Built in 1526 and Grade II listed, The Meryan House began life as a farmhouse on the edge of Taunton. Five hundred years later, its oak beams, thick stone walls and walled gardens remain — a rare pocket of calm in the Somerset countryside.

The house & grounds
Character in every corner
Set in its own grounds, the house keeps the warmth of a family home: low beams, open fires in the cooler months, and quiet corners to read or talk. Outside, mature gardens and a grand old oak give shade through the summer — the kind of place that asks you to slow down.
Just a mile from the centre of Taunton, it is perfectly placed for exploring Somerset, the Quantock Hills and the coast beyond — yet feels a world away.
