Harptree Court presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment, set amidst expansive grounds that boast a blend of historical charm and modern potential. The property is thoughtfully oriented to maximize natural light, with principal rooms offering splendid views over the landscaped gardens. The entrance hall, featuring a prominent fireplace, leads to a dual-aspect drawing room that seamlessly connects to a spacious dining area with impressive ceiling heights and a bay window overlooking the estate.
The ground floor includes a versatile panelled reception room with doors opening onto a south-facing terrace, ideal for social gatherings. A crescent-shaped morning room can serve as a tranquil study or reading nook. The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room features an AGA, alongside an adjoining prep kitchen and pantry—these areas could benefit from modernization.
On the upper floors, the principal bedroom suite boasts an en suite bathroom and dressing room with scenic views, while several additional bedrooms come with en suite facilities. The west wing offers guest accommodation that's perfect for family stays or rental opportunities.
The property's outbuildings—including Laundry Cottage with independent access, traditional stables, and extensive storage facilities—provide significant potential for redevelopment or enhancement. Notably, there are former farm buildings suitable for residential development (pending planning permissions), making it an even more attractive investment.
A unique feature is the self-contained treehouse, currently utilized for holiday lets, showcasing additional revenue potential in its charming woodland setting. Surrounding the estate are mature gardens and exciting outdoor amenities including tennis courts and walled gardens ripe for restoration.
East Harptree is a desirable village located in the scenic Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Local amenities include schools and community facilities while excellent transport links connect to Bristol and Bath. This property not only offers substantial living space but also various avenues for refurbishment that can significantly enhance its value.
