A historic and beautifully refurbished Grade II* listed Manor House, with grounds of about 1.5 acres, situated in one of the most desirable villages near Bath
Description
Set in the heart of the highly desirable and picturesque village of Wellow. The Manor House is an outstanding family house of significant historical interest, presented to an impeccable standard. This exquisite Grade II* listed property provides period elegance with contemporary living, offering attractive interiors, superb amenities, and beautifully landscaped grounds.
Dating back to the 14th century, this historic home retains a wealth of original character, including grand stone inglenook fireplaces, intricately carved wood panelling, stone mullioned windows, and exposed oak beams. The house has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts such as a Nest heating system and Lutron lighting, subtly enhancing its charm for modern life.
The accommodation is spacious and versatile, ideal for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen is positioned at the centre of the house and provides the ideal fulcrum for family living. The generous reception rooms include a formal drawing room, morning room, sitting room, and a large living room, which all lead from the kitchen. These rooms all enjoy excellent proportions and each provide their own atmosphere and views of the garden or village.
The bedrooms are all well-proportioned, providing pretty views of Wellow and the surrounding countryside, and are served by a balanced mix of shower rooms and bathroom. The property is arranged around two staircases, making the layout practical and adaptable for multi-generational living. The top floor offers two interesting rooms, currently utilised as offices, alongside a kitchenette; ideal for working from home.
Garden & Grounds
The grounds are exceptional in both scale and privacy for a village setting, featuring an enclosed walled garden to the west of the house, with mature planting and a colourful backdrop throughout the seasons.
The house is approached from the parking area via a charming courtyard which also offers an idyllic spot for al fresco dining, while the extensive outbuildings include useful stores, stables, and a traditional thatched dovecote. A beautifully converted coach house now hosts an indoor exercise swimming pool with adjoining sauna.
The gravel driveway is situated at the rear of the property leading to a carport and ample off-road parking. From here, a generous paddock is accessed offering further potential and space, and a former piggery outbuilding ( potential stables).
Location
Wellow is a thriving village in some of the area's most picturesque surroundings, with a general store, excellent pub, tennis club, Bath to Bristol cycle network and a village school.
