Casa DI Campagna Con 9 Camere Da Letto In Vendita A Wells

Behind private timber gates and approached by a magnificent tree-lined driveway, Rookery Farm unfolds as one of Somerset’s most compelling private country estates. Set within approximately 70 acres of beautiful Mendip countryside, this exceptional holding combines a substantial six-bedroom period farmhouse, a newly renovated three-bedroom annexe, extensive equestrian facilities, indoor leisure complex and over 11,000 square feet of agricultural warehousing, creating a rare opportunity to embrace an unrivalled rural lifestyle.

Dating back to the 17th century, the handsome stone farmhouse forms the centrepiece of the estate, surrounded by mature gardens, open pasture and far-reaching countryside. Extending to over 8,000 square feet, the main residence effortlessly balances period character with modern family living. A welcoming reception hall, complete with a traditional turning staircase and galleried landing, leads to an array of beautifully proportioned reception rooms where stone fireplaces, exposed timbers and mullioned windows provide warmth, charm and a tangible sense of history.

The kitchen and family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home; a space designed for modern country living where family breakfasts evolve into relaxed entertaining, and where the changing seasons are enjoyed through views across the gardens and estate beyond.

Complementing the principal residence is a beautifully renovated detached annexe extending to approximately 1,159 square feet. Recently transformed to an exceptional standard, the accommodation blends contemporary styling with character features and includes a stunning open-plan living space centred around a striking Crittall-style internal door. Finished to a high specification throughout, the annexe offers three bedrooms and versatile accommodation perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, staff quarters or potential income generation.

Leisure facilities are equally impressive. The indoor swimming pool complex and adjoining gym create a private wellness retreat, providing year-round enjoyment whilst opening onto the courtyard and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Outside, the estate has been thoughtfully curated to create a landscape of beauty and practicality. Formal lawns, specimen trees, established hedgerows, ornamental ponds, a picturesque lake and a charming summerhouse with central fire pit provide endless opportunities for entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings.

For equestrian enthusiasts, Rookery Farm offers an exceptional setup with traditional stabling extending to approximately 1,713 square feet, paddocks, field shelter and planning permission for a full-size arena. The surrounding acreage provides excellent grazing and riding opportunities, making the property ideally suited to both leisure and professional equestrian pursuits.

A particularly valuable feature of the estate is its extensive agricultural infrastructure. Modern warehouse and agricultural buildings extending to approximately 11,346 square feet provide outstanding storage and operational capacity for farming enterprises, machinery, livestock management, equestrian operations or wider rural business interests. Few residential estates offer such a substantial and versatile agricultural asset alongside luxury family accommodation.

The approximately 70 acres comprise a diverse mix of pasture, productive agricultural land and newly established woodland, creating both an attractive landscape and a practical landholding capable of supporting a variety of rural pursuits. Footpaths meander through the estate, inviting exploration and providing a deep connection to the surrounding Mendip landscape.

Offering over 23,000 square feet of combined accommodation and estate buildings, Rookery Farm represents far more than a home. It is a complete country estate where family life, equestrian ambitions, agricultural interests and countryside living come together in perfect harmony. Positioned within easy reach of Wells, Bath and Bristol, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Somerset’s most significant private rural residences.
