PROPERTY
In the recent past, Moat Farm has been let on a commercial Farm Business Tenancy which expires on the 29th September 2022. The farm has been servicing a productive dairy enterprise but is suitable for a wide range of agricultural, equestrian or lifestyle uses. Set back from the council maintained road, the farmhouse stands in its own lawned gardens enjoying views across the open farmland. A short distance away with separate road access is a further detached 3-bedroom cottage.
The holding is supported by a good range of predominantly modern dairy, livestock and other farm buildings, ideal to support various livestock or equestrian enterprises. The land which lies to the south and east of the house and farm buildings is serviced by council-maintained roads and consists of numerous level, good-sized fertile enclosures. The topography and nature of the land also offers additional biodiversity opportunities.
LOCATION
Moat Farm is located some 3 miles from Frome and is within easy reach of the nearby towns of Bruton, Shepton Mallet and Westbury, all of which offer a range of day-to-day facilities including supermarkets, surgeries and other shops. The property is also within easy reach of the cities of Bristol and Bath which offer a range of shopping, scholastic and social facilities.
Frome and Westbury train stations offer regular train services to London Paddington. There are further mainline railway stations at Yeovil, Bristol and Bath. There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including West Pennard primary school, St. Dunstan’s in Glastonbury, Crispin School in Street, Wells Blue School, Millfield senior and prep schools in Street, Wells Cathedral School, Downside School in Bath, All Hallows and Kings Bruton.
