag. The yard is flanked by a 28 ft x 30 ft garage and store, with an enclosed small storage yard. A wonderfully distinctive detail sits behind: a length of railway track supporting a 1924 brake van (built in Derby; LMS 731340; 20 tons), installed by British Rail engineers.

The Land
The land lies to the north of the property: level, permanent pasture in excellent heart, bounded by mature hedgerows and trees and arranged as two attractive meadows. It also benefits from access onto a very quiet ‘no through’ lane to the north. Crucially, its position relative to the house and cottages offers genuine scope to enhance the lifestyle and/or business element (subject to any necessary consents — purchasers should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority). All or part of the land can be excluded from the sale if not required.
The Business
Box Farm has been run as a thriving holiday and events accommodation business for many years, capitalising on Somerset’s enduring popularity for both week-long stays and premium short breaks. At around 2.5 hours from London, it is particularly well placed for long weekends and group getaways. The layout is a major strength: the farmhouse and cottages can be booked together for larger parties or let individually, offering excellent flexibility for occupancy and income.
About the Area
Wedmore is a vibrant, highly regarded Somerset village — a true ‘liveable’ centre with historic charm and a notably strong community.

Castle Cary mainline station is also within reach, and Bristol International Airport is approximately 15 miles away.
