Very spacious detached six bedroom family home with large garage, parking, gardens and beautiful views over to the Mendip Hills, on the outskirts of Timsbury just 8 miles from the centre of Georgian Bath.

The vendor says: “The space and stunning country views are what initially appealed to us when we moved here 23 years ago. The drive has parking for six or seven cars and then there are three steps up to the patio, surrounded by lawns and shrubbery. There is a large hall with a balustraded staircase on the left hand side. On the right is an airy sitting room which is exceptionally light and bright with a picture window to the front and French doors out to the front patio. This leads to the formal dining room which also has French doors out to the back garden. The spacious kitchen/diner has room for a sofa as well as a table for six. The cream kitchen units are arranged in an L shape with wall cupboards and there is room for an electric range cooker with extractor over. There is also a useful utility room with similar units to those in the kitchen, and downstairs cloakroom on this floor.”

“On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the principal bedroom with en suite shower and there is a family bathroom and an airing cupboard. There are lovely views over open country from both the front and back bedrooms as well as the two large bedrooms which are on the next floor, where there is also a bathroom. We will really miss those stunning views when we move. There is also a double garage with loft space above. Outside the garden at the back is very private and fully enclosed, a perfect spot for table and chairs.”

“We are located on the outskirts of Timsbury with only nine houses in the vicinity – a small rural community. In Timsbury, one mile away, there is also a lively community, with a chemist, a doctors’ surgery, two shops, a primary school, YMCA, library, ‘The Seven Stars’ pub, a renowned fish and chip shop ‘Our Plaice’, ‘Connie’s Tea Room’, and an active village hall, Conygre Hall. Cricket and football teams, indoor bowls, snooker and a tennis court are also on offer. ‘Vale House Kitchen’ is 110 yards away, a bespoke country skills and cookery school, and ‘The Pig’ country house hotel and restaurant is 3.5 miles away. The King William in Tunley, 2.6 miles away, is an excellent local pub. The centre of Bristol is 12.3 miles away and it is 8 miles to the centre of Bath. M4 Junction 18 is approximately 17 miles away.”

“This lovely spacious house with stunning country views, yet so accessible for village and city life has been brilliant for our family.”
