Occupying an elevated rural location with breathtaking views, this unique property, originally two miners' cottages from the early 1800s, offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Set on land that was once a hop yard and closely associated with the Somerset Coal Canal, this home has been thoughtfully modernised and extended by its current owners over the past 25 years. ‘We were initially attracted to the peaceful yet convenient location and the fact that every window has a lovely view. It’s been a truly peaceful place to live and a great setting for bringing up children,’ say the owners. The ground floor features a welcoming living room with an Inglenook fireplace, exposed stone walls, and oak beams, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, there is a second sitting room and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, perfect for family gatherings. The upper two floors house five bedrooms, three bathrooms/shower rooms, and a separate study, providing ample space for a growing family or accommodating guests. The property spans approximately three acres of gardens and paddocks, offering plenty of space to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. Located on the edge of the village of Camerton and close to the city centre of Bath, the property boasts stunning views along the Cam Valley and easy access to the surrounding countryside. The nearby villages of Peasedown St John and Timsbury provide local shops and amenities. This wonderful family home is set in a tranquil, picturesque setting with a network of beautiful footpaths and bridle paths nearby, including a morning walk downstream by the Cam Brook and along the limestone link to Bath ‘The size of the property has enabled us to be very social, from hosting gatherings with bands and marquees to bonfire parties.’ ‘The house, built in 1835 and originally two cottages, is steeped in history – amazingly, The Titfield Thunderbolt used to run up the drive!’ ‘Bath is close enough to pop in for a coffee or meal or to jump on the train to London. Our children went to school in the city; however, there are great local schools.’ ‘The residents of the three houses in Bengrove all look out for each other.’ ‘I will miss the walks from the house, the wonderful views, and constant connection with nature.’ Additional Information: Postcode: BA2 0PH Local Authority: BANES Council Tax Band: G Services: Mains water, drainage and electric.
