Owned by the Harbin family for 399 years until 2007, the 62.04-acre Newton House estate at Newton Surmaville stands partly in Dorset and partly in Somerset.

The centerpiece of the property is a Grade I listed Jacobean manor that includes a great hall, a ‘Justice Room’ used as a study and a ‘museum kitchen.’ It was built between 1608 and 1612 and now provides 5 reception rooms, 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.

Formal gardens surround the house and in addition, there are areas of parkland, grazing land, woodland and frontage to the River Yeo. According to agents Knight Frank, “rough shooting opportunities abound” along with wildfowling and coarse fishing.
