Pomeroy Farm

Dating from the 1500s, Pomeroy Farm is a magnificent family home discreetly situated just a stone’s throw from Bruton in the heart of the Somerset countryside. Over recent years, the house has been tastefully embellished and extended to afford luxurious accommodation of just under 6000 sq. ft over three floors. It’s eco credentials are also excellent with power provided by solar panels and an air source heat pump. Built of traditional Ham stone and featuring an array of original features, this charming house is unusually beautiful and offers a wonderful opportunity to savour Somerset life at its best.



A gravel driveway is accessed via electronic gates and offers ample parking for several cars. An impressive double height entrance hall with an attractive limestone floor leads to a sumptuous kitchen / dining space at the heart of the house. Exposed ‘A’ frame oak beams adorn the ceiling whilst attractive polished blue lias stone lies underfoot, warmed via an air source heat pump - this is the perfect entertaining space as well as a cosy family room with room for a wood burner beneath an elegant stone fireplace. The kitchen itself is bathed in natural light and features hand crafted units, granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and integrated appliances that include a Miele dishwasher and a Falcon range cooker. Double doors lead directly to a snug (with a fabulous Doulting stone fireplace) on one side and to a fabulous terrace overlooking the garden on the other. Also off the hall and adjacent to the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room/pantry and a good sized boot room.



Three further reception rooms, a study, a dining room and a sitting room, offer extremely comfortable and elegant living spaces, all well-proportioned and with wonderful views of the gardens and the surrounding countryside. Mullion windows and stone sills complement heritage flagstones that sit alongside chic wooden floors and lend the rooms real character and a sense of understated luxury. The ground floor also features an office, a laundry and a cloakroom before accessing a delightful one bed annexe, ideal for a nanny, or as further, self-contained accommodation that could potentially provide an additional revenue stream. It also has access to a private walled courtyard with its own entrance.



Stairs from the hall climb to a landing and four, well-proportioned and spacious bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. Another staircase leads to two further bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room) on the second floor and a second family bathroom. These rooms have recently been comprehensively and imaginatively refurbished to a very high standard and the bathrooms now feature a luxuriously appointed shower and heated towel rails. All the bedrooms are charming; some come with wooden floors and fitted cupboards, others nestle amongst the eaves on the second floor. Oak beams grace the ceilings of some, others feature original fireplaces. Each bathroom is variously equipped with high end fixtures and fittings, walk in power showers, heated towel rails and stand-alone bathtubs.



Outside



This beautiful house is situated entirely within its own land and gardens that extends to 9 acres. A delightful West facing terrace adjacent to the house gives way to well-manicured lawns that sweep away to the near boundary. The landscape is framed by clipped beech hedging and enriched by a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Sheltered raised beds offer the opportunity for home grown vegetables. An open air swimming pool is heated via an air source heat pump and comes with its own pool house. Further afield is a tennis court, a cricket net, and an impressive wooden pavilion ideal as an outdoor games room, office or studio. Comprehensive equestrian facilities include a paddock enclosed with post and rail fencing, extensive stabling and a menage.

Further outbuildings and barns allow excellent storage facilities for all outdoor equipment necessary for maintaining the land and gardens. The boundary is made up of a canopy of mature trees that lend privacy and shelter to the property.
