6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Fairfield House, Long Street, Williton, Somerset TA4

Reference Number: RS0802

Fairfield House is a handsome and substantial former farmhouse, believed to date back over 300 years and thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners. Offering more than 3,500 sq ft of flexible, well-presented accommodation, it’s a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home that can comfortably accommodate a large or multi-generational family – with scope for working from home or exploring lifestyle ventures such as catering or guest accommodation.

Behind its traditional frontage, the house opens into a series of welcoming and versatile spaces that combine modern comfort with period charm. Original features sit alongside quality finishes, and the layout lends itself perfectly to family life, visiting guests or even creative business opportunities. In the past, Fairfield House has hosted holistic retreats and offered vegetarian meals to guests – something future owners might consider reviving, especially as there are few good local dining options.

There are six individual bedrooms in total – four with ensuite bathrooms – including two tucked away via a private staircase at the rear, ideal for extended family, older children, or live-in help. On the ground floor, generous living spaces include a cosy lounge with wood-burning stove, a formal dining room that’s made for entertaining, and a bright, sociable kitchen/breakfast room with modern appliances and a walk-in larder. There’s also a utility room, a study or treatment space, and even an infrared sauna with its own shower room.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the front and rear of the property, with a gravelled courtyard, raised lawn, decked seating around the hot tub, and a drying area. To the rear, a private parking area offers space for up to six vehicles, accessed via Dovetons Close.

While the property has recently been used for some short-term holiday letting – helping cover running costs during the sale period – it is offered with full residential consent and is best suited to private residential use, perhaps with scope for supplementary income or creative projects.

The location is another huge asset. Fairfield House sits just outside the centre of Williton, a thriving West Somerset village with a good selection of shops, cafés, pub, a library, doctor’s surgery, and a Co-op. Danesfield School (rated Good by Ofsted) is just half a mile away, with other well-regarded primary and secondary schools also within walking distance.

Williton is also well connected: Taunton is around 15 miles away, offering mainline trains to London and M5 motorway access, while the coast at Watchet is within easy reach. Regular bus services make getting around easy, and for those who enjoy the outdoors, the Quantock Hills, Exmoor National Park and Brendon Hills are all nearby.

Whether you're dreaming of a spacious family home, planning a multigenerational move, or considering a lifestyle venture with food, hospitality or wellness in mind, Fairfield House offers a truly flexible canvas in a lovely Somerset setting.

Agents note

Fairfield House lends itself beautifully to a ‘restaurant with rooms’ concept. With spacious dining and kitchen facilities already in place, it’s a dream opportunity for a chef or keen cook looking to build a catering-based business with accommodation alongside. The current owner previously offered vegetarian meals to B&B guests, which became a popular draw thanks to the variety and quality on offer – often exceeding what’s available locally. With little in the way of standout dining in the area, there is clear potential to fill a gap in the market.
