House For Sale £800,000
A pretty period detached stone built farmhouse with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an attached one bedroom annex with kitchen and a separate log cabin/studio, double garage and gardens, and rural views conveniently located just 5.4 miles from Bath.
The vendors say: “This is a house with a great deal of history, and it is reputed that Lord and Lady Stantonbury once owned the house. We have restored it over the years to adapt it for twenty first century living but kept its character and period charm. We decided to reconfigure some of the reception rooms to allow for a large spacious living room, keeping its original features - and it is now a wonderful room in which to entertain or have family occasions, with a Bath stone surround fireplace with a wood burning stove and second fireplace with bread oven next to it. Double french doors in the living room provide direct access to the conservatory and thence to the terrace and the gardens, and it is lovely to throw open the doors onto the gardens on a fine summer evening. The recently renovated open plan country kitchen/dining room has cream wall and floor units with black granite work surfaces and up-stands, a wine rack, glazed display cupboards, space for American fridge/freezer, a cream Belling range cooker with extractor hood, and central island with granite top and room for several bar stools. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room which opens out to the garden. Adjacent to this is a one bedroom annexe with kitchen, bedroom and shower room with its own front door leading out a private garden area. A wine cellar is located below ground with power and light.”
“Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two of which have stunning views across Duchy owned farmland towards Stantonbury Hill. Bedroom Three has views towards Bath and an en suite shower room, and the fourth bedroom also has lovely views. The family bathroom has a freestanding roll top bath with claw feet and mixer tap incorporating shower attachment and there is a large shower enclosure with thermostatic shower head. Outside there is a timber cabin which has a wc and basin, currently used as a hairdressing salon and a separate studio. There is a detached double garage with power and light and plenty of off road parking as well as an in-out drive. The gardens are largely on the west side of the house, with a wrought iron pedestrian gate and central pathway leading to the front door. The garden is laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and a Yew tree.”
“It is such a wonderful country setting with beautiful views over land mostly owned by Duchy of Cornwall, and many beautiful country walks. Bath Spa University with its parkland designed by Capability Brown has stunning walks and Newton St Loe farm shop is a great place to have brunch or afternoon tea. The village of Corston is 1.4 miles away with post office and shop. The Wheatsheaf Inn is just next door, and Saltford is 3.1 miles away with a range of shops and Waitrose as well as the well regarded Primary and Wellsway Secondary School. The centre of Georgian Bath is just 5.4 miles away with so many cultural and shopping opportunities, bars and restaurants to visit.”
“This house has been a perfect family home for us and is very flexible as it can be used to work from home and to let out the annex or use as an Airbnb or a dependent relative. The location in a lovely village, yet so close to Bath has been brilliant.”
