Stunning £1.25m Somerset country house comes with six-acre vineyard, wine cellar and tasting room
A STUNNING country home that’s perfect for wine lovers has gone on the market for £1.25m and comes with its own six-acre vineyard.
Wraxall Vineyard in Somerset also includes a tasting room, a shop and a wine cellar.
The spot, located near the sleepy town of Shepton Mallet, is used by the current owners to run tasting tours around the grounds and space is available to expand the six acre vineyard by another five acres.
The gorgeous property, on the market with Stags, has a large kitchen-family room, a cosy sitting room and an office on the ground floor.
Upstairs are four well-sized bedrooms with en suite facilities and idyllic views out over the Mendip Hills.
The grape plantation is home to 4,500 vines and has won a number of international competitions for its wine.
The vines cover approximately six acres and comprise a mixture of Bacchus, Pinot noir, Pinot précoce and Seyval blanc.
There is also a stone built barn that houses the tasting room and shop as well as several secure wine stores.
The estate’s still and sparkling wines, which include a still dry white blend and a sparkling rose, are produced locally by renowned winemakers.
In 2018 the vineyard produced 17.7 tonnes of grapes – enough for an incredible 5,300 bottles of sparkling wine or 10,100 bottles of still wine.
Stags say the estate offers a unique opportunity for anyone with a taste for wine.
Ashton Greed, from Stags said: “This is certainly the dream house for anyone who loves wine.
“There aren’t many vineyards in the South West and but this one is thriving and selling through the likes of Waitrose.
“The house itself is all ready to move in and offers fantastic country open-plan living.”Anyone interested in Wraxall Vineyard should contact Stags directly.Current owners Jacky Brayton and Brian Shirley will be retiring from running the business.
The guide price relates to the freehold property and vines only, however the business, goodwill, intellectual property of the business, stock and equipment are to be agreed by separate negotiation.
