Property Summary
Occupying an elevated position within the highly desirable village of Wellow, Easter How is a unique detached chalet-style bungalow enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside.
Owned by the same family for around 50 years, the Bath stone-faced home is surrounded by mature gardens that have been lovingly cultivated over the decades, creating a peaceful and private setting just a short drive from Bath.
'It was the property's unique quality, amazing views of the open countryside and village location that first attracted me,' says the owner. Just 2.5 miles from Bath's Park & Ride, the property combines the tranquillity of rural living with convenient access to the city's shops, schools, rail services and motorway links.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation offers flexible living space. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, single bedroom and shower room, while the lower ground floor features a spacious sitting/dining room leading through to the kitchen and a conservatory, the latter with French doors opening onto the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a shower room and a landing with loft access. A detached brick-built garage with electricity and plumbing provides excellent storage and utility space. A recently installed oil-fired boiler adds modern efficiency, while the property offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update it.
The gardens are a particular feature, wrapping around all four sides of the house and framing the surrounding countryside from every aspect. Lawns, colourful flower beds, mature shrubs and fruit bushes create year-round interest, while a distinctive sunken water garden, originally a watercress bed, provides an attractive focal point. 'The beautiful gardens and wonderful views across the open countryside are what make this home so special,' says the owner.
Wellow is prized for its sense of community centred largely around the primary school, and welcoming church and Fox & Badger pub. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, there are abundant walking and horse riding routes through the rolling landscape beyond, making it ideal for an outdoor lifestyle. A village hall, church, tennis club and nearby everyday amenities all contribute to its enduring appeal.
‘The large sitting and dining room, with doors opening into the conservatory and out to the garden, has always been an excellent space for entertaining.’
‘With its beautiful gardens and wonderful countryside views, Easter How has been a wonderful place to live.’
‘I'll miss the whole property and its location, which offers the perfect balance of country living and easy access to the city of Bath.’
