MAJESTIC MANOR
Somerset
-
This Grade II listed manor house stands at the foot of the Quantock Hills in Somerset, surrounded by parkland, woodland and organic farmland. The estate occupies a secluded rural position with far-reaching views across unspoilt countryside, providing a self-contained filming environment with complete privacy.
Taunton station is the nearest mainline rail link, offering connections to London Paddington. The surrounding landscape of rolling hills and ancient woodland creates a versatile exterior backdrop, whilst the estate's scale and seclusion ensure controlled sound recording and minimal visual interruption.
Extensive on-site parking accommodates up to ten vehicles on hardstanding, with additional capacity for larger productions on grass.

Extensively restored in 2023, this manor house combines distinguished period architecture with refined contemporary comfort. The interiors are defined by soothing earthy tones, natural textures and pared-back opulence, creating a warm yet sophisticated aesthetic suited to period drama, lifestyle shoots and aspirational content.
The dining hall forms the traditional heart of the property, featuring a double-height ceiling and grand staircase that set an impressive tone. A drawing room with open fire, a billiard room with bar, and a snug with large screen provide varied filming spaces with distinct character. The open-plan kitchen occupies a former scullery, retaining original flagstone floors and offering a clean, Scandinavian-influenced aesthetic centred on a seven-hob, three-oven range cooker.
Outside, the grounds extend across formal and informal settings. A walled garden encloses an outdoor dining area seating 18, barbecue facilities and a wood-fired hot tub. A second walled garden features a one-acre lawn with a 17th century gazebo overlooking the estate's historic church. Beyond, organic farmland and woodland provide a naturalistic backdrop home to native wildlife.
