A rare opportunity to buy a Somerset smallholding with paddocks, barns, stables and self-contained accommodation has just come to the market. Willow Farm in Lympsham is listed with Brightestmove for offers over £725,000.

The property sits on a main plot of around half an acre and comes with an adjoining paddock of approximately 1.3 acres. A further half-acre parcel of land is also available by separate negotiation.

The four-bedroom farmhouse offers versatile family living alongside a fully self-contained annexe – ideal for multi-generational living, independent space for older children, or guest accommodation. A three-bedroom static caravan with its own services also sits within the grounds, offering further flexibility.

Equestrian buyers are particularly well catered for, with multiple stables, barns and a secure yard, as well as grazing paddocks.

The bigger picture

The number of households in the UK with at least three generations living under one roof has risen by more than 40% in the past decade, according to ONS data. Properties with purpose-built annexes or separate accommodation are in high demand but remain in short supply.

National equestrian property searches have increased since the pandemic, yet only around 2% of homes in Somerset marketed in the past year included both equestrian facilities and self-contained secondary accommodation.

Adam Penwell from Brightestmove said: “Properties that combine equestrian facilities, flexible outbuildings and genuine multi-generational living are exceptionally rare. Willow Farm has the versatility to adapt to changing family needs while offering space for horses, hobbies and a rural lifestyle – all within easy reach of Bristol, Exeter and the M5.”

The location offers a balance of rural seclusion and connectivity, with Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea nearby, and good transport links via rail and motorway.
