A wonderfully situated stone farmhouse with substantial modern all purpose barn, found in a peaceful and hidden valley close to the small town of Wiveliscombe.

Shodden Farmhouse is believed to have been built approximately thirty years ago of natural local stone elevations, under a roof of slate. The accommodation provides a reception hall, a sitting room with picture window enjoying the glorious views and fireplace with wood burning stove. The hall leads then into the particularly spacious kitchen/dining room with a range of panelled fronted wall and floor mounted cabinets. The principal staircase leads from the kitchen up to the two double bedrooms adjoining the family bathroom, both bedrooms enjoying lovely views. The principal bedroom also enjoying the views and having an en suite bathroom. A further staircase leading from the hall beside the shower room and study/bedroom 5 leads up to a further bedroom.

Planning permission has been granted, subject to approval from Natural England, to remodel the accommodation, which would include extending the sitting room into the hall, adding a bay window and a first floor balcony to the principal bedroom. A further extension to the rear to provide a galleried reception hall and the addition of a utility room. In addition to the main house there is an intriguing and enchanting Linhay with stone columns across the front, originally a home for cattle with feeding trough, a further single storey pillared barn offers great potential to create summer entertaining space and on the first floor, a large opening leads into a large haybarn. The barn once had planning permission to create a three bedroom dwelling, now lapsed.

The obvious improvement to the property, carried out by the previous owner, is the substantial all purpose agricultural barn, which could provide endless opportunities for storage or equestrian interests. The barn has been built to a particularly high specification, has an electrically operated roller door, a staircase to a mezzanine level and an internal secure store room. An outside door under the deep overhang, leads into a lobby with a cloakroom and a further secure store.
