Looking for period charm, modern luxury and your own income stream? For £1–1.25 million, Rookery in Pitney ticks every box — and then some.

This Grade II-worthy gem combines seven bedrooms, four receptions, a two-bed holiday let, a self-contained annex, and half an acre of manicured grounds. Not to mention an outdoor loo, a potting shed with electrics, and enough flagstone flooring to satisfy even the most dedicated period drama fan.

On the market with Sandersons UK, this 18th-century beauty sits on the quieter side of Pitney, just minutes from Langport and a scenic drive to Somerton or Glastonbury. It's packed with original features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, window seats — but updated with everything from a Rangemaster in the kitchen to underfloor heating in the converted barn.

Inside, the main house offers a blend of elegance and practicality, with spaces that can flex around family life, guests, or even a B&B setup. The kitchen/diner alone features quartz worktops, a walk-in pantry, an inglenook fireplace and a sideboard's worth of charm. Multiple living spaces make this a serious contender for multigenerational living or lifestyle businesses.

The Apple Press is a jaw-dropping holiday let in its own right: two bedrooms, private patio, polished concrete floors, and a glass-fronted living area that spills out into its own garden.

It's already bringing in bookings, and would also make a dream guesthouse or creative retreat. The attached annex (with its own entrance) adds further flexibility — perfect for visitors, adult children, or Airbnb income.

The grounds are just as thought out — half an acre of mature trees, terraced lawns, a wildlife pond, outdoor shower, potting shed, and peaceful views. From the west-facing lawn you can soak up the sunsets over a G&T (or something stronger), or wander the winding garden paths that frame the house in wildflowers and climbing roses.

This is a home that's ready to live in and love — and equally ready to earn its keep. Whether you're looking for a family base with space for guests, or a Somerset dream home with business potential, Rookery brings all the character with none of the compromise.
Currently for sale with Sandersons UK, this one's the full countryside package.
