This “elegant” classical home for sale is a Georgian manor at the foot of the Quantock Hills.

Fitzroy House, in Norton Fitzwarren, is a Grade II listed manor from the late 18th century.

The home is described as being a classical example of its period, with tall ceilings and sash windows throughout.

On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises a reception hall with an elegant staircase, a drawing room, sitting room and a dining room, all of which benefit from views to the south and west.

There is a large kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga cooker, and a selection of domestic offices at the back of the building, including a pantry, boot room, laundry and office, plus a cellar.

The first floor landing leads to a principal bedroom suite, with a dressing room that links to the second bedroom.

There are three further bedrooms on this floor, served by three further bathrooms, while the second floor provides two further bedrooms and attic storage space.

As well as the main house, there is a detached studio/annexe with a kitchenette, which could offer potential for separate accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

There is also a detached garage, storage shed and log store, plus a stable yard with three loose boxes, a feed store and a tack room, whilst in the walled garden to the north, there is a greenhouse with mature vine inside.

The grounds span more than 16 acres, and include a swimming pool, a tennis court, level lawns and fenced paddocks.

The property is on the market with Savills for a guide price in excess of £2,000,000.

Chris Clifford, a director for Savills, commented: “Occupying an impressive position at the foot of the Quantocks, and situated within 16 acres of wonderful gardens and grounds, Fitzroy House is a most elegant Georgian manor house, ideally set up for family life and entertaining.

“In the last few years we have seen Somerset become increasingly desirable as a place to live and, for me, Fitzroy House is the perfect West Somerset family home.”
