Upcott Hall is a handsome Georgian manor house that sits on a plot of around 3.43 acres within the small hamlet of Upcott, close to Taunton.
The substantial Grade II Listed residence has great historic interest, and for the first time in 30 years, has become available for sale.
The property sits on a plot of around 3.43 acres
Over the years, the current owners have fittingly upgraded the property, retaining and enhancing its many period features whilst maintaining its homely feel. The accommodation is spread over three floors with large cellars below.
This grand manor makes quite the first impression, as there is an impressive entrance hall featuring an original solid oak, and an ornate staircase that leads to the first floor. Spacious reception rooms include an elegant drawing room with an ornate fireplace, splendid plaster mouldings and full-height sash windows that look out to the glorious gardens. Equally elegant is the fine dining room with a beautiful central fireplace and double aspect sash window. There is a further reception room, a morning room, kitchens and domestic offices, amounting to eight reception rooms in total.
There are eight reception rooms with period features
On the first floor, there are seven bedrooms, with additional bathrooms and dressing rooms. Extensive attic rooms offer the potential to create further independent accommodation.
Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds surround the manor house and offer superb views of the Quantock Hills and beyond.
There is a large ornamental pond in the gardens
Ornamental lawned areas are interspersed with a magnificent display of mature trees, attractive ponds and water features. A circular pathway with herbaceous borders filled with an array of interesting, colourful plants, provides interest throughout the year. There is also a small orchard area and a walled garden with rose borders and a feature pergola.
A main drive leads up to the front of the house, where there is ample parking for several vehicles.
