Abbey Farm House, Yeovil, Grade I listed farmhouse in Yeovil, England
Abbey Farm House stands on Preston Road, constructed with traditional Ham stone featuring architectural elements characteristic of early 15th-century English agricultural buildings.
Built around 1420 under the commission of John Stourton, known as Jenkyn Stourton, the farmhouse was originally named Preston Great Farm within Preston Plucknett manor.
The property represents a fine example of medieval farming architecture in Somerset, reflecting the agricultural traditions and building methods of the period.
Following its Grade I listing designation in 1951, any modifications to the structure require special permission to maintain its historical authenticity.
The building's name changed from Preston Great Farm to Abbey Farm House during the 19th century, though the reasons for this transformation remain unclear.
