After 25 wonderful years, the owners of detached Valley View are ready to downsize and hand over this much-loved home to new occupants. “This house has given us so much joy,” they say. “It’s been a peaceful haven, offering spectacular views and somewhere we’ve always felt connected to nature.”
Nestled in the heart of Shoscombe, Valley View is perfectly located for a quick 15-20 min drive to Bath Spa Train Station, which along with Southgate car park only minutes away, offers a rail user parking zone, charging at the national rail daily car parking rate. “This makes commuting to London a breeze” say the owners. Even closer is the Odd Down Park & Ride service, with buses departing every 15 minutes to Southgate, Bath city centre, again minutes away from the station and bus terminal.
Valley View offers the perfect balance of countryside calm and community spirit. “We loved that Shoscombe felt tucked away yet still so accessible,” they explain. There’s a great local primary school, a welcoming pub, and the Village Hall is always buzzing with events.
The property boasts generous proportions and has had thoughtful improvements over the years. It has four spacious double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite. Downstairs, the kitchen is both practical and inspiring, with NEFF appliances, ample storage, granite worksurfaces and a picture window looking onto nature. “Cooking here has always felt like a joy rather than a chore.” The large living room and kitchen both enjoy far-reaching views across the garden and surrounding hills. “No matter the time of day or season, the view always gives us pause – it’s never the same twice.”
In 2021, the garden was extended with the purchase of additional land, sparking a complete redesign. “We laid Italian porcelain tiles across the full width of the house, added subtle LED lighting and power points – it’s completely transformed how we use the space.”
Shoscombe offers easy access to Bath’s shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, while nearby towns such as Radstock and Frome provide additional amenities. Local features including schools, pubs, and scenic countryside walks are all close at hand, and the area is well-connected by both road and public transport."

“The garden is perfect for summer evenings, with just the right mix of elegance and practicality.”

“Wildlife lovers will feel right at home as the birds here are just incredible – Woodpeckers, Robins, Jays, even Owls. Kestrels and Sparrowhawks. Recently, we saw a very different flock fly by overhead, the Red Arrows!”

“The double garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or extra appliances – this space has been a real asset over the years.”

“We’ve felt so lucky to live somewhere that offers so much – the stillness, the views, a front row seat to the changing seasons and to nature. Now it’s time for someone new to write their own chapter here at Valley View.”
