A superb detached stone built farmhouse offering versatile living accommodation. A major feature of the house is the stunning open plan kitchen completed just a year ago.

Measuring 32’4, this spacious room with a tall, vaulted ceiling is perfect for family living and entertaining. There is plenty of room for a dining and sitting area, with bi-fold doors opening directly to the garden and orchard. There is an additional reception room with a stone fireplace and wood burning stove and double doors that open out to an enclosed garden. There are two further rooms on this floor, one used as the fifth bedroom and the other a TV room. A practical utility room and cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor. On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom has far-reaching views across the hills plus an en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom serves the additional three bedrooms, all have built-in wardrobes.

Outside

Outbuildings: To the front is an L-shape stone outbuilding, currently used as stabling, storage and a workshop. This has planning permission to create an annexe, great for guests or those wishing to work from home. There are a series of additional outbuildings around the house that offer extensive log and machinery storage.

Garden: Located along a country lane, the driveway leads to the front of the house and the parking area which are set back off the road. There is a separate track leading down to the stables where there is ample parking for horseboxes and trailers. The pretty front garden leads round to an enclosed side garden providing a pleasant aspect from the sitting room. The principal garden has an open aspect across the orchard, barbecue area with a view over the land and neighbouring paddocks. With bi-fold doors opening from the open plan kitchen, this area is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

Stable Yard and Paddocks: The land covers approximately 19 acres with fenced paddocks as well as a wooded dell and fields for hay. The yard is nestled in a private and secluded position and benefits from a driveway leading to the parking area which provides ample turning space for both horse boxes and trailers. The access track continues down to the stable yard, school and then onto the fields beyond. The stable block is a well-constructed American barn. There are large double doors to the side which open directly onto an enclosed concrete yard, an ideal secure area for tying up and wash downs. The barn offers 11 large boxes with block partitions, a large tack room with a further secure room and storage space upstairs. Adjacent is an all-weather school, enclosed by post and rail fencing. This flood lit school measures approximately 20m x 40m and has a sand and rubber surface. Just behind the stable block is a useful large pole-built hay barn. The land is well cared for with wonderful views over the Somerset countryside and there are some lovely, sheltered paddocks, surrounded by mature mixed woodland, together with some more open paddocks that have been cut for hay and also used for grazing. Throughout the site there are tracks with a solid base meaning that access to all the grazing and the hay barn is straight forward all year round. There are a couple of wooded areas that consist of mixed deciduous trees and are a haven for wildlife.

Situation

Radford Hill is located in an elevated position on the edge of the village of Timsbury just seven and a half miles from Bath Spa Railway Station. The village is surrounded by wonderful countryside with rolling hills and picturesque valleys. This active village has a well-regarded Church of England primary school, a village shop, doctors’ surgery plus a country pub and a tearoom. The village is well placed for commuting with access to both Bath and Bristol via the A37. The south of Bath is often sought after due to the number of excellent schools nearby including on the southern slopes of Bath, Beechen Cliff, Hayesfield, and Ralph Allen. In the private sector there is a choice of Prior Park College, King Edwards, and Monkton Combe. The University of Bath is also to the south of Bath. As well as the fine restaurants that Bath offers, the private members club, Babington House and the popular hotel, The Pig are both located in villages to the south of Bath.
