Description

This five bedroom detached home and grounds have evolved and grown over the last few decades to create an enchanting home with additional dwellings. Using eco principles to make sure the natural habitat is not disturbed this is a special and rare opportunity to live so close to the city but within nature. The Property: The Mall House is a wonderful five bedroom detached home with additional guest accommodation, surrounded by beautiful countryside. It’s situated at the peak of Lansdown Road with Google advising that it is just 15 minutes from Bath Spa Railway Station and the same distance again to Junction 18 of the M4. This unique stone-built home sits in private gardens and woodland of 2.9 acres, offering panoramic views with spectacular sunsets across the Bristol Channel to Wales. There are five additional dwellings discreetly positioned within the woodland. This beautiful property sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with adjoining woodland providing the sound of birdsong and wonderful walks in all directions. The Main House: The Mall House is the original stone built detached house situated at the top of the site with wonderful views. The open plan living includes a bespoke kitchen with 1950’s retro units and cabinetry and electric Aga. Adjacent is the spacious dining area and the sitting room area benefitting from an exposed A-frame beam, a pair of double doors opening out onto the terrace plus an impressive stone fireplace with wood burning stove. This is a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining and is truly the heart of this charming home. To serve this open plan space is a ‘Back Kitchen’ for more storage, preparation area and utility room. There are five bedrooms, all unique with their own individual style including exposed beams, wood burning stoves and doors out to the terraces that surround the house. They are served by the large family bathroom including a free standing claw foot bath, plus a shower room. Over the years The Mall House has grown and expanded with individual wooden cabins, yurts and a classic wagon trailer, all sympathetically designed to create extra accommodation within the woodland with as little impact as possible on the wildlife and surrounds. Approached via a private drive to a parking area, a stepped path leads up through the gardens to the main house with a terrace wrapping around it designed to take in that spectacular view. A path then continues and leads to each individual dwelling until it flows down to the bottom of the garden again where The Wagon stands. Outside The Yurts: Two large yurts provide a spacious bedroom in one and an open plan sitting room and kitchen in the other, both with free-standing wood burning stoves. There is mains electricity, and a separate pod housing the bathroom with a free standing bathtub and stylish tiling. An electric boiler provides the hot water. Outside a wooden terrace provides a stunning outside space, literally feeling like you are in the trees. The Studio: A detached wooden dwelling with bedroom, bathroom, and outside seating area. The Cabin: A delightful home in the woods with a terrace to the front of the property providing a feeling of a treehouse. The grass roof adds to its charm. The exposed beams and central fireplace with a wood burning stove make the sitting room with its kitchenette area the perfect cosy living space. There are two bedrooms plus a bathroom. The Summer House: A low level wooden dwelling with light and airy sitting room with doors to a decked area, kitchen, double bedroom, and shower room. The Wagon: This is such a fun place to stay. Located at the bottom of the site, this 1950’s coach was restored and extended with wood cladding to provide a decked area outside the entrance. The hallway leads into the original coach with a kitchen and the sitting area keeping the feel of the original space. A double bed has been fitted at the far end.
