A Peaceful Georgian House in the English Countryside

Set into a gentle hillside and surrounded by 28 acres of private parkland stand The Old Rectory. The country house was built in 1826 in a Regency style and is located in the English county Somerset.

The six bedroom, 5,500 sq ft country home has been carefully restored to its former glory. The historic home has beautiful light living spaces, original details, and comfortable rooms.

The spaces of the Georgian home have been reimagined though the original Georgian spirit remains. The new interiors feature beautiful finishes, including oak floorboards, marble chimneypieces and fine plasterwork and joinery.

The kitchen is located in the orangery. It’s a new addition to the historic house but the design indoors and outdoors blends perfectly with the Georgian architecture. The room has a wonderful large skywindow and French doors that lead to the stone terrace with views of the garden.
