7 Bedroom Detached for sale

Property description

Stunning detached home with panoramic views across Bath, offering a total of approx. 4074 sq. ft. including detached annex and double garage in desirable Englishcombe Lane. Comprises seven bedrooms, three en suite, two additional bathrooms, kitchen/breakfast room opening on to garden and parking.This lovely family home occupies a superb location, a 1.3 mile walk from the centre of Bath, and the elevated position boasts spectacular views right the way across the city and the rolling countryside beyond. “Given our proximity to the city centre, our immediate location is really very quiet and the views are magnificent,” says the owner. “We’re not right in the hustle and bustle of things, but we still benefit from all that Bath has to offer.”The owner says: “Before building this house in 2008, we were living just next door. We had a large section of our garden that was barely ever used and so we decided to apply for planning permission to build two semi-detached properties. However during the build I decided that I quite fancied a career change and so we decided to leave out some of the internal walls to create one large family home from which I could run a B&B, and it has been a thriving business for the past eight years.”“Externally the house looks like one big family home, that was a stipulation of the planning; but internally there is still the possibility to divide it easily into two, should the new owners so desire. It’s a very spacious home with a nice flow from room to room, and for the purposes of the B&B it works incredibly well because at the moment the guests have one side of the house and we have the other, so family life is not disrupted in the slightest.”“The kitchen is definitely the hub of the house. It’s a lovely big family space that’s large enough to take a sofa, and the French doors create a really nice connection with the garden when the weather is warm.”“I loved my garden at our previous home,” she continues, “but this one has turned out to be even nicer, which I didn’t expect. French doors from the kitchen lead out onto a huge patio terrace, then steps lead to a generous lawn and more steps go to another patio just in front of the annex. It’s a really pretty space and one that has a nice feeling of privacy. And to the front of the house we took down a high hedge, which has revealed the most spectacular view. ”“At the top of the garden is The Grain Store which is a building that was my husband’s home office, but which has since been converted into an annex that we use as a self-catering holiday let. It’s a lovely building and I’d say that the possibilities for its use are endless.” “We feel it’s time for a change now, but we have thoroughly enjoyed our time living here,” says Catherine. “Despite being a large house, it’s comfortable and cosy, and the location has been ideal. It’s a fabulous family home that has also enabled me to run a thriving business.”
