Lower Rockes is a substantial Grade II-listed 17th-century farmhouse with a handsome Georgian extension, set in the heart of Butleigh. The house combines extensive period character — flagstone floors, exposed beams, original fireplaces and a dramatic inglenook — with generously proportioned reception rooms and a large, well-equipped farmhouse kitchen that sits at the heart of the home.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and includes three reception rooms, five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, useful studio/office space and ample storage. The master suite is particularly notable for its vaulted ceiling, walk-in wardrobe and a generous master bathroom; an additional two large bedrooms occupy the original farmhouse wing, accessed by the original stone staircase.
Outside, double electric gates open to a private driveway and generous parking. A rear terrace with covered dining and a mature, private lawned garden provide sheltered outdoor living and entertaining space. A separate store houses the gas boiler and garden equipment; an adjacent studio offers flexible use as an office, music room or hobby space.
Practical considerations are clear: the property’s Grade II listing will limit alterations and add consenting requirements; broadband speeds are slow in the area; and council tax is Band G. For buyers seeking a character-filled family home in an affluent Somerset village, this property offers scope to personalise while living comfortably from day one.
