The Grounds
Twelve acres · Pool · River · Sauna · Gym · BBQ
Outdoors in, indoors out
The jewel in the Somerleaze crown is its heated pool. Retro-chic, quietly luxurious, and suitable for all the family. A horse-box sauna and cold plunge for those who wish to keep up their wellness protocols, and for the brave, wild swimming in the River Mells, which conveniently runs along the edge of the property. An Argentinian grill, football pitch, lawn games, and twelve acres of Somerset countryside provide plenty of fun and folly for all ages. Jo and Philip have created outdoor zones with an abundance of seating, loungers, and tables to rest, recline, and feast on. When the sun shines, outdoors is as comfortable as indoors.
Heated. Walled. Yours.
The outdoor pool is comfortably heated and situated within the secure confines of a restored walled garden. Stone walls, espalier fruit trees, and a mature wisteria tunnel provide a fragrant and charmingly aesthetic backdrop. Peace is punctuated with your children's shrieks of glee and birdsong.
Wood. Fire. Plunge.
A converted horse-box sauna with a cold plunge pool, tucked into the garden. The kind of thing you use every morning and wish you had at home. Private, wood-fired, genuinely good.
Wild swimming in the Mells
The River Mells runs along the edge of the property. A stone bridge, a private stretch of water, and the kind of swimming that resets you. Cold, clear, and entirely yours for the stay.
Outdoors and in
An Argentinian BBQ and firepit on the outdoor terrace, and a bespoke kitchen inside by Jo Berryman: Macchia Vecchia marble, copper hood, Miele appliances. The dining room seats fourteen. Catering available on request.
Private gym. Football pitch. Croquet.
A private gym with Pilates reformer, free weights, and yoga space. A five-a-side football pitch on the lower lawn. Croquet. Trampoline. Lawn games. Children's playroom indoors.
