An elegant late-Georgian country house set in about 2.5 acres designed by Penelope Hobhouse, offering substantial family living alongside high-quality ancillary accommodation. The main house (circa 1830) provides generous reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with a 4-oven Aga, five principal bedrooms plus further attic space, and period features including Blue Lias flagstones, high ceilings and stone fireplaces.
A beautifully appointed 2-bedroom coach house with vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating and private courtyard provides excellent guest, staff or rental potential. The landscaped grounds include formal terraces, productive orchard and kitchen garden, a heated pool with decked entertaining area, a tennis court and a unique treehouse — rare leisure provision for a village setting.
Practical points to note: the main heating uses oil-fired boilers (coach house on LPG), the house has an EPC of 41 (Band E) and exposed stone walls with presumed lack of insulation. Council tax is in a high band. These are manageable but will influence running costs and any future improvement plans.
Located next to the village church in sought-after West Pennard, the house sits within easy reach of Glastonbury, Wells and schools such as Millfield and Wells Cathedral School, plus Castle Cary station for London connections. Its combination of historic character, leisure facilities and flexible accommodation will appeal primarily to families seeking long-term country living or buyers wanting a high-quality second home with income potential.
