Description

Upper Vobster Farm is a meticulously renovated 36-acre country estate in Somerset, featuring a main farmhouse with an annexe, a period stone cottage, a converted barn, and three additional self-catering dwellings maintained to a 5* Gold standard. The property operates as both a private residence and an established luxury accommodation business, set within a valley and stream with ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, and paddocks. Beyond the diverse residential offerings, the estate includes professional conference facilities, a luxury pool house with a heated outdoor pool, a steam room, and high-end finishes such as bespoke hand-built kitchens and traditional Aga stoves. Characterised by its serene natural environment, the grounds support abundant wildlife and offer a versatile sanctuary suitable for family life or further business expansion.

Upper Vobster Farm is a timeless country estate in superb condition, having been extensively renovated throughout the last 30 years to the highest standards of workmanship and design. This 36-acre* multi-dwelling property in beautiful Somerset is privately nestled along a valley and stream, the perfect spot for enjoying all the magnificent beauty this rare estate offers. Along with the generous main farmhouse complete with its own annexe, there is a classic period stone cottage, converted stone barn and a further three fully equipped self-catering dwellings. All are consistently maintained to Visit England 5* Gold standard. Situated around the lower courtyard and triangular fish-filled pond, there is an impressive conference room, the Long Room kitchen, extra bathrooms, office and meeting spaces, laundry and gym, beauty, painting and maintenance rooms. Set supreme in the old apple orchard is the stunning outdoor heated pool, with automatic safety cover, and a spa and steam room set in a spacious luxury pool house. The lounge is an ideal area for a gym or simply as a relaxation space. Upper Vobster Farm is a home as well as a fully functioning self-catering accommodation business with the scope to have the land and space to enjoy as a family or to continue to grow the business, which has been the private sanctuary and getaway for a number of high-profile guests over the years. The love and care that has been invested is very evident, and quality finishings don?t go unnoticed, with the blue Lias flagstone floors, bespoke hand-built kitchens, traditional Aga stoves and exquisite bathroom features. This care extends beyond the buildings in the abundant kitchen garden, beautiful grounds, well-maintained paddocks and over 6 acres of ancient protected and sacred woodland to complement such a serene living environment. Enjoy the walking tracks, wild flower meadows and gardens. Discover the blue bells and wild garlic in the spring, the autumn leaves falling later in the year and gather around one of the many open fireplaces for the winter. Buzzards, red kites, kingfishers, deer, squirrels, owls, badgers and even otters are all frequent visitors to Upper Vobster Farm. This property must be visited in person to fully experience the quality of the buildings and the magic of the grounds, and we welcome genuine enquiries.
