If you're in the market for secluded countryside luxury with more character than a Glastonbury pub quiz team, this week's Property of the Week might just be your perfect match.

Set in the hamlet of Butleigh Wootton, just outside Glastonbury, this five-bedroom period home is on the market with Sandersons UK for a guide price of £1,500,000 to £1,750,000.

And while the price might suggest slick modernity, what you get is a lovingly restored country classic with seriously swoon-worthy gardens, centuries-old charm, and enough room to host the entire village fete.

The full listing – including every stone wall, sash window, and potential piggery-turned-guest-suite – is here: Sandersons UK - Butleigh Wootton.

Let's start with the house: four to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four receptions. There's a bespoke kitchen, a dining room with a flagstone floor and a wood burner, and a south-facing garden room that's so full of light you may never leave. Original beams, Blue Lias stone, and exposed boards add just enough Somerset swagger to the place.

Upstairs, there's vaulted ceilings, countryside views from every room, and a principal bedroom that comes with its own curved-wall bath setup. The guest bedroom? Vaulted ceilings and morning sun. There's even a sneaky loft room perfect for stashing kids, guests or the fancy Christmas decorations.

Now, the garden. Oh, the garden. Over an acre of landscaped space, wild stream included, with sunny terraces, secret lawned areas, and a small copse for the aspiring poet or hammock enthusiast. Outbuildings include a summer house, stone storage rooms, a workshop and a garage – and yes, there's already water, power, and drainage in place for a possible conversion.

Check out all the details and the gallery here: Sandersons UK - Butleigh Wootton listing.

There's also a carport, a babbling brook, a pergola, and a driveway that wouldn't look out of place in a Jane Austen adaptation.

All told, this is a rare blend of rural escape and modern liveability – and it's ready for its next chapter.

Interested? Dive into the full listing and gallery at Sandersons UK – Butleigh Wootton. Bring your wellies and your renovation dreams – this one's got the space to make them real.
