5 bedroom detached house

South Harp Farm is brought to the market with no onward chain. Located in the peaceful hamlet of Wigborough, Lower Stratton just a couple of miles from the thriving village of South Petherton, this 16th century Grade II Listed stone and brick built detached house with thatched roof is offered for sale along with a field of just over 1/2 acre lying directly opposite the property.

Steeped in history and full of original features such as stone fireplaces, exposed beams and brickwork, mullion windows, vaulted ceilings and flagstone floors, South Harp Farm not only offers five bedrooms and three main reception rooms, but also three outbuildings housed in barns extending directly from the house. The rear garden is a tranquil private walled garden with gates that access the lane outside. Directly accross the lane at the front of the property is the field which offers both protected countryside views and also the potential for either equestrian or garaging relating builds, subject to the necessary planning advice. The electrics and heating have been kept up to date with heating and three phase electrics being installed in the barns making them suitable for a number of uses. The heating is via an oil fired boiler which runs both the house and barns on separate systems. The Aga also has capacity to heat the hot water and there is a back up immersion system as well. The sewerage is via a modern Klargester system. The thatch was renewed on the front of the house in 2019 and the rear in 2014.
