An impressive late 18th-century Grade II listed Georgian manor set within about 16 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and woodland at the foot of the Quantock Hills. The house extends to approximately 6,471 sq ft with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and generous reception rooms that retain high ceilings, tall sash windows and classical proportions. Recent renovation work has refreshed the interiors while retaining period character.
The estate includes a detached studio/annexe (plumbed for bathroom), outbuildings, a garage, stable yard with three loose boxes, greenhouse, tarmacadam tennis court and a swimming pool — features that suit large-family living, entertaining and equestrian use. The south-facing aspect delivers far-reaching views across the grounds to the Quantocks and excellent natural light throughout principal rooms.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will require listed-building consent and can cause delays and added costs. The EPC is rated E and council tax is very expensive. The annexe and some outbuildings may need formal consents for separate residential use. Services include airband ultrafast broadband and a ground-source heat pump with underfloor heating, reducing running costs compared with older systems.
Fitzroy House will appeal to families seeking space, equestrian buyers and purchasers wanting a substantial character home within easy reach of Taunton’s schools and transport links. The property’s scale, grounds and range of buildings give scope for multiple uses, but buyers should factor in listed-status constraints and running/maintenance commitments for a large historic estate.
