The Location

Witham Friary

Witham Friary is a small and picturesque Somerset village set within beautiful countryside between Frome and Bruton. Steeped in history, it takes its name from the Witham Charterhouse, England’s first Carthusian priory founded in the 12th century, with much of the priory church now forming the parish church of St Mary. At the heart of the village are the welcoming Seymour Arms, a traditional pub dating back to the 1860s, and the village hall, which hosts community events. There are croquet and cricket clubs plus a children's playground that is located close to the property. Though wonderfully rural and tranquil, Witham Friary is only a short drive from the vibrant market town of Frome, with its boutiques, cafés, cinema, and theatre, and the artistic hub of Bruton, home to the renowned Hauser & Wirth gallery and stylish restaurants such as At the Chapel. The surrounding countryside provides endless walking opportunities, while practical amenities are close to hand.

Families are well served by local schools: highly regarded primary options include Upton Noble CofE VC Primary and several Good-rated schools in nearby Frome, while secondary and independent choices such as King’s Bruton, Downside, and Wells Cathedral School are all within easy reach. Witham Friary offers the perfect blend of rural charm, historic character, and convenient access to excellent facilities — an idyllic setting for those seeking a peaceful yet well-connected village life.
