about

A beautiful example of a 16th century Manor House in Somerset. The property is Grade 11 listed and is set in 15 acres of stunning grounds. The house has an amazing front facade and beautiful brick work. The bricks includes spolia from the nearby Benedictine monastery, which had been built by the same stonemasons as Glastonbury Abbey. This would suggest a likely original dating of the 1600s. There is an incredible original oak front door. There are also some stunning grade 11 listed stables and 3 incredible barns, one or which includes an old cider press.

The stunning property is a stellar example of its kind, standing proud in its charming rural location which takes you completely back in time.  The Manor has a handsome, historical facade that’s beautifully preserved. 

The property has recently been completed restored by the owner who is also a talented interior designer.

‘English country-house style that embraces the authentic and imperfect’, the owner has totally reimagined the space, adding thoughtful design details, attention-grabbing bursts of colour and interesting, one-off pieces throughout, while simultaneously maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

The style is traditional and elegant with a twist, English country location house style with a Mediterranean influence.

There are 6 bedrooms in total; 6 are located on the first floor of the main house, 2 have en-suite facilities, and there is a separate shower room on the ground floor there is also another family  bathroom on the first floor. There are 4 amazing reception rooms including a kids playroom. There is an absolutely stunning Plain English kitchen and utility room, an editing suite and cinema room, a bar and a further study. The property has an absolutely magical feel both inside and out. It’s a lovely family home with lots of incredible twists and special nooks and crannies to be discovered.

Trains are 1.5 hours from Paddington, and the house is a 20 minute drive from Castle Cary Station. To drive, it will take 3 hours from central London. Parking is available for up to 20 cars in the private driveway and grounds.
