Peacefully located up a long driveway, this period attached Grade II listed farmhouse with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and paddock has stunning countryside views and is almost equidistant from central Bath (6.1 miles) and Bristol (7.2 miles).

The vendor says: “The farmhouse was built in the late eighteenth century and then was further developed in Victorian times, so it is full of period charm. The plan is an L shape, with the front door opening out on to the sitting room which has many original features such as the fireplace, cupboards and window seats. The family room and dining room have original flagstone floors and window seats. There is a glazed porch which gives access to a cloakroom and useful utility room. This area opens into a passage which leads to the kitchen and to the store.”

“Upstairs there are five bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms. There is a family bathroom as well and a guest cloakroom. The views from the bedrooms are sensational, you can see for miles across fields and over the hills.”

“Outside there is a delightful courtyard and terrace and lawns. There is parking for up to eight cars, so this is the perfect house for entertaining, and welcoming guests. We are also very lucky to have about four acres of paddocks.”

“There is a great sense of community within the village, with many local events such as the traditional village fete in September and the candlelit carol service at the Anglo-Saxon church, St Mary’s. There are also frequent cinema nights at Flicks in the Sticks at the village hall, Gardening Club, History Group and many other local societies. We have a well-stocked village shop, hairdressers’, pub, Garden Centre and Rec for football and tennis. Bitton is ideally located between Bath and Bristol and it is easy to join M4 which is 8.7 miles away for trips to London. For food shopping Waitrose is in Keynsham, only 3.6 miles away. There is a primary school in the village and Oldfield School has been rated ‘Outstanding.’ The excellent private schools of Bath such as Kingswood, King Edward’s and Royal High School are very accessible.”

“This has been the perfect house for us: in such a serene location with superb views, such a lovely house offering so much space and period charm yet located so close to the World Heritage city of Bath and the vibrant commercial centre of Bristol. There is potential to further develop the property, subject to relevant consents. The barn could be developed for either a 2-bedroom holiday let or home-office/studio use. The cowshed could be a 3 car car-port and the rooms inside, the dairy, cellar and garden room, could be brought into use as well. The house which already offers so much is ready to be taken on to its next journey.”
