Georgian manor house and family home for generations.
Nestled in the Mendip Hills.
Steeped in history and wonder, the two–acre site has evidence of prehistoric (Iron Age) residency but more recently, links to a nearby medieval church.

Its proximity to multiple nature trails and country walks, beaches, and the beautiful villages present serene and relaxed alternative to London life.
With ten bedrooms, an abundance of living space and a magnificent dining room (that used to be an 18th century ballroom), it is perfectly set up for shoots, gatherings, celebrations and events.
The tennis court, swimming pool, snooker room, tree–house, multi–layered gardens and croquet lawn enhance the attraction for all generations.

Lovingly redecorated and renovated, historical charm and architectural grandeur have been preserved but with an injection of fun, form and function to enhance guest experience.
An outdoor pool has been converted to a luxury indoor spa facility with 30 degree heated pool, hot–tub, sauna and changing facilities.
The owners have paid homage to the surrounding countryside by creating an expansive lawned roof terrace with putting green and the home interiors and furnishings, acquired from a wide range of sources from antiques fairs to contemporary interiors are carefully aligned to the house motto of ‘adventurously traditional.’
