Overview
Barn in Muchelney Ham, Nr. Langport, Somerset, England - Rural Location near Medieval Village
South Ham Barn is a converted wagon house in a peaceful rural location. It is conveniently located for many attractions. The area is ideal for cycling, walking, canoeing and fishing. Footpaths to other villages lead directly from the property. A private heated indoor pool was completed in December 2009. The property is situated near the owners old thatched farmhouse and parking is well off the road. Home-reared lamb and pork, home-made bread and eggs are usually available. No smoking.
About P& E Nightingale
We moved to South Ham Farm from another house in Muchelney in 1997 because of its peaceful location and surrounding land.
South Ham Barn was converted into a single dwelling from a wagon-house. We have a flock of sheep, 2 horses,a few hens and sometimes pigs. Our 3 children have left home and we retired from medical practice in 2008.
In December 2009, a heated indoor swimming pool was completed. It is available for the exclusive use of guests for at least 10 hours per day, and at other times by agreement.
Muchelney Ham is a very beautiful place and we feel privileged to live here.
P& E Nightingale purchased this barn in 1997
Why P& E Nightingale chose South Somerset
South Ham Farm is located at the edge of Muchelney Ham near the ancient village of Muchelney on the Somerset Levels an area of outstanding beauty and character. Having lived in the village for 20 years, we did not want to leave it so were very happy to move down the road when this property became available. The farm land attached has allowed us to pursue our interest in breeding sheep and keeping horses.
What makes this barn unique
Our peaceful location and heated indoor swimming pool make it an ideal holiday destination for everyone. We are ideally located for walking, cycling and canoeing from the garden. Golf and fishing are available in adjacent villages. Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and many excellent gardens are nearby.

Lovely home in charming English countryside
My family and I have just returned from a lovely 5 day break at the barn. The hosts Peter & Liz are lovely ...and so too are the dogs, especially Vas who is the friendliest dog ever! The barn is lovely and clean, bright yet cosy. We enjoyed sitting in the garden with our drinks having a good old chat around the picnic table in the sunshine. George & Harry loved the swimming pool and George even learned to float on his back! My parents enjoyed exploring the churches and country pubs! We wished we had booked longer than 5 days, the time went so fast. We have already made plans to return next year and I have been recommending the barn to family & friends.
Very well equiped property, perfect hosts, lovely holiday- could not fault it in any way!
Family of six (3 generations) loved the property and the location. Visited Longleat and the fleet air Museum and then spent the rest of the time in the pool, feeding lambs, collecting eggs meeting the dogs etc, etc.
Arthur(3) and Ellie(1) would like to say a special Thank-you to the lovely owners who made their holiday so enjoyable- will definately be back!
Perfect
The cottage is perfect and the pool was a great addition to making our stay so enjoyable.
Made to feel very welcome and even got to feed the lambs! Kind and caring hosts but not intrusive!
Another excellent week in Somerset
This was our third stay at the cottage and we enjoyed fine weather and lots of time in the pool. A week of frequent swimming and fresh air left our grandchildren tired at the end of the day but sleeping well at night! This is a good location for things to see and do and everyone is keen to return next year.
Friendly and welcoming
Really nice few days, made to feel very welcome. The kids loved the pool & feeding the lambs. Accommodation nice a clean with milk & lovely cake on arrival, just a little cold without the wood burner on!
Lovely relaxing break
Just arrived back from a weekend at the cottage, the cottage is lovely spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The pool is brilliant has a changing room and shower also. Beautiful area really good walks. Great for all ages
