Historic Georgian Mansion Werescote House Hits Market for Over £3m
A historic Georgian home, Werescote House in Somerset, has hit the market with an asking price of 'offers over £3m'. Built in 1804, the house has stood the test of time, surviving the 19th century and undergoing extensive refurbishment in recent years. Originally constructed by the Were family, Werescote House was completed in 1805. It remained intact through the 19th century but was rented out by the start of the 20th century. After World War II, a local farmer bought the house and lived there until 1995. In 2011, the last owner before its recent sale, Ralph Stephenson, acquired the house as an unfinished shell. He completely refurbished it, transforming it into a swish, high-end residence. The interior now boasts polished floors, fine fabrics, and top-notch fittings, offering a hotel-like ambiance. Spanning over 12,200 sq ft, the house comprises six reception rooms, 12 bedrooms, and 10 bathrooms. Set within 21 acres of immaculate gardens and grounds, Werescote House offers stunning views and includes a separate annexe, games room/studio, and an indoor swimming pool suite on the lower ground floor. Additionally, the house features a biomass boiler that qualifies for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments scheme. With its rich history, luxurious interior, and expansive grounds, Werescote House presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a grand, well-appointed home in Somerset.
