Located approximately four miles west of the World Heritage city of Bath and within the village of Corston, sits this impressive, attached Edwardian House with Georgian origins and stunning landscaped gardens. The current vendors' believe that, early in the 20th century, the estate was acquired by a member of the W.D. & H.O. Wills (tobacco company) family who extended and remodelled the property under architect supervision to become the beautiful Italianate villa it is today. Subsequently divided into two large properties with an adjoining smaller house, it is partly stone built with areas of rough cast rendered painted finish.

Sitting in about an acre of land, the property is elevated yet tucked away, enjoying magnificent far reaching valley views and a high degree of privacy. Laid out over two floors, it plays host to generously sized and comfortable rooms including a striking entrance hall, galleried landing and library, two kitchens, a dining room, drawing room, four bedrooms and several bathrooms, two of which are ensuite.

The interior strikes the perfect balance between period and modern living, with many original features. Outside one is transported to Italy by romantic formal gardens boasting an ornamental pond, a stone-built pavilion, well stocked flower beds and a wide selection of shrubs and trees. The park like grounds include an ample driveway for numerous vehicles, accessed beneath an imposing stone-built archway.

Nearby Marksbury and Saltford have excellent primary schools, whilst Bath has a wealth of independent schools. Bath Spa University is just a short walk away, with the UK leading University of Bath in the city with its renowned sports facilities. The commercial city of Bristol is around 30-minutes by car, while Bristol Airport takes 40-minutes. Travel to London Paddington from Bath Spa station by train takes 90 minutes. Corston has a village shop and post office and an excellent village hall offering social activities.

‘The property is impeccable. The large ground floor kitchen has bespoke timber cabinets, which we have recently had repainted, with an extensive granite worktop and a porcelain tiled floor. We have also installed a new kitchen in the large first-floor sitting room, which could be used as an annexe.’

‘Previous owners of Temple Court include the television presenter Lesley Crowther together with his delightful wife Jean, who hosted many village events and parties which were attended by the likes of The Two Ronnies.’

‘The village has a good sense of community and was very welcoming when we moved in – our neighbours immediately making us feel at home.’

‘Our home has been a wonderful retreat as well as a venue for our social events and family gatherings.’
