Homewood House

About this home

Pumped full of colour whilst still maintaining the sort of stately elegance you’d expect from a manor home, this Somerset house is swoon-worthy. The house itself already cuts an impressive figure, but combined with the sprawling garden, it starts to feel magical. Can you see yourself here, walking the grounds in a daydream of dukes, duchesses and romance? Spend early mornings on the private tennis court before gathering for an alfresco breakfast in the garden – make it even more special by enjoying meals picnic-style on the manicured lawn by the stream. When you’re not off exploring the beautiful surrounding area – travel to Wellington and Taunton in minutes, or hike the moorlands of the Exmoor National Park, a short drive away – you might find yourself reading next to the fireplace. Dine in the cosy warmth of the hearth in the farm-style kitchen and enjoy a movie in the TV room, or play games of charades as you sip whiskey in the drawing room. With striking bedrooms, whichever one you pick will be a beautiful and peaceful haven you’ll probably find yourself itching to escape to – retire early to give yourself time for a luxurious bath in the clawfoot tub before settling in for a peaceful sleep.
