Uniquely situated on the edge of the City of Wells (England's smallest City). Islington Farm was built more than 300 years ago.
It is adjacent to The Bishop's Palace and surrounded by fields and parkland.
Just a few minutes walk away passing the moated Bishop's Palace is the ancient Market Place where markets are still held every Wednesday and Saturday. There are a varied selection of shops, restaurants and eating places in the town.
Covered with a beautiful Virginia creeper The Farmhouse still retains its character throughout with beamed ceilings and Inglenook fireplace in the 2 rooms.
The property is privately owned – previously owned by the church commissioners who were given it in Queen Anne’s bounty. Once a working farm it is now a smallholding of 2.5 acres. Before the size was reduced it was used to breed Arab horses and now maintains a few sheep and chickens, the stables having been converted to a self-catering holiday let (4-stars).
