Behind private timber gates and approached by a magnificent tree-lined driveway, Rookery Farm unfolds as one of Somerset's most compelling private country estates. Set within approximately 70 acres of beautiful Mendip countryside, this exceptional holding combines a substantial six-bedroom period farmhouse, a newly renovated three-bedroom annexe, extensive equestrian facilities, indoor leisure complex and over 11,000 square feet of agricultural warehousing, creating a rare opportunity to embrace an unrivalled rural lifestyle. Dating back to the 17th century, the handsome stone farmhouse forms the centrepiece of the estate, surrounded by mature gardens, open pasture and far-reaching countryside. Extending to over 8,000 square feet, the main residence effortlessly balances period character with modern family living. A welcoming reception hall, complete with a traditional turning staircase and galleried landing, leads to an array of beautifully proportioned reception rooms where stone fireplaces, exposed timbers and mullioned windows provide warmth, charm and a tangible sense of history. The kitchen and family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home; a space designed for modern country living where family breakfasts evolve into relaxed entertaining, and where the changing seasons are enjoyed through views across the gardens and estate beyond. Complementing the principal residence is a beautifully renovated detached annexe extending to approximately 1,159 square feet. Recently transformed to an exceptional standard, the accommodation blends contemporary styling with character features and includes a stunning open-plan living space centred around a striking Crittall-style internal door. Finished to a high specification throughout, the annexe offers three bedrooms and versatile accommodation perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, staff quarters or potential income generation. Leisure facilities are equally impressive. The indoor swimming pool complex and adjoining gym create a private wellness retreat, providing year-round enjoyment whilst opening onto the courtyard and beautifully landscaped gardens.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire two period homes in an idyllic setting, offering flexibility, charm, and scope for personalisation. Seller Insight As the fifth generation of our family to call The Old Rectory home, it is hard to put into words just how special this place is, say the current owners. Nestled in the heart of the village yet set back from the road in a wonderfully private location, this former Georgian rectory has been the backdrop to countless cherished memories. With its high ceilings, arched windows, and generous reception rooms, it has been a place of celebration, gathering, and quiet retreat. The house sits on an expansive plot, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the property, the owners continue. The front lawn, once home to a grass tennis court, has hosted everything from village flower festival teas to family weddings. The rear garden extends down through the orchard to the river, where a landing stage and boathouse provide the perfect launch point for punting, rowing, and summer picnics along the water. The Wellingtonia tree, planted in the early 1850s to commemorate the Duke of Wellington, stands as a proud testament to the property's history. Inside, our favourite space has always been the drawing room, with its bay window and French doors leading out to the garden, the owners say. This is where we gathered as a family—four children, then grandchildren—to toast crumpets on the fire at Christmas; or with all of our friends and neighbours for our mother's famous Christmas parties for nearly 100 guests! The kitchen, remodelled in 2013, opens into a breakfast room and yard, linking to the boot room for practicality. Other upgrades include a full rewire in 2018 and a new lead roof on the sitting room bay window just last year. Beyond the main house, the Coach House offers independent living, thoughtfully converted by our architect uncle in 1976 and further enhanced in 2013 with a lift, an expanded kitchen-dining area, and a sitting room with French doors overlooking the river. It enjoys its own peaceful garden, making it a perfect retreat. The local area has much to recommend it, too. The village of Hemingford Abbots itself is an idyllic place to live, with a thriving community spirit centred around the church, village hall, and nearby pub. Excellent schools, both state and private, are within easy reach, and transport links to Cambridge, London, and beyond make this an ideal countryside escape with city access. From village regattas and footpaths leading to charming local cafés, to birdwatching on the common and National Trust sites nearby, there is a wealth of outdoor pursuits to enjoy. Village Information Hemingford Abbots is a highly sought-after conservation village, renowned for its charming period properties, historic church spire, and beautiful riverside walks. The village features the well-regarded Axe and Compass public house, while additional amenities, including a primary school, farm shop, and sports facilities, are available in nearby Hemingford Grey, just a mile away. Cambridge, only 14 miles away, is a global hub for high-tech and biotech industries, home to world-renowned research facilities, shopping, cultural attractions, and leading educational institutions.

Step through the front door and the house announces itself immediately: an oval reception hall rises overhead, anchored by a timber-tread staircase with glass side panels and a stainless steel handrail. From here, the ground floor unfolds with a study wired for high-speed internet and opening onto the front garden via French doors, a guest cloakroom, a dining room that comfortably seats ten, and a triple-aspect games room warmed by a corner fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room, fitted by Formwork Architects, centres on a large island and curved breakfast bar alongside an AGA, integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry — flowing seamlessly into a striking conservatory beneath a mono-pitched glass roof, complete with a first-floor internal balcony and French doors onto the terrace. A utility room, boot room, and rear garden access complete the ground floor, with underfloor heating running throughout every level of the house. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to a triple-aspect sitting room with sweeping views over the Test Valley and its own corner fireplace. The principal suite offers a private balcony overlooking the stables, a fitted dressing room, and an en suite with both a shower and separate spa bath. Two further bedrooms — one with its own balcony, the other with extensive wardrobe space — share a well-appointed family bathroom. A spiral stone staircase climbs to the vaulted top floor, where two more large double bedrooms with built-in storage sit alongside a family shower room and a bright, galleried gym or quiet retreat above the sitting room. Linking it all is a glass-panelled bridge in a stainless steel frame — a genuine architectural centrepiece that floods the upper floors with light. The equestrian facilities stand apart from the main house, featuring an American-style barn with six Loddon loose boxes, a tack room, and a secure internal area for grooming and tacking up. An all-weather, flood-lit manège and post-and-rail paddocks complete a serious riding setup, while a separate outbuilding — with kitchenette, WC, a store which also houses a full-size generator with automatic mains changeover, keeping the property running through any power outage, and an open-fronted barn — offers flexibility for private or livery use, with scope for future commercial potential. Set in the heart of the Test Valley and bordered by the sweeping 1,400-acre Heath Estate, Woolbury enjoys the best of both worlds — genuine rural peace on its doorstep, with excellent connectivity close at hand. Stockbridge Down is within easy reach, while the cities of Winchester and Salisbury, along with air, road, and rail links to London and beyond, are all comfortably accessible. Nearby Stockbridge has long been known as the centre of trout fishing on the internationally renowned River Test, and today offers a charming mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, alongside a well-regarded butcher and local hotel. Schooling options in the area are excellent, ranging from Stockbridge Primary and Danebury Secondary School (formerly Test Valley Secondary) to a wealth of independent choices including Farleigh, Embley, Godolphin, Pilgrims', St Swithun's, and Winchester College. For those commuting, the A30 provides swift access to the A303 and M3, while direct rail services from Winchester or Micheldever reach London Waterloo in as little as 57 minutes. Beyond the property itself, the surrounding countryside offers wonderful opportunities for walking, riding, and cycling, as well as world-class trout fishing on the River Test. Agents Note: There is planning permission dated 21st January 2025 for the installation of a domestic 42 panel solar array in the corner of the paddock behind the house. Details on request.

Desford LE9 Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement predates the Norman Conquest. In one of many Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century the predominant farming community were forced to become invested with industrial economics and then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 and then to freight in 1984. A half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane is a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There is an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre.
