A Late Georgian Country House Near Bath

This property is on the market for  £4,500,000, listed with Knight Frank. 

This elegant late Georgian country house is located in Somerset, England, 9 miles south of the city of Bath. 

The Grade II* listed Merfield House was built in 1810 for a local family of successful woolen millers, the Node family. 

The main house features lovely period detail throughout, with original decorative plasterwork, working fireplaces, large sash windows and a beautiful staircase. The main house offers 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and several reception rooms. 

With a handsome Georgian facade built of mellow ashlar stone, the house makes a grand first impression when approached from the gated drive, which winds through the property’s garden and woodlands to the gravelled turning circle. 

The property has a lovely walled garden with orchards, pathways, and a working garden. Its elevated position offers spectacular views over the valleys and of the river Frome, on which the property has fishing rights.

The entire estate spans over 30 acres, and includes 4 additional cottages which can provide additional accommodation (a total of 15 bedrooms on the property) and enterprise: the letting of these cottages currently generates enough income to cover the running costs of Merfield House.

An indoor swimming pool is located in the wellness pavilion, with a hot tub and space for a gym. Want to see more? Knight Frank offers video walkthroughs and 360-degree VR tours of this property.
