Southfields is an elegant Grade II listed Regency villa dating from the 1840s, occupying a peaceful position on Church Road in the highly sought-after village of Combe Down, just moments from the centre of Bath. Constructed from the same distinctive oolitic limestone quarried beneath the village that helped shape much of Bath's renowned architecture, the property combines period grandeur with a modern touch. Purchased by the owners in 1998, the house has been sympathetically enhanced over the years, including a significant renovation that opened up parts of the interior and reinstated period character.

‘The style of the house is very appealing. The height and symmetry of all the rooms give it elegance and the large windows on all sides give it a light and spacious feel,’ say the owners.

The beautifully proportioned accommodation extends across two floors, with a reception hall at its heart leading to a staircase and a series of interconnected living spaces. Separate drawing and dining rooms provide formal entertaining areas, while a breakfast room flows through to the kitchen and adjoining garden room, creating a more relaxed family hub. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite bath and shower room, alongside a family bathroom.

‘Each season reveals a different side of the house: winter sun warms the main bedroom, spring highlights the magnolia-framed garden room, summer keeps the kitchen cool, and autumn invites fireside evenings.’ Outside, the level walled garden offers privacy, mature planting, fruit trees and a variety of seating areas to enjoy throughout the day. The house enjoys attractive views across partly wooded playing fields and the grounds of Monkton Combe Junior School. Church Road has become a quiet cul-de-sac, adding further to the sense of tranquillity, while Combe Down itself offers an excellent range of amenities, highly regarded schools and easy access to Bath. From the doorstep, residents can enjoy walks along the Bath Skyline, through Prior Park and towards Southstoke and the Millennium Viewpoint.

‘The house is interconnected by multiple doors and is perfect for entertaining. Many of the rooms can be adapted for different occasions.’

‘The entrance from the side adds to the feeling of privacy.’

‘The garden offers multiple areas to sit in shade or sun.’

‘We have very nice neighbours – everyone is keen to help each other and there is a WhatsApp group.’

‘Everything about this wonderful home will be missed’
