Why buy a smallholding in Somerset
Somerset is grass and livestock country. 71% of its farmed land is grass, across 5,043 commercial holdings running about 312,000 cattle and 471,000 sheep. For a smallholding that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
Exmoor National Park and 5 National Landscapes including Blackdown Hills and Cotswolds protect a large part of Somerset, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 3 councils in Somerset (Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, and Somerset), so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
