Detached house for sale in Owl Street, East Lambrook TA13

Overview

Four Winds Cider Farm occupies just over 15 acres of beautiful countryside on the edge of East Lambrook, 2 miles from South Petherton. The owners converted an agricultural building into the house they have today (under Class Q) and the farm now offers a tranquil way of life in your own slice of English countryside. The current owners produce their own cider (Flying Pig) and have an arrangement with a larger known cider producer to supply them with excess apples. Pigs, Sheep, Chickens, Geese, and Guineafowl call Four Winds home.

The House

The house was converted, using the original steel frame, from an existing agricultural building, and now provides a modern living space overlooking the orchards and the countryside beyond.
There is scope to extend the house further subject to planning.
The Siberian Larch cladding used has now weathered to a silver colour and is a nod to the trees surrounding.
