Green Acres, a charming and spacious family home, is a true oasis for relaxation and entertainment surrounded by stunning gardens in the serene and peaceful locale of Shoscombe Vale.

Situated at the end of a private lane, just six miles south of the picturesque UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, the property offers easy access to urban attractions, excellent schools, Babington House (a Soho House members club), vibrant Somerset towns like Frome and Bruton, and Bristol Airport. It's an idyllic rural retreat that never feels isolated. The house boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including one en-suite. Additionally, it features a dedicated home cinema/games room, a heated swimming pool, spacious outdoor dining areas, and a generous dining/reception room, perfect for hosting guests and embracing a leisurely lifestyle. With flexible accommodation, there is the option to create an annexe with it’s own separate entrance. This could be useful as secondary accommodation or for income potential.

The property's irresistible allure captured the hearts of its current owners with an array of features from the unparalleled private location and serene atmosphere to the enchanting symphony of birdsong and the awe-inspiring entrance. ‘You'll be captivated by breathtaking views across the valley, while the open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge area welcomes abundant natural light and sweeping vistas in three directions, bathing the rooms in daylight throughout the day.’ They add, ‘living here feels akin to residing in a luxury five-star resort, with the pleasure of swimming under the stars in the outdoor pool, savouring sumptuous feasts in the various dining areas, and picking fresh fruits and herbs, contributing to an impeccable environment for physical and mental well-being.’

In summary, Green Acres is a timeless retreat where modern comfort, tranquillity and convenience meet, offering an extraordinary lifestyle in a truly beautiful and serene setting.

‘The spectacular garden is thoughtfully designed with separate areas for socialising, relaxing, swimming, playing boules and ping pong. In the enchanting flower garden, there’s a delightful array of fragrant blooms from the many species of roses, lilies, and lavender - a sensory delight that's simply unforgettable.’

‘For utmost privacy, the secluded swimming pool area is screened by lush bushes and offers built-in seating, making it an ideal spot for poolside cocktails on hot summer days and enjoyable BBQ evenings.’

‘The village exudes a strong sense of community spirit centred around the well-regarded village primary school and the sociable Village Hall.’

‘Moreover, the area provides access to good local state schools, as well as several top-rated independent schools in Bath, including Kingswood, King Edwards, Prior Park College, Monkton Combe and Royal High.’
