POTENTIAL, POTENTIAL, POTENTIAL! This phrase is very often over stated but most definitely not here. David Plaister Ltd are delighted to offer Brean Down Farm House for Sale.

Uniqueness, outstanding beauty and tranquillity are but a few words that can be used to describe this location. A former farm house where an abundance of history and exclusiveness meets. Located at the foot of Brean Down with far reaching, coastal and countryside open views, an estuary sea breeze and a true wild life heaven. With panoramic sea views where the River Axe meets the Bristol Channel, at the far end of Brean Down (SSSI) and the Saltings which Natural England describes as one of the best in the Severn Estuary. These are Sites of Special Scientific Interest on which you can find rare flora and fauna. Brean Down is one of the great landmarks of the Somerset coastline standing over 300ft high, the Down is immersed in intriguing stories, from prehistoric worship to Second World War weapon testing. The surrounding steep slopes and sweeping pastures are renowned for its wildlife, so keep a look out for a great variety of rare birds, plants and butterflies right on the doorstep of Brean Down Farm House. Brean Down Farm was part of the manor of Brean which was presented to Walter de Douai (a Norman Knight) by William I. In 1663 Sir Wadham Wyndham bought part of these lands from the then owner Philip Jackson, and it remained in the possession of the Wyndham family into the 20th Century. Brean Down Farm is a truly unique piece of Somerset and a ‘once in a life time exquisite opportunity’. Formerly used as two dwellings, the extensive and most flexible accommodation may suit a variety of uses subject to planning permission and building regulations approval. In need of modernisation and renovation this property is a spectacular opportunity to create your own paradise. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the idyllic unbeatable glistening sea views that do not fail to impress along with everything else that Brean Down Farm House has to offer as the opportunities are endless. EPC rating G9, Council Tax Band E.
