Six years later the Taunton Courier and Western Advertiser advertised the farm again:

By 1840 John House was in possession of Bull Place Farm (indeed the House family then owned all the farms from Stathe to Stoke) but then the railway came and dug a trench through the farm when the Taunton to Yeovil branch line made its way through the village in the 1850s.
