Plush Manor is a substantial Georgian country house set in just under seven acres of mature, landscaped grounds. The main house offers 7–9 bedrooms, six reception rooms, five bathrooms and a central reception hall opened for large-scale entertaining. Principal and guest suites have extensive views; a self-contained flat provides independent accommodation with separate access. The property includes an indoor pool complex, formal gardens, a stone summerhouse and a courtyard dining area.
Equestrian and leisure facilities are strong: a contemporary timber-clad stable block with two loose boxes, an all-weather manège and a hard tennis court (currently requiring resurfacing). There is also a two-storey cottage above a double garage, a bank of photovoltaic panels, and a range of outbuildings that support flexible use or further enhancement.
Practical considerations: the house occupies a remote hamlet setting accessed via a narrow, no-through lane and offers average mobile signal with slow broadband — not ideal for heavy home-working or digital businesses. Flooding risk is medium for the area. The property is freehold but carries very high council tax. Parts of the estate and leisure surfaces will need maintenance or updating, and the size and age of the house imply ongoing upkeep and running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking an impressive, private country estate with equestrian potential and room for modernisation rather than those wanting low-maintenance living or easy commuter links. Its scale, setting and period character make it rare in the West Country market.
