A late Georgian Somerset country house set in 70 acres of parkland with outbuildings and extensive gardens. At front of the house is a circular drive and the main entrance has a stone portico and balcony supported by four fluted columns. The spacious arched entrance hall has an open fireplace and further fluted columns supporting a decorative ceiling. The house has several large light reception rooms including an oak panelled ball room, all of which retain period features such as Adam fireplaces, panelled doors, architraves and sash windows. The house has a fine stone cantilevered staircase with iron balustrade and moulded handrail.

The house can be approached from two separate drives. One passes a small lake, a waterfall and leads over a Georgian bridge offering fantastic views of the house. The other passes a paved garden, a lily pond and an avenue of trees. There are lawns to the front and the back of the house and a haha separates the north lawn from the park with it's secluded treehouse and yurt. A ribbon of woodland runs to the bottom pond which contains a clapper bridge, a subterranean passage, a mini grotto and an ice house.

The two acre walled Victorian kitchen garden grows vegetables and flowers for the house and contains several old greenhouses. Outbuildings include a row of 19th century stables which stand adjacent to various Victorian farm buildings.

Distance from central London: Approx. 128 miles
