A spacious utility room with stable door leads to the rear terrace outside. Stepped down from the kitchen is a garden room which enjoys an Aga wood burner and access to the terrace and garden via three sets of glazed double doors which frame the far-reaching views and paddocks below. The study connects to the garden room via two glazed pocket doors which also capture the glorious views. To the first floor are four bedrooms, two with ensuite shower rooms with the other two bedrooms having the use of the family bathroom, which has a large freestanding bath and a steam/shower cubicle. All bathrooms are fitted with high quality contemporary traditional-style fittings from Imperial, travertine stone and underfloor heating.
To the second floor is a further bedroom with dual aspect and free-standing bath to one corner. Overall, this beautifully appointed character family home offers traditional features with comfort and style, set in quiet picturesque countryside whilst being only moments from the Heritage City of Bath. Situated at the end of a quiet no-through lane, access to the property is via tall wooden gates leading onto a large gravel parking area with a further access via a wooden five bar gate mid-way along Kites Farm Lane.
The property enjoys approximately seven acres of gardens, grounds and paddock land that wrap around three sides of the home offering a large degree of privacy and far reaching uninterrupted south westerly views across the open countryside and towards Bath and Bristol. There are formal gardens arranged with large level lawns and structural hedging, gravel seating areas, a screened and enclosed children’s play area and kitchen garden. There are gravel and paved areas allowing access all around the property and a large stone-built garden store. A range of traditional stone-built barns situated adjacent to the house are currently arranged as stables with storage, an open bay and tack room although would be well suited to converting into ancillary accommodation (subject to the necessary listed planning consents being obtained).
The paddocks are mainly to one side of the property with twin access via five-bar gates, stock-proof hedging and post and rail fencing. There is a further stone-built barn located in the field, which gently slope down and away from the home. The property’s grounds provide a secure and enjoyable environment for young children and pets to thrive safely, whilst also being extensive enough for horses or livestock.
