Somerleaze House

A home designed to be lived in fully

Built in 1882 by ecclesiastical architect C.E. Giles, Somerleaze House is a Victorian estate sitting on twelve acres of Somerset countryside. Designed by Jo Berryman, the house has been stripped back to reveal its raffish, timeworn beauty. Gothic portals meet mid-century silhouettes, history converses with modernity.

Guest Reviews

“Everything was flawless. The home itself is so inspiring — we all left wanting to bring Jo home with us for redesigns. The kids were thrilled with the trampoline, pool, and football pitch. Don't hesitate, book immediately.”
