Priston, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Tucked away in a tranquil part of the enchanting village of Priston, just a short drive from the vibrant cities of Bath and Bristol, this modern conversion sits detached with gardens to the front and rear. A converted outbuilding, originally part of the next-door property, this lovely country home is laid out over two floors, offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room, separate utility, and a good-sized kitchen/diner. Boasting a fully enclosed level rear garden and patios to both the front and back, the outside space offers all-day sunshine and delightful countryside views. An idyllic place to call home, it offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. ‘The property previously was an outbuilding to my home, Bramble Barn. It was built in the mid-1990s by a previous owner and converted in my ownership. In 2021, I acquired the additional land behind, providing a rear garden,’ says the owner. The Roost sits in a quiet location off a no-through road yet is central to Priston, a village with a great sense of community. ‘Although a peaceful and private place to live, there is always lots going on. The village hall is well-used, from clubs to a Saturday café run by a group of volunteers, and the Ring O’Bells pub serves excellent food and is a very social place. Priston is also extremely fortunate to be home to a beautiful and historic 12th-century church, the doors of which are open every day. Also, there is a popular village cricket club which attracts all ages of both supporters and players.’

‘The light and spacious kitchen/dining area has proved to be an ideal party space, with the island being the perfect place for people to gather around for a drinks party.’

‘The house is economical to run, largely due to excellent insulation, and easy to maintain. It’s an ideal lock-up-and-leave property.’

‘It’s a lovely neighbourhood to live in, with everyone willing to help out. The whole village is friendly, and we all keep an eye out for each other.’

‘The views from the back garden are particularly beautiful, and the evening sun often produces the most spectacular sunsets.’

‘There is very little light pollution in Priston, so we enjoy the most fantastic night skies; if the Velux blinds are left open at night, one can lie in bed and look at the stars, it’s magical.’
