Location
Upper Milton is a most attractive hamlet centred around the Manor itself, lying on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills amid rolling pastureland edged with dry stone walls and woodland of ancient native trees. It has an enduring, timeless quality that is increasingly rare.
Only a mile from Wells, and within easy reach of Bristol and Bath, this is a magical and romantic corner of Somerset. The Manor also enjoys far-reaching rural views that epitomise the beauty of the landscape.
Description
Dating back to the 17th century, with later Georgian and subsequent additions, Milton Manor is Grade II* listed. Built in stone under slated roofs with coped verges, it is a handsome house of great presence, with mullioned windows and side wings marked by front-facing gables.
The property retains an abundance of period features, including flagstone floors, chamfered beams, window shutters and seats, fireplaces, and early 18th-century panelling. These details are enhanced by thoughtful modern refinements, creating a home of immense style, character, and comfort.
