UPDATE: |The Great British Bake Off mansion is up for sale at an eye-watering price News

It is being listed for £6,750,000

The stunning mansion which appears as a backdrop in the Great British Bake Off is now on the market for nearly £7million.

Harptree Court, Somerset, is a Grade II Listed Georgian country house boasting 51 acres, 11 bedrooms, eight bathrooms – plus a separate two bedroom cottage.

The Georgian stately home featured in seasons three and four of Channel 4’s baking competition The Great British Bake Off, in 2013 and 2014.

Harptree Court can be spotted in the background during the popular Channel 4 show when panning around the famous tent where bakers compete to be awarded the elusive Star Baker award.

The Great British Bake Off launched on BBC in 2010, before moving to Channel 4 in 2017 where it has been broadcast ever since.

Harptree Court has been listed by Knight Frank for £6,750,000 and viewings can now be requested online. The massive site also features a Victorian stable yard and a treehouse – fitted with a copper bath.

The home is thought to have been built in 1797 by Charles Harcourt, Masters of Bath – an English surveyor and architect in Bath. It was built for Joshua Scrope who sold the house in 1803 to the Waldegrave family.

Harptree Court was sold again in 1858 when it was bought by a Miss Gurney. Then in 1879 it was bought by William Wildman Kettlewell, whose son William Robert Wildman Kettlewell served as a Commander in the Royal Navy during World War I.

The property was then bought in 1920 by the previous owner’s grandparents and was bought by the current owners in 2020, who undertook an extensive restoration.

Harptree Court is located nine miles away from Bristol Airport, 16 miles away from the nearby city of Bath, and 15 miles away from the M5 motorway.
