The property is situated in a park - like setting adjoining farmland, well back
from the lane and sits proudly at the head of its large circular in and out
drive. The property looks over its front paddock, with an extensive view
across to the wooded hills of Wrington.
The property is an impressive house, believed to date from 1820 and added to
in 1900. The original house is a fine example of Regency architecture with
well proportioned rooms, tall French windows with shutters opening to the
terrace, panelled doors with brass furniture, ornate and simple ceiling
cornices and a marble fireplace in the drawing room. The entrance door under a
stone semi circular porch on Tuscan columns opens into the impressive central
reception hall, with log burning stove and has a sweeping cantilever stone
staircase with intricate cast iron balustrade leading to the gallery landing.
The drawing room and dining room open to the south facing terrace as does the
orangery, which is accessed from the study. The sitting room opens to the east
terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room with electric Aga and original dresser
have a lovely view over the front paddock to the wooded hills of Wrington
beyond.
The main cellars are extensive with good ceiling height and are divided into
five rooms including a vaulted wine cellar, workshop and a room housing a
15. 6' “endless” fitness pool.
The first floor has lovely views either across to the wooded slopes of
Wrington hill or over its grounds towards the Mendips Hills. The large
principal suite faces east and south. There are four further bedrooms, an en
suite shower room and family bathroom.
The Three Apartments
Access to the three apartments can easily be re - instated from the main house
on the ground floor and first floor, if desired.
At present, the adjoining apartments are accessed off the west side of the
drive to their own parking area and garden away from the main entrance to the
house.
There is a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor and two one bedroom
apartments on the first floor. The apartments are presently occupied as
assured shorthold tenancies.
The Grounds
The park - like setting of Milfort House is a delight and is accessed between
tall stone pillars. A central paddock lies immediately in front of the house
and the in and out drive circles around the paddock in an east west direction.
Around the grounds are a variety of well established trees including Chestnut,
Wellingtonia, Sycamore, Indian Bean, Tulip, Beech, and a Persion Silk tree.
Ornamental trees include Magnolia, Camellia and Fig. There is a copse along
the north and east boundaries.
The drive continues to a detached triple garage block with outside w. c. And to
the front of the house. The drive branches off at the garage block to the
stable yard.
To the south of the house is a large expanse of level lawn interspersed with
many established trees. A Wisteria clad veranda over a stone terrace spans the
width of the house and shaped central stone steps lead down to the lawn. The
terrace continues around to the east. The kitchen garden with raised vegetable
beds lies on the western boundary. There is a greenhouse and small mixed
productive orchard. An enclosed hard surface former tennis court to the north
would require restoration.
The Stable Yard and Paddocks
The self contained stable yard is approached from a branch off the main drive,
beside the garage block and through a copse well away from the house. The yard
is currently run as a diy livery with generous parking for horse boxes and is
in a lovely private and wooded setting. There is a timber stable block
comprising a variety of 15 stables and a hay store. A floodlit all weather
sand carpet fibre arena was resurfaced in 2018. The stable yard has direct
access to the divided paddocks.
