A carefully planned four bedroom detached family home in the popular village of Norton St Philip, just 8.1 miles from the centre of Georgian Bath. The property benefits from an exceptionally light, open plan kitchen/living/dining room with three pairs of bi-fold doors leading onto the garden, a second family room, four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, a family bathroom, off road parking for three vehicles and an outside ‘Dunster House’ home office/studio.

The vendor says: “The house was fourteen years old when I bought it ten years ago and is an attractive Cotswold stone built property with pantile roof, with sixteen new windows , replaced last year. I have opened up the internal space since moving in, so it now has a really contemporary feel and is extremely relaxing to live in. On entering through the door nearest the car parking space one is immediately in the heart of the house. The open plan kitchen/sitting room/dining room is very spacious, with room for three large sofas and dining table and chairs and has dusky walnut Amtico flooring tiles. There are Bisque radiators and a striking exposed metal beam as well as a custom made cast iron spiral staircase leading up to the principal bedroom suite. The whole length of the room is made up of three pairs of bi-fold doors which open straight out into the sunny garden and outside seating area: the perfect entertaining space. The kitchen at the far end has a breakfast bar and hob facing out so is a very sociable space; the cook can chat with the guests while preparing food. The white kitchen is fully equipped with gas hob, Bosch double oven, black marble worktops, and stainless steel sink and is double aspect. Next door to the kitchen is another large sitting room which is newly carpeted. This room is ideal for teenagers or for a more formal sitting room. It is also dual aspect with big windows and a door out to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, and utility room with boiler.”

“There are two staircases upstairs to the bedrooms. The spiral staircase from the main reception room leads up to the principal bedroom suite. This has large built in mirror door wardrobes across the back wall, with under eaves storage, and the headboard and bed located in the middle of the room so that the wardrobes can be accessed. There are windows looking out over the front and back garden. The en suite is a shower room with large shower with large ceramic Italian tiles and a darker stone floor as well as shelving. There is access to bedroom three from this room, so that this single bedroom could be used as nursery or as a dressing room, with floor to ceiling mirror and triple wardrobe. This bedroom can also be accessed from the other staircase as are the other two bedrooms. Bedroom two is the largest double bedroom and has fitted storage and shelving as well as its own en suite, with tiled floor and bath with shower over and glass shower screen. On the left is the family bathroom with tiled floor, bath, glass shower screen and shower. There is storage under the window. Bedroom four faces to the front and is a single bedroom with a view of the garden and storage down one wall. The landing has a built in bookcase – there is plenty of storage in this house!”

“Outside there is block paving all around the house for garden furniture so that guests can step straight out and soak up the sun in this south-west facing garden, and enjoy the lawn and raised flower bed which runs the length of the rear boundary. There is parking for three cars. The house is very private with a five bar gate, low wall, and high hedge round the lawned part of the garden and wooden black slatted fence with roses growing up it. There is a tool shed and a ‘Dunster House’ home office which is 14’ by 10’ and has just been painted and carpeted. There is electricity there, with windows to the front and side. This is the ideal home office with room for a desk, chair and a couple of easy chairs.”

“The house is very centrally located in the bustling village of Norton St Philip, but quiet as it is not on the main road. The well-stocked Co-op is only 0.2 miles away and the oldest pub in England, “The George Inn” is 0.3 miles away and “The Fleur de Lys” is close too. The Primary School has a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating and is 0.5 miles away. The village has a great sense of community with cricket on the Mead and the annual bonfire party. There are many historic buildings here in this picturesque village, but we love the fact that this is not a period property, so it is really easy to maintain, and the layout really suits a modern life-style. “
