This traditional estate farm has been enjoyed by the same family for 200
years. It was originally a tenanted dairy farm with a typical mixture of land
use to service the herd; in more recent years some of the land has been
cultivated for arable crops and grazed, and the extensive farm buildings used
to rear beef cattle. The farm sits in a secluded position surrounded by its
own land, offering far - reaching views of the surrounding landscape and Mendip
Hills. The farmhouse and buildings are approached down a long tree - lined
driveway from Rankers Lane, offering privacy and protection. Wick Farm is a
wonderful example of a residential mixed farm with considerable opportunities
to modernise, expand and further develop for agricultural or alternative uses,
subject to the necessary planning consents.
