Oak House Bruton

Oak house is a detached property situated in the heart of Bruton, one of Somerset’s most fashionable towns. It is currently operated as a boutique hotel and comes with a commercial kitchen and off-street parking for several cars. There is significant potential to convert the property into a residential dwelling subject to the relevant planning permission.

The front door opens to a spacious open plan reception / dining area that caters for the hotel’s guests. Also on the ground floor is a lounge area and office. The commercial kitchen that extends to the rear of the property is truly impressive and comes with additional storage rooms. There is also a secondary smaller kitchen and two cloakrooms.

Stairs rise to the first floor and to four beautifully furnished bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom. The bathrooms are contemporary in style and equipped with high end fixtures and fittings. On the second floor is an equally impressive two-bedroom suite that features an open plan kitchen living and dining space. This space is defined by exposed beams that lend real character to the rooms. The bedrooms enjoy romantic views of the Bruton rooftops and the countryside beyond.
