4 bedroom detached house

Versatile four bedroom, two bathroom detached chalet bungalow with separate studio, double garage and stunning country views, on the fringes of the desirable village of South Stoke, just 3.4 miles from the heart of Georgian Bath.

The house is exceptionally light and spacious, with three of the four bedrooms located downstairs, and an extremely easy flow to the house. There is a lovely large light filled open kitchen/diner. The streamlined kitchen has white units, white metro tiles and a single oven with microwave oven fitted above, as well as a gas hob. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens out into a generous dining room, with bay window, enjoying beautiful country views over fields across the Midford valley. There is a separate sitting room with a built in display cupboard and a gas fire, making it very cosy in winter. This spacious south facing room really takes advantage of those country views and opens out into a conservatory which further enjoys the idyllic rural outlook. On the ground floor there are three bedrooms, the principal is a generous double bedroom with bay window and built in wardrobes, and there is a second double bedroom and a single bedroom as well as a family bathroom. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor, with an under stairs cupboard for coats and a built-in storage cupboard opposite the cloakroom. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom with en suite bathroom. The loft space has potential for conversion subject to relevant consents.

Outside there is ample off street parking as well as a double garage and an outside studio space. The garden is largely laid to lawn with two greenhouses, raised vegetable beds, mature fruit trees, shrubs and a patio area, the perfect spot to sit and relish the view.

South Stoke is a sought after village with a strong community spirit. The village pub, The Packhorse, was built in the seventeenth century and is a wonderful hub for the village and has a stunning garden and excellent food and is 0.5 miles’ walk from the house. The village holds a traditional village fete every two years and a village summer barbeque on alternate years. There is an active church, St James’s, with a family service once a month and the Village Hall is the venue for Art Classes, Singing Groups, Pilate Classes and History Lectures. The community also pulls together to host seasonal events – for example Harvest Festival and Christmas Canapes.

The house is very conveniently located for grocery shopping: it is only 0.9 miles to the large Sainsburys on Frome Road. Excellent schools are within easy reach, with Come Down primary school (Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) 1.5 miles away, Ralph Allen Senior School is 2.2 miles away and Beechen Cliff School is 2.3 miles away, while Prior Park School is 1.7 miles away. The centre of Bath with all its unique shops, galleries, bars and restaurants is 3.4 miles away. The location of this flexible family home has been perfect, on the edge of a highly sought after village, with beautiful country views and walks, but also within such easy reach of this World Heritage city.
