Somerleaze House is a distinguished and substantial country residence, with Georgian and Victorian origins, set in a delightful private parkland setting with far-reaching views across its grounds and towards the rolling hills of the Mendips.

Approached along a tree-lined driveway, the house enjoys a peaceful position, surrounded by mature trees, gardens and open paddock land. Located just a mile or so from the historic Cathedral city of Wells.

Constructed with rendered elevations and stone-dressed windows beneath a slate tiled roof, the house presents an elegant and timeless appearance. Internally, it retains a wealth of architectural character and period detail including decorative cornicing, dado rails, wood panelling and fine joinery throughout. Of particular note is the impressive staircase, with beautifully carved wooden balustrades and handrail rising through the heart of the house.

The principal reception rooms are exceptionally well proportioned, with 14ft high ceilings and large stone mullioned windows that allow natural light to pour in while framing the views across the gardens, parkland and surrounding countryside.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is both generous and versatile, equally suited to formal entertaining or relaxed family life. Extensive cellars provide additional space including a gymnasium, sauna and games room.
