About Coleford House

Coleford House is situated on the river Mells which runs through the property. The large lawn abuts the riverbank with a section given over to wildflowers and a well-planted ornamental Lily Pond. The Georgian house and outbuildings are surrounded by vibrant herbaceous borders and lead into an orchard cum arboretum also on the riverbank and into a walled garden planted in hot colours with an underfloor heated orangery where tea and cake will be served. At the back of the walled garden is a substantial bat house. On the other side of the house sits a kitchen garden and beyond that a rose cutting cum vegetable garden.
