House For Sale £1,400,000
St Catherine, Nr Bath BA1


Description
This detached property is believed to have been originally built-in the 16th century within the Tudor period, but was developed in the Georgian period and has evolved into a most attractive detached country property.

The present owners have resided in the house for approximately 37 years and at the time of purchasing it, fully refurbished the property throughout. It provides well proportioned rooms with a light and airy feel to it, but throughout there are some wonderful period features including 2 superb Inglenook fireplaces, exposed oak beams, wonder oak flooring and doors throughout.

The property does have potential to be extended further and around 2003, plans were drawn up for an extension to one side of the property which were never carried out. It should also be noted that adjacent to the property is a stone built stable which may also provide potential as an annex.

The property is set in wonderful, landscaped gardens which have been lovingly laid out and cared for by the existing owners and gardener which includes many specimen trees including Indian bean, flowering cherry, liquid amber and silver birch. In addition, there is a paddock which is currently divided into 2 and has been planted as an orchard with fruit trees and has also been used to graze sheep.
