For Sale4 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Bailbrook Lane, Bath, Somerset, BA1£1,100,000

Tollemache House is a magnificent Grade II listed property built in 1894 as a Victorian extension to Batheaston Villa. Nestled in the serene surroundings of Bailbrook Lane, a quiet access only road running parallel to London Road East, this stunning house is situated between the picturesque villages of Batheaston and Bathampton. With its captivating history and impressive original features, including large bay and stained-glass windows, fireplaces, picture rails, and a stone double fireplace in the kitchen, the house exudes timeless charm. Believed to have been initially connected to the main house, Tollemache House is steeped in rich local history, with the Reverend Tollemache and his family closely associated with the suffragette movement. Nearby Eagle House played a crucial role as a refuge for suffragettes from 1909 to 1912, adding to the property's significance. The layout of the house follows an L-shaped configuration, featuring living accommodation downstairs and three spacious bedrooms upstairs, each with its own en-suite bathroom. ‘The versatility of the property shines through the three reception rooms downstairs, currently utilised as a living room, study/snug, and an additional bedroom with independent access. This extra space has been a perfect private haven for our teenage daughter.’ Gated parking at the front and a large, south-facing terraced garden at the rear offer ample space for relaxation and entertaining. For over two decades, the current owners have cherished the warmth and hospitality of the house, creating lasting memories with family and friends. ‘The entrance hallway has built-in storage leading to a downstairs shower room, toilet and utility space on the right and a large kitchen area on the left. The house has two easily accessible loft areas which provide an excellent amount of storage.’ ‘Despite its abundant space, Tollemache House retains a cosy and homely feel, a characteristic that is sometimes lost in larger properties.’ ‘Stand out spaces are the kitchen, the hub of the home where we eat, play games and host get-togethers and the principal bedroom, a wonderfully private and quiet sanctuary with stunning views of the garden.’ ‘We have lovely neighbours on either side; everyone is sociable and always ready to feed pets or pop round for Christmas drinks.’ ‘The location is simply perfect, offering easy access to both the countryside and the Kennett and Avon Canal and the vibrant hustle and bustle of Bath’s city centre. Additionally, the proximity to the M4 motorway and Bristol further enhances its convenience.’ Additional Information Postcode: BA1 7AA Local Authority: BANES. Conservation area.
