Description

BRATTON HILL COTTAGE, 
BRATTON SEYMOUR, SOMERSET, BA9 8BY

An elegant Georgian-style home with contemporary additions, set within a tranquil village location and enjoying far-reaching views over open countryside.

Bratton Hill Cottage has exquisite accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, a fully glazed garden room, utility, cloakroom, and three large bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. 

The property sits centrally within its 0.51-acre grounds, featuring landscaped cottage gardens, a productive orchard, and a generous driveway. The house blends period charm with modern convenience, including underfloor heating and high-specification finishes throughout.

Accommodation
Bratton Hill Cottage is an elegant and thoughtfully designed home, marrying traditional materials and craftsmanship with a sensitive modern approach. It was built in 2016, and as a result, it benefits from excellent insulation, underfloor heating, as well as lower maintenance and running costs compared with a period property of this standard. Despite the recent construction, the use of local materials and high-quality craftsmanship gives the property immense charm and character - a true representation of 'the best of both worlds'. The setting is peaceful and rural, yet well-connected, and the house is positioned to enjoy panoramic vistas of the surrounding Somerset landscape. The property was built in the style of a Georgian cottage with a slate tiled roof, sash windows, and beautifully constructed local stone elevations complemented by a fully glazed garden room which capitalises on the idyllic views. 

Internally, the property opens into a ground floor of blue lias flagstones and includes a bespoke, solid wood shaker-style kitchen with adjoining utility room. The central open-plan family room provides an ideal space for entertaining, with French doors opening onto the garden terrace. A separate sitting room with an open fireplace offers a cosy retreat, while the dramatic glazed garden room creates a bright and expansive living area with a retractable glass wall opening directly onto the garden.

The bespoke staircase with the estate railing style balustrades leads up to a galleried landing, drenched in natural light. There are three double bedrooms, each benefitting from vaulted ceilings, oak flooring, traditional shutters, and individual ensuite bathrooms finished with marble, painted timber panelling and premium brushed nickel fittings.

Outside
The house is approached via a Hadspen stone gravelled driveway offering ample parking. The grounds, extending to approximately 0.51 acres, include a lawned garden to the north, an orchard to the south, and a large open terrace perfect for al fresco dining. 

Detached from the main house, there is a studio which has barn-style wooden doors and a store room internally. This would make an ideal work-from-home space, or indeed a useful storage space.

About the area
Bratton Hill Cottage enjoys an enviable position in the peaceful hamlet of Bratton Seymour, nestled in the rolling countryside at the edge of Shepton Montague—one of Somerset’s most picturesque villages. Tucked away from a quiet country road, the cottage boasts breathtaking views over the unspoiled Somerset landscape.

This sought-after pocket of the county places you within easy reach of some of Somerset’s most celebrated attractions. Chief among them is The Newt in Somerset—just minutes away and widely regarded as one of Britain’s most exceptional country estates. More than just a luxury hotel, The Newt features world-class gardens, orchards, woodland walks, a farm shop, bakery, and restaurants. Open to day visitors, it offers an unforgettable immersion into Somerset’s horticultural and culinary heritage.

Just 4 miles to the west lies Castle Cary, a charming and thriving market town known for its honey-coloured stone buildings and independent shops. It also offers excellent transport links, including a direct line to London Paddington, making it a perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban accessibility.

Nearby Bruton, only 3 miles away, is a vibrant hub of art, food, and culture, home to the renowned Hauser & Wirth gallery and Roth Bar, Michelin-starred Osip, The Old Pharmacy, and the iconic At the Chapel. The surrounding area is also rich in celebrated pubs, including The Montague Inn and The Stag’s Head in Yarlington.

Other nearby attractions include Stourhead’s world-famous landscape gardens, Babington House (Soho House’s country retreat), and Longleat Safari Park. The historic cities of Bath and Wells are both easily reached within 45 minutes.

This area of Somerset is highly regarded for its educational opportunities. Prestigious prep schools include All Hallows and Hazlegrove, while senior options include Millfield, Downside, the Sherborne schools, and the Bruton schools. For state education, options include Ansford Academy, Sexey’s School in Bruton, and The Blue School in Wells.
Castle Cary station provides fast and regular trains to London Paddington, while nearby Templecombe connects to London Waterloo. The A303 offers excellent road access to London and the Southwest, with the M4, M5, and A36 all within reach.
