Set within an enchanting 32-acre private estate, Coneygore is a distinctive country house defined by architectural character, exceptional privacy and a profound connection to its natural surroundings. The property sits quietly within its own secluded woodland valley, approached via a winding driveway and enveloped by mature trees, expansive gardens and tranquil water features, creating a rare sense of retreat within the Somerset countryside.
The house has been thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, blending traditional craftsmanship with a design philosophy centred on light, nature and comfort. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and gently curved internal walls are balanced by large sash windows and roof lights, ensuring the interiors are consistently bright and welcoming.
A welcoming reception hall leads to the principal living spaces. The drawing room enjoys peaceful views across the gardens, while the study offers a quiet workspace overlooking the surrounding landscape. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast area form the heart of the home and are well suited to everyday family living as well as entertaining. Underfloor heating provides year-round comfort.
Upstairs, the principal suite is a generous and light-filled retreat with views across the estate, a dressing area and private bathroom. Three further bedrooms are individually designed, two with en suite bathrooms.
The impressive indoor swimming pool complex forms a striking centrepiece, its dramatic timber-framed ceiling echoing the woodland beyond. Adjoining the pool is a double-height artist's studio, flooded with natural light and overlooking the gardens, offering a wonderful creative or recreational space.
Beyond the house lies a comprehensive collection of outbuildings including a double garage, workshop, storage barns and log cabin. Additional buildings to the south-east include a stable block and barn, offering potential for equestrian use or further ancillary accommodation.
The gardens and grounds are an integral part of the estate's appeal. Terraced lawns extend from the house to a series of ponds and seating areas, framed by mature planting and rare tree specimens including Davidia involucrata, Japanese maples, red and pin oaks, and scented rhododendrons. Ancient Ilex trees, believed to date from the 14th century, provide a remarkable historic backdrop to the woodland walks.
A secluded lake with jetty forms a tranquil focal point within the grounds, bordered by tall hemlocks and approached via winding paths through the woodland. Nearby, a timber-framed summer house provides a peaceful vantage point from which to enjoy the quiet beauty of the estate.
Cottage
A charming one-bedroom cottage provides excellent guest accommodation and offers flexibility for use as a gym, games room or studio. The cottage includes a sitting room with wood burner, kitchen area, utility/shower room, cloakroom and double bedroom.
Coneygore lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the borders of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, an area renowned for its unspoilt countryside, historic estates and excellent access to cultural and culinary destinations.
The nearby town of Bruton, just over seven miles away, has emerged as one of Somerset's most vibrant cultural centres. It is home to the internationally acclaimed Hauser & Wirth gallery, together with Da Costa restaurant, Roth Bar, and the popular Farm Shop at Durslade. The Michelin-starred Osip, At the Chapel restaurant and a range of independent boutiques further enhance the town's appeal.
Other notable destinations include The Newt in Somerset, approximately 10 miles away, with its celebrated gardens and restaurants, and Babington House, part of the Soho House group, around 20 miles away.
