A COUNTRY house near Bridgwater – complete with tennis court and an orchard – is up for sale.

Chilton Trivett Farm, in Cannington, is on the market with development land and planning specialists Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH), with an asking price of £1.55 million.

As well as the Grade II listed farmhouse, set in large gardens, the property also includes a residential development site for seven open market homes.

The site is available as a whole or in three lots.

“The farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire an historic yet well-maintained country home, with further potential to personalise and enhance,” said a GTH spokesperson.

The farmhouse enjoys mature gardens, an orchard and a tennis court, they said, as well as a traditional barn adjacent to the house, which has planning consent for conversion into a one-bedroom annexe.

The property, in Blackmore Lane, also provides a significant development opportunity, with full planning permission for four detached dwellings on the site and two additional dwellings with Class Q consent – allowing conversion of agricultural buildings into homes.

However, positive discussions with the planning authority have indicated the proposed conversion could be replaced with two new-build four-bedroom homes, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the spokesperson said.

“Finally, there is the chance to transform two traditional barns into a single, impressive countryside home. Somerset Council gave detailed planning permission to convert the barns into a substantial three-bedroom detached home, with space for a home office, gym, playroom and car port,” they added.
