5 bedroom detached house for sale

Tucked away in a conservation area at the intersection of Morris Lane and Shockerwick Lane on the eastern edge of Bath you'll find Beech House, a delightful period home that dates back to 1932. This charming home boasts a plethora of original features along with a later extension. Spanning two floors, the first floor encompasses five generously sized double bedrooms, including one en suite, accompanied by a family bathroom and a further wet room. Downstairs, the ample space offers the perfect setting for hosting gatherings. Nestled within a spacious, south-facing, and secluded wrap-around garden, Beech House also features a large terrace, a garden office, a double garage, and a small driveway. The property shares its borders with two other detached properties and a vineyard, creating a truly unique setting. Overlooking the village of Bathford, Beech House occupies a prime location in the Bannerdown area which seamlessly connects with Batheaston. In this scenic spot, you'll find a wealth of local amenities and immediate countryside access while being close enough to Bath to enjoy the best of both worlds. The current owners have cherished this residence since 2001, noting, ‘It's a lovely family home both inside and out, offering abundant space for everyone. We've comfortably accommodated up to fourteen people overnight in the past.’ They add, ‘the sunny south-facing garden truly comes alive during the summer months – it’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy sundown cocktails.’ Architecturally reflective of its time of construction, the property underwent a significant enhancement in 2008 through an extension, an addition which further elevated this desirable home.

‘We were attracted to Beech House for its good size and quiet neighbourhood – being close to Bath and enjoying easy access to the M4 also makes it very convenient.’

‘Our favourite room is the large, comfortable sitting room – south-facing, we’ve found it to be an excellent all-year-round room.’

‘The area has a great mix of people, and we have a lovely elderly neighbour to one side and a young family to the other.’

‘There are three good primary schools within walking distance at Bathford, Batheaston and Bathampton. Regular bus services go to various secondary schools, and Bath and Chippenham.’

‘Batheaston is well served with shops, a pharmacy, medical centre, hairdresser, veterinary centre and a café.’

‘The Kennett & Avon Canal can be reached via a riverside walk in around half an hour. Here one can take a level walk to the centre of Bath.’
