This Country Estate In Somerset Has Its Very Own Treehouse

On the market for a country home? This 51 acre estate is full of surprises – it even boasts its very own treehouse.

Harptree Court: £6.75 Million Home With A Treehouse

Nestled within verdant parkland and accessed via a charming wooden bridge, Harptree Court is a real gem – think 11 opulent bedrooms, eight bathrooms and six reception rooms. All of that just might be overshadowed, however, by another property on the estate: a magnificent one-bedroom treehouse.

Currently serving as a holiday let, the treehouse contains a cosy kitchen/living/dining area, a shower room and a large verandah. It also features a king-size bed, a wood-burning stove and a rather inviting copper bathtub.

A treehouse is certainly a unique addition to any country estate, and it’s a particularly quirky counterpart to the main house at Harptree Court, which is brimming with Georgian charm: just take a look at the magnificent drawing room, the wood-panelled living room, and the impressive crescent-shaped morning room. If you don’t fancy spending a night in the trees, you can take your pick of the 10 guest bedrooms here  – many feature ensuite bathrooms, while the principal suite encompasses a bathroom and a dressing room.  

With 51 acres of land to explore, space most certainly isn’t an issue on this estate; there’s a handy self-contained flat in the main house, a two-bedroom cottage neighbouring the stable yard, and a range of outbuildings including stores, greenhouses and former farm buildings. Take a stroll across the grounds and you’ll also spot a tennis court, a walled garden and a lily pond with its own charming pavilion. Spring-fed lakes complete the bucolic scene, along with some spectacular views reaching towards Chew Valley.

So, is this the perfect country home? We’d be inclined to think so. There’s nothing better than a garden with a treehouse, after all…
