Set at the top of the beautiful St Catherine’s Valley, just minutes from the city of Bath, Kingfisher Barn is a stunning stone barn conversion that pairs idyllic endless countryside with easy access to everything you need.

Originally a dairy farm, the barn was converted in 2012 after the farmer retired. After extensive work, the current owner completed the home to a high specification, resulting in a quality country home in a peaceful setting.

"I was attracted to the barn for its beautiful stonework and the surrounding countryside, the walks and the quietness, yet within distance of Bath and schools."

Accommodation. Arranged in a U-shape around a sheltered courtyard garden, the house offers generous and versatile accommodation over two floors. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, three bedrooms, (two en-suites and a family bathroom), a games/gym room, large sitting room and substantial kitchen/diner leading to a utility room. Upstairs is a spacious principal bedroom suite with a luxurious bathroom.

‘The layout suits family life and hosting guests equally well, with room for everyone to enjoy their own space. There is so much flexibility.’

"I love the cosy sitting room in the winter by the fire and what really sold it was the kitchen, upstairs and courtyard area."

Outside. The courtyard is a particular highlight, providing a private, contained space that is protected from the elements and not overlooked. ‘Double doors open up to the outside, making it particularly suited to entertaining. We get all-day sunshine, which makes it great for BBQs and it seems to have its own microclimate.’ There is private parking for several cars, as well as a double car port.

Kingfisher Barn is conveniently placed for Bath and Bristol, as well as local schools and the M4. Equestrian facilities are just a short walk, while Marshfield is close by for shops, pubs and everyday essentials. A friendly local WhatsApp group keeps neighbours connected.

‘Being in a peaceful spot which feels as though you’re miles from anywhere, but which is actually quite close to good amenities, makes the location excellent.’

‘You can just step out of the door for a walk, either on tracks and paths or into the woods or around the reservoir – it takes moments to get onto the limestone link to the Cotswold Way.’

‘It’s an extremely safe area to live in, and the countryside really is very beautiful.’
