6 bedroom detached house for sale

The Old Rectory sits gracefully on the edge of Camerton, a charming and well-situated village on the south-western fringes of Bath, nestled in the heart of the scenic Cam Valley.

This striking six-bedroom Georgian home, set within lush grounds of just over an acre, offers a rare combination of period elegance and pastoral beauty. Once owned by nearby St Peter’s Church and located close to both its boundary and the grounds of Camerton Court, the property remains unlisted – retaining all the character and charm of its era without the constraints of listed status. ‘We’ve always loved this architectural period and were instantly drawn to the timeless beauty of the house,’ say the current owners. ‘With its large sash windows, soaring ceilings, peaceful gardens, and idyllic setting amidst rolling hills and picturesque villages, falling in love with it was effortless.’
Arranged over two beautifully light-filled floors, the house also benefits from a cellar – an ideal space for wine storage. The main living areas are situated on the ground floor, while the first floor offers versatile bedroom and bathroom accommodation to suit a variety of needs.
‘Since moving in around 18 months ago, we’ve been thoughtfully redecorating and enhancing the house however there’s still plenty of opportunity for the next owners to make their own mark.’ They add, ‘we hadn’t planned to move so soon, but with family now living overseas, the time has come. It’s been a difficult decision, as this home has brought us such joy.’ Outside, the garden – largely walled – has been lovingly transformed with the help of a local gardener, who worked closely with the owners to enhance its natural beauty. The result is a tranquil haven, featuring a large pond with a cascading waterfall, an elegant water fountain, sweeping lawns, and abundant mature planting. ‘The garden is a peaceful paradise,’ the owner’s remark.

‘The Old Rectory has two entrances, including a side access that leads to a double garage at the rear—now opening to a separate area with fruit trees and space for a vegetable garden.’

‘The house connects beautifully to the outdoors, not only through its glorious garden views but also via two original windows that open wide enough to walk through – a truly unique feature.’

‘We love how peaceful the valley is, yet how well connected we are. Bath is just 20 minutes away, and London Paddington just over an hour by train.’
