On the market for the first time since its 1985 construction, this secluded detached city home sits on the edge of the Cotswold Way in the heart of Weston village, a twenty-minute stroll from Bath's vibrant centre. Cherished by four generations, it was lovingly designed to withstand time. The owner, reflecting on Daphne House says, ‘set in grounds formerly part of a nearby large house, it was designed by my late mother-in-law. My family has lived here for a decade, and we recommend it as the perfect city hideaway, a highly unusual property to find.’ Surrounded by mature, part-walled gardens with a tree-lined driveway, it offers ample parking and a turning area. The garden, with a pond and various areas ideal for eating out, playing games and catching the sun is part bordered by an ancient yew hedge. ‘It's a sensorial oasis, blooming in warmer months with scented flowers like roses, honeysuckle, and jasmine. A haven for wildlife, it's a gardener's delight.’ The property also boasts ample flexible space inside.

The kitchen area is a highly sociable space with room for a vast table.’ ‘We have side access to a lane which hosts the Cotswold Way, here one can do a circular 2.5 hour walk to Lansdown, Kelston Roundhill and back to Weston village, a breathtaking route.’ ‘The study/library has a wonderful semi-circular window which was designed for reading, playing bridge, entertaining and enjoying the natural surroundings.’ Additional Information Postcode: BA1 4AY Local Authority: BANES.
