4 bedroom detached house to rent

A truly exceptional and rarely available fully detached family home, Highlands is a beautiful four-bedroom house set just within South Stoke village, offering an outstanding combination of countryside living and city convenience. Surrounded by open fields and beautiful walking routes in every direction, yet just 2 miles from the centre of Bath, this is a home that perfectly suits families relocating to the area—particularly those drawn by Bath's excellent schools and lifestyle.

Set directly opposite open countryside, the property enjoys a rare, large, and completely flat garden, extending to over 1,500 sq metres—ideal for children, outdoor play, entertaining, and relaxed family life. Being fully detached, the house offers a wonderful sense of privacy and peace, with uninterrupted views and a quiet village setting that feels a world away from the city, while remaining exceptionally well connected. To find a house like this in Bath is extremely rare.

Inside, the house provides generous, light-filled accommodation with elegant proportions, high ceilings, and charming period features throughout. Two original fireplaces create warm and welcoming living spaces, while the well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests, or home working.

For commuters, the location is ideal. Bath city centre is just 2 miles away, while Bath Spa railway station offers fast connections to London, with journey times of approximately 1 hour 35 minutes to London Paddington.

South Stoke village itself is highly regarded for its scenic countryside walks, strong community feel, and excellent local amenities, including the much-loved gastro pub The Packhorse and a historic 12th-century church.

The property is offered part-furnished or unfurnished, at the tenant's preference, and benefits from off-street parking, a double garage and beautiful trees and shrubs surrounding.
