House, Pen Selwood, Nr Bruton, Somerset

Set within an enchanting 25 acre private estate, Coneygore is a distinctive country house defined by architectural character, exceptional privacy and a profound connection to its natural surroundings. The property sits quietly within its own secluded woodland valley, approached via a winding driveway and enveloped by mature trees, expansive gardens and tranquil water features, creating a rare sense of retreat within the Somerset countryside.

The house has been thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, blending traditional craftsmanship with a design philosophy centred on light, nature and comfort. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and gently curved internal walls are balanced by large sash windows and roof lights, ensuring the interiors are consistently bright and welcoming.

A welcoming reception hall leads to the principal living spaces. The drawing room enjoys peaceful views across the gardens, while the study offers a quiet workspace overlooking the surrounding landscape. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast area form the heart of the home and are well suited to everyday family living as well as entertaining. Underfloor heating provides year-round comfort.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a generous and light-filled retreat with views across the estate, a dressing area and private bathroom. Three further bedrooms are individually designed, two with en suite bathrooms.

The impressive indoor swimming pool complex forms a striking centrepiece, its dramatic timber-framed ceiling echoing the woodland beyond. Adjoining the pool is a double-height artist’s studio, flooded with natural light and overlooking the gardens, offering a wonderful creative or recreational space.
