Set within 32.77 private acres, Coneygore is a striking modernised country estate that pairs architectural character with exceptional privacy. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and generous sash windows create light-filled living spaces across an exceptionally large 11,430 sq ft footprint. The principal suite and three further bedrooms sit above versatile reception rooms ideal for family life and entertaining.
The property’s facilities are a major draw: a timber‑framed indoor swimming pool complex with an adjoining double‑height artist’s studio, a one‑bedroom self‑contained cottage for guests or staff, and extensive outbuildings including a double garage, workshop, barn and stable block offering genuine equestrian potential. Underfloor heating and air conditioning are installed in key areas, reflecting recent comprehensive renovation work.
This is a rural, secluded hamlet setting close to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with direct access to woodland walks, ponds and a secluded lake. Local cultural centres such as Bruton and attractions like The Newt are within convenient driving distance, while the A303 and nearby rail links provide reasonable access to larger centres.
Practical considerations are important: the estate’s scale brings significant ongoing maintenance and running costs, council tax is very expensive and broadband speeds are very slow — factors that affect modern working-from-home arrangements. The house’s remoteness offers peace but means services and conveniences are some distance away.
