Description

Orchard View is a stunning contemporary six bedroom house, built from green oak sourced from the Duke of Somerset, Frome. Situated on the edge of Bath it has all of the benefits of living in the World Heritage city while overlooking beautiful countryside.

The property is a spacious family home with a separate self-contained annex, perfect for family, visitors, a home office, gym or work space. The annex currently has one bedroom due to our clients removing a wall. This could be reinstated to create two bedrooms.

The property is entered into a spacious entrance hall with stairs rising to the upper and lower floors. There is a useful cloakroom off the hallway. To the rear of the property is a fantastic kitchen/dining room with three sets of bi-fold doors out to the garden. The bespoke kitchen is by Plain English with two Miele ovens with warming drawer under. There is a useful utility room off with further access to the garden. There are two main reception rooms on this floor both with wood burners and could be arranged for whatever a buyer needs.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms with access to a superb balcony/terrace with views over the extensive gardens. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room with dressing area. There is a further family bathroom.

On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a shower room.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens and grounds of Orchard view are of particular note and extend to around 1.5 acres. A real rarity in a location such as this.

The property is entered down a drive into an extensive parking area with double garage. There is vehicular access to the gardens around the side of the property and some useful outbuildings to store machinery.

With access from the ground floor is a fantastic terrace with a range of areas to sit and enjoy the tranquil nature of the setting. There is a stunning wisteria covering the rear of the house. The rest of the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a range of trees and shrubs.
