Three bedroom detached family home with stunning countryside views over Priston and Wilmington. This contemporary home built four and a half years ago, has electric gates, a double garage with open frontage, separate office, bespoke kitchen, large living room with outside balcony, three bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms, and gardens. Located down a quiet lane in the heart of the countryside but just 5.5 miles from the centre of Bath, the location is idyllic.

The vendors say: “The position at the end of this peaceful lane with views over the countryside made this the perfect plot on which to build. Electric gates open onto a brick paved driveway and a three bay garage, two of which are open fronted, and the third has a door which leads into a utility/ boot room and cloakroom. There is a staircase to an office in the eves. With planning permission, it would be possible to make this area into a one bedroom apartment.”

“The house is built in Bath stone, half of which is clad in cedar. There is an L shaped kitchen extension to this upside down house. With a zinc roof and anthracite grey aluminium windows, the kitchen has been handmade by local craftsmen in bespoke softwood with oak worktops and painted in a heritage Farrow & Ball colour. There is a Bath stone tiled floor, traditional radiators, a range cooker, Belfast sink, handmade pew on the back wall which makes a real feature with the dining table. We can comfortably seat eight here, so it is a lovely room for entertaining. The views up the garden and the vaulted ceiling give this room great character.”

“Bath stone curved steps lead up to the hall and snug. Opposite the front door is a log burner, so it really is a nice warm welcome into the house when you enter this way. There is a cloakroom, electric cupboard, LPG boiler. The sitting room is large with two window seats to sit at look at the stunning views over Priston. It is a room for all seasons, with stable doors outside to the balcony to soak up the views and the sunshine in summer and a log burner keeps the room really cosy in the winter. There is an oak staircase down to three good sized double bedrooms, all of which are en suite. The master has a shower, roll top bath, lavatory, double vanity unit and lighted mirror above, and the other two have a shower, with double vanity unit and lighted mirror above, and lavatory. There is a small hall to the bedroom with an under stairs cupboard and airing cupboard.”

“There is decking outside the kitchen and two patio areas to take advantage of the gorgeous views. We have a pagoda, and barbeque area with roses, perennials and shrubs. It is a lovely garden for entertaining in and taking in the view. There are wonderful country walks from right outside our front door. The nearest pub is the King William Inn which is 0.2 miles away and a restored seventeenth century coaching inn with good food. Tunley is a hamlet but has a good community with lots going on in the recreation centre including yoga, dog training classes and a toddler group. Timsbury is the nearest large village, 1.9 miles away, with a doctor’s surgery, a chemist, church, a post office, a primary school, the Seven Stars pub, an excellent fish and chip shop and Connie’s Tearooms and Bistro. Georgian Bath is 5.5 miles away and there is a bus service into Bath. Commuting to London from Bath Spa station is 80 minutes. This has been a brilliant house; contemporary and easy 21st century living , but in such a tranquil and serene spot with stunning views, but excellent transport links. ”
