Listed farmhouse with prime development option
March 2025
An attractive home together with an extensive development opportunity is the appealing offer of Chiton Trivett Farm, Cannington, which is on the market with development land and planning specialists Greenslade Taylor Hunt.
The package includes the Grade II listed farmhouse, set in large gardens, along with a residential development site for seven open market homes.
It is available as a whole at a guide price of £1,550,000 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 spokesman for GTH.
Set within three acres, the farmhouse enjoys mature gardens, an orchard and a tennis court. A traditional barn adjacent to the house has planning consent for conversion into a one-bedroom annexe. This could provide guest accommodation, multi-generational living or a home office.
Chilton Trivett Farm, Blackmore Lane, also provides a significant development opportunity. There is 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.
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.
Cannington is the gateway to the Quantock Hills and is also close to Hinkley Point, where EDF is building a new nuclear power plant, which is expected to create 3,000 new jobs in Somerset as the plant hits peak construction with around 15,000 working on site.
