Summary - MILLFIELD SCHOOL, BUTLEIGH ROAD BA16 0YD
8 bed 4 bath Detached
Grand village estate with annexe, coach house and almost three acres of private gardens.
Grade II listed — alterations and repairs subject to restrictions and extra cost
A substantial Tudor‑style Victorian mansion set within almost three acres of mainly walled, mature and private gardens. The property comprises a grand main house with considerable period detail, a self‑contained north wing useful as an annexe, and a substantial coach house/carriage yard with stables and stores. Located a few miles from Glastonbury, Street and Wells, it sits close to Millfield schools and a range of local amenities.
The accommodation totals around 11,500 sq ft (combined main house and coach house) with eight bedrooms and multiple reception rooms across two main living units. The coach house offers scope for alternative residential or commercial use but any change would need the necessary planning and listed‑building consents. The setting and scale make the estate suitable for a large family household, multi‑generational living, or a conversion/development project for an investor prepared to work within listed‑building constraints.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed; this will add complexity and cost to alterations, repairs or adaptation. The house is EPC exempt and falls in Council Tax Band G (quite expensive). Broadband is reported slow and mobile signal average — practical considerations if running a home business. While the gardens and outbuildings are a major asset, their size and age will require ongoing maintenance.
In short: a rare, characterful estate with versatile accommodation and conversion potential for the right purchaser, but one where listed‑status constraints, upkeep and utility limitations should factor into any offer.
