Decoy Farm House, Somerton

About this property

Offering a blissful blend of away-from-it-all escapism and luxury boutique lifestyle with space to be together and room to be apart.

At Decoy Farm House a gorgeous interior awaits you with stunning furnishings and artistic flair outdone only by the incredible views. There are cosy picture-windowed corners to steal away to, and lavish living spaces for lounging in. The sitting room is perfect for relaxation, with an ornate fireplace for keeping things cosy during the cooler months, and the fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and seating makes home cooking a truly sociable affair.

Guests can gather round the farmhouse table in the kitchen to share meals and conversation, with large glass doors extending the entertainment area outside for warm weather entertaining. Spanning the length of the house, the furnished sandstone patio offers far reaching views of the landscape, with an elevated deck and hot tub inviting you to unwind at any time of the day or night.

With relaxation being at the forefront of the home’s design, guests can wander down to the grass paddock to enjoy a G&T in the sunshine, and for rainy afternoons there’s a cinema snug complete with sink-in seating and a flat screen TV. Upstairs, three beautifully styled bedrooms are perfect a great night's sleep as well as late morning lie-ins and post-lunch naps.

Home to an attractive market square, Somerton’s pretty stone houses and independently owned shops and restaurants reside on wide, tree-lined streets weaving the old and new together in fabulous fashion. Within a short distance from the house, the town offers guests a selection of eating-out options as well as ample opportunity for filling travel bags with one-off items to take home. Slightly further afield but easily accessible, the 300 year old Newt estate in Somerset is, by its own admission ‘a place of wonderment’; with its exquisite acreage, on-site restaurant and beautiful limestone buildings making it an absolute must-visit destination while visiting the area.
