Grade II listed country house with character and flexible layout
Pepperhill Lodge is an imposing Grade II listed country house set in about 12.8 acres within the Quantock Hills. The house offers grand, flexible living: a 56 ft panelled living room, a vaulted 32 ft kitchen/dining/sitting room, five double bedrooms and a primary suite with private study and a hidden snug. The layout already allows part of the home to function as an annexe with minimal alteration.
The equestrian and practical assets are strong: extensive barns, stables, a modern 117 ft barn suitable for conversion to internal stables, paddocks with gated access and direct bridleways onto the Quantocks. Gardens include a southwest lawn, courtyard with water feature, orchard and a summerhouse/studio — attractive for country living, small-scale commercial uses or a wellness retreat (subject to planning).
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: Grade II listed status will complicate alterations and may limit development; some conversions or commercial uses will require consents. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is offered chain free and additional adjoining land (11.3 acres) is available separately.
This home suits buyers seeking an established equestrian or lifestyle estate, families wanting generous adaptable accommodation, or purchasers planning an income stream from holiday or lodging use (consents required). Its setting, riding access and flexible buildings make it a rare rural opportunity, but practical and regulatory considerations should be budgeted for.
