Description
This Grade II Listed former coachman’s house has been the subject of sympathetic refurbishment and extension to offer a versatile layout with the addition of a home office studio. Suitable to accommodate multi-generational living with a potential ground floor bedroom suite, the convenient location is ideal for all age groups and the most discerning buyers looking for a piece of local history.
Dating from the mid-18th Century, this former coachman’s/gardener’s cottage is only attached at the rear to the garages of Batheaston House. It has been extensively updated and extended to offer the current layout over three floors that includes a potential ground floor bedroom suite with wet room. The front door opens to the primary reception room with a slate floor and French doors to the garden. Open stairs ascend to the upper floor with further steps flanking a feature wall to the kitchen. Fitted in a modern, contemporary style with a comprehensive range of cabinets on three sides including integrated appliances and space for a large fridge freezer. Returning to the reception room, a doorway and slate floor continue to the family dining room with a wood burner to one corner and a deep window looking over the garden. From here, doors open to the wing extension with a utility cupboard and a shallow flight of steps down to a further sitting room. With an exposed feature stone wall and tiled flooring, a sliding door opens to the garden and a large roof light adds to the natural light of this room. A modern fitted and fully tiled wet room adds the benefit of using this area as a guest suite if required. On the first floor, a wooden floored landing has an airing cupboard and access to each of the three bedrooms. The largest is vaulted with deep windows offering a view of the "Secret Garden" and an ornamental fireplace. The second bedroom is also vaulted, and both are served by a luxurious bathroom with egg bath in addition to a separate shower cubicle. The third bedroom has a space saver staircase up to an attic bathroom also with slate floor, Velux, and storage.
Outside
The walled garden has electric gates providing parking for a number of vehicles on a gravel drive. With a raised and fenced terrace to the front of the house, providing a lovely seating area, the garden offers excellent privacy. In addition to various storage areas, there is a bespoke, wood clad home studio that comprises a sitting room with compact fitted kitchen area with twin electric hob and fridge, and a cloakroom.
Situation
Located in the heart of this convenient village with all essential amenities within a 500ft walk and on a main bus route into Bath city. The walled setting is well established with mature surrounds providing excellent privacy and security. The A4 and A46 lead to the M4 Junction 18 in the north, with Bath Spa railway station offering direct services to London Paddington and the west. Being some 3 miles away and accessible on foot along the towpath at nearby Bathampton, Bath city offers a wonderful selection of restaurants, bars, and its numerous buildings of historic interest. Schooling for all ages is well catered for with the local primary school just 500 yards away. Bristol International Airport is also less than 21 miles drive away.
