Historic Georgian Mansion Werescote Hits Market in Somerset for Over £3m
A historic Georgian home, Werescote, built in 1804, is on the market in Somerset. This 220-year-old property, nestled on over 21 acres, boasts stunning views and offers a luxurious lifestyle with its 12 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and six reception rooms. The asking price? 'Offers over £3m'.
Originally constructed by London banker Ellis Were and completed by his son, Werescote has been meticulously refurbished to provide over 12,200 sq ft of accommodation. The interior exudes elegance with polished floors, fine fabrics, and high-end fittings, reminiscent of a swish hotel.
The lower ground floor houses a separate self-contained annexe, perfect for guests or staff, along with a games room/studio and an indoor swimming pool suite. The house also benefits from a modern biomass boiler, qualifying for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments scheme.
Surrounding the house are beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, featuring large lawns, terraces, borders, a kitchen garden, orchard, paddocks, and woodland. The views from Werescote are nothing short of spectacular, taking in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, Wellington Monument, Taunton Vale, Polden Hills, and Glastonbury Tor.
Werescote, a piece of Georgian history, is available for purchase via Savills. With its luxurious accommodation, stunning views, and extensive grounds, this property offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a grand country residence. Despite no specific buyers being identified, the market is abuzz with interest in this unlisted Georgian villa.
