About this home

Discover this spacious and elegant country house that’s recently been renovated to a high standard.

It’s highly suited to families or friends looking to escape to a beautiful part of England’s West Country.

Located deep in the glorious South Somerset countryside, the house has panoramic views across the beautiful Vale of Camelot and towards Cadbury Castle, suggested as the possible location of King Arthur’s legendary castle.

You’ll find a heated outdoor pool (during the summer) and 7 acres incorporating landscaped gardens, a newly planted orchard, wildlife pond and fields.

There are 6 bedrooms – 3 Super king bedrooms all with en-suites and then 1 double, 1 twin and 1 single (which share a bathroom).

The well equipped large kitchen is a joy to cook in and the orangery dining room (sits 10) is perfectly suited to families. The orangery’s expansive doors open up to a terraced eating area outside complete with BBQ and stunning views of the garden and distant hills, and a double sun bed to lounge on.

The media room boasts a Sony HD TV with Sky Q, a cinema screen and state of the art surround sound system – ideal for relaxing at the end of the day. Additional seating areas include the more formal hall (which can be configured as an additional dining area) and snug/playroom.

On the south side of the house, enjoy wandering through a series of landscaped gardens, and take in the magnificent views. There is a newly built play area with a ground level trampoline, a double swing and slide. We have a croquet set, up and ready to play throughout the summer. The pool area is wonderfully sheltered and is available on request.

There is parking for approximately 10 cars in the driveway.

We have no light pollution in North Barrow which means that the property is great for stargazers!

Located between the two towns, The Newt in Somerset is an extensive country estate, complete with fascinating cider-making and gardening exhibits, a Roman villa museum and plenty of parkland to explore.
