About this property

An exceptionally fine and elegant period home perched on a wooded hillside with wonderful views. This striking and impressive home is tucked away at the head of a long private driveway and occupies a fine hillside location on the edge of this delightful Somerset village. This former hunting lodge dates to 1870 (with the benefit of not being listed) and commands wonderful views across the beautiful grounds to the valley beyond. The house had originally been in the same family ownership for many years as part of the Wainwright Estate.
