Lower Stoke, Limpley Stoke, Bath BA2

This stunning, recently renovated detached family home is entered through an oak porch into a double height hallway with a staircase leading to the 1st floor and a doorway into the living room. Entering the living space you are greeted with a breathtaking view over the Limpley Stoke Valley through the expansive oak picture windows. 

A new Defra approved log burner serves as a focal point in an otherwise open space designed for flexible use. The living room connects, via oak stairs, to a generous dining room and kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, including fridge, freezer, convection hob, double oven and dishwasher. 
There is ample storage yet the space feels light and uncluttered. There is a small breakfast bar on the end of the walnut wooden worktop. The kitchen opens into the spacious dining room area. 

To the rear, adjacent to the back door is a useful sized utility with units that match the kitchen. All the floors and skirting on the ground floor are newly laid oak. 

The first floor has 4 double bedrooms, 3 very generously sized and 1 small double. The rear bedroom, currently the master, has lovely crittall style French doors that lead into the garden. The family bathroom is flooded with light from a skylight which offers a view of the stars whilst lying in the feature Laufen freestanding bathtub. The shower room is also elegantly appointed. The house benefits from an easily accessible, standing height, ample loft area. 

This house was renovated with efficiency and comfort in mind. The newly fitted Solar array and battery system offered the current owners a negligible electricity bill despite charging an electric car. Where possible all appliances are electric and purchased with efficiency in mind. The all new central heating system is gas, it too is highly efficient and married to a properly insulated and draft free renovation and controlled by a Hive system. All new doors and windows ensure minimum heat loss and the layout was designed to move heat effectively around the home. The house is extremely cheap to run.

Outside

To the front of the property is the driveway with ample parking for 4/5 cars, a small lawn area and established shrubs. The house sits on top of a very generous double garage that is currently used as a workshop, gym and storage area but could easily be developed and integrated into the house above. Steps on the right of the house lead to the front door and steps on the left lead to the rear of the property. Outside the back door is a patio area that leads into a level area of lawn perfect for entertaining and catching the evening sun. Steps lead up to a steep meadow area with a path leading up to another level lawn. Above this is an area of woodland that is mostly unmanaged and is teaming with wildlife. The whole garden is noticeably quiet, albeit punctuated with bird song. 

Situation

The property occupies an attractive elevated plot centrally located within the highly sought after village of Limpley Stoke on the edge of beautiful countryside. It is also within walking distance of a variety of amenities in Freshford (including an excellent primary school, village shop, cafe, church and pub). A further bonus is the picture perfect railway station, a five minute walk away which has direct regular services to Bath in 10 minutes and Bristol in 30. Less than a minute walk from the front door there is access to a delightful stretch of the river Avon, there is easy access into the water and countryside walks towards Bath or Bradford on Avon. The Kennet and Avon canal is also just over the road. 
The Village has a welcoming feel and is proud to have a recently opened, community funded, pub with a beautiful garden. There is also a church, village hall, garage and well looked after play park. 
The area is also well served by secondary schools, most connected by a funded bus that stops outside. These include the popular St Laurence, Ralph Allen and Beecham schools, King Edward’s, Prior Park, The Paragon and Monkton Combe just over the hill.
