Location
Tadhill House lies just south of the popular small village of Leigh Upon Mendip (see About the area – below) within its own boundaries and is approached off a small local lane with very little traffic.
 
Description
A drive leads to the south facing house which sits comfortably within its grounds looking out onto lawns and trees.
The front door opens into a garden room and through to the hall which has a staircase and shower room/cloakroom, and a study.
There are two main reception rooms. The sitting room (over 23 ft.) has a fireplace with an inset woodburning stove and a door to a small outer porch. The dining room is also a good size having a tiled floor and a wide archway into the kitchen.
This also has a tiled floor and a range of fitted units with lots of cupboards, work surfaces, a sink unit and appliances including an electric oven, hob, extractor fan, dishwasher and fridge.
It’s worth noting that there are wonderful views out of the kitchen window, out across the surrounding countryside.
Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and a separate utility room with a Belfast sink, fitted cupboards, and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.
First floor.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and the there is also a family shower room.
 
Outside
Close to the house is a substantial range of outbuildings which includes a large double garage with workbenches, power and light. Behind is a rear office with radiator and fitted shelving. A door leads to a file storeroom.
There is an additional single garage at the top of the drive, plus at the rear of the property there is a woodshed, and a storeroom with electricity. 
The gardens of around three quarters of an acre are mainly lawed with well-maintained mature hedges and beautiful mature trees. 
Beyond the formal gardens, the property opens out into over 5 acres of private meadow and mixed native woodland, creating an idyllic natural environment with a real sense of privacy and space.
The gently undulating meadow is bordered by mature hedgerows and dotted with established trees, The land has been lightly managed to encourage biodiversity, with areas of long grass, wildflowers, and thickets providing ideal cover for wildlife. Mown paths create inviting routes through the open areas and into the woods.
The woodland itself is wonderfully peaceful, after crossing a rustic bridge there are winding footpaths, and a natural canopy alive with birdsong. It offers a sanctuary for native species, and deer are frequent visitors — quietly moving through the undergrowth, as captured in the photographs.
This private and unspoilt setting is perfect for walking, nature watching, family exploring, or simply enjoying the quiet and seasonal beauty of the countryside right on your doorstep.

About the Area – Leigh Upon Mendip and Surroundings
Leigh Upon Mendip is a small, attractive village nestled within the rolling countryside of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has a warm and welcoming community, with a well-regarded primary school, a historic 14th-century parish church, and a popular local pub.
The surrounding countryside is exceptionally beautiful — a landscape of open farmland, ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, and gently undulating hills, rich in wildlife such as deer, owls, badgers and buzzards. The area offers outstanding walking, with direct access to a network of public footpaths, bridleways, and scenic circular routes. Notable nearby walking spots include Asham Wood, Cranmore Tower, and the East Mendip Way, with views across the Somerset Levels and towards Glastonbury Tor.
Despite its peaceful setting, the village is well connected. The historic cathedral city of Wells is around 10 miles away, while the creative market town of Frome, with its independent shops and arts scene, is just 6 miles to the east. The cities of Bath and Bristol are within easy reach, offering wider amenities and rail connections.
The area is well served by excellent schools. In addition to the village primary, there are several respected independent and state schools nearby, including Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows, Millfield, and good secondary schools in Frome and Midsomer Norton.
