Higher Shute Farm is a superbly located property sitting within circa 42 acres of its own pasture and delightful, well-stocked gardens and orchard. Lovingly restored by its current owners, it includes a barn annexe, separate studio and further outbuildings in addition to the main house
Constructed around the beginning of the nineteenth century on the site of an earlier building, the house is of attractive local stone under a slate roof, offering spacious and airy accommodation with unusually high ceilings for this type of property. It was substantially re-built by the current owners in 2001, who have subsequently added the large oak-framed drawing room and garden room in a design consistent with the original, offering modern standards of comfort in a traditional style. The property has oak double-glazed windows throughout, with underfloor heating serving all stone or tile-floor surfaces and acoustic insulation in internal walls. Both house and annexe have fibre broadband access.
The core of the main accommodation is the large kitchen and the fantastic principal drawing room with its spectacular southerly views across the gardens to the valley beyond. The drawing room/garden room is a particular feature of Higher Shute Farm and unexpected in a property of this age and style. It is light and airy and adaptable to both everyday use and wonderful entertaining space.
The entrance hall takes you past the main reception through to the large, open plan kitchen and dining area at the very heart of
the house. With an open fire and aga, French doors to the verandah and stable door to the rear garden, the kitchen will adapt to any season and is undoubtedly the focal point of daily life. Off the inner hall, there is a walk-in larder, utility room and a further, smaller sitting room. From this inner hall the original front door opens onto the verandah and gardens.
At the top of the oak staircase you will find the spacious master bedroom, with dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, one of which is currently used as a study, and a further guest bathroom. On the second floor there are two further substantial bedrooms with good head height and plenty of under-eaves storage, plus a third bathroom.
The annexe, which is separately rated, is a converted barn, developed by the current owners with the same attention to style and detail as the main farmhouse. This spacious accommodation has one bedroom, a bathroom and open plan living/dining/kitchen area, with room for additional seating outside. The studio is currently used as a ceramics studio but could be adapted to other uses.
Higher Shute Farm is approached down a long drive, accessed off a quiet country lane just over one mile from the centre of Huish Champflower. The drive arrives into a yard bordered on one side by a row of traditional outbuildings and a former milking parlour, a rose garden and a soft-fruit garden on the other. Situated above the traditional outbuildings, that are now used as a log store, a potting shed and for garden equipment storage, is a productive vegetable plot with several raised beds, shed and a polytunnel. The drive continues past the annexe and studio to reach the two substantial agricultural buildings below.
The gardens surround the main house on three sides, and there is an orchard beyond. The orchard features two ancient cider apple trees, a selection of specialist shrubs and other trees. A spring-fed wildlife pond sits below the house while a further purpose-built duck pond, also spring fed, can be found in the orchard.
