High Street, Freshford, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Positioned in the centre of the beautiful village of Freshford, this Grade II listed, double-fronted, end-of-terrace Regency house commands attention. A handsome building constructed of honey-coloured local Bath stone, it showcases period features both inside and out, and has been tastefully updated to offer maximum modern comfort without compromising its character. A beautiful Mediterranean-style roof garden, sheltered and warm in spring, summer, and autumn, sits to the rear. The owner of twenty years says, ‘being an artist, I particularly love the Georgian architecture, high ceilings, large windows, and the great amount of natural light which floods into the house. The views of the valley down to the river and across to St. Peter's church are also a highlight.’ She adds, ‘the house has such a calm and peaceful feeling.’ Nestled within the Avon Valley, a conservation area and part of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the location offers great natural beauty along with convenience. Situated between Bath and Bradford-on-Avon, Freshford has its own train station with regular services to Bath, Bristol, and Weymouth and the Dorset coast. Just a thirteen-minute train journey to Bath Spa connects one with direct services to London Paddington, a journey taking under eighty minutes. Boasting an excellent primary school and good amenities, including a community shop and café, Homewood Hotel & Spa, and a thriving tennis club, the village is hugely attractive to all. ‘Families are often drawn by the excellent primary school and other nearby education options – both state and independent – for all ages, and the wonderful sense of community within the village.’

‘We get glorious views of big, ever-changing skies from the house – in summer hot air balloons fly overhead and during August swallows swoop over the roof garden.’

‘It’s a house where we have always felt really safe and at home, in part because it’s right in the heart of the village.’

‘We designed the kitchen with calm shaker colours and simple elegant furniture to give a sense of ease; this has been a favourite space for entertaining and making memories.’

‘The upstairs sitting room is very peaceful and the garden room study has the most beautiful light.’

‘During the colder months, there is also nothing quite like an evening by the log fire with a glass of wine and a good book.’

‘We have great neighbours who are always willing to help out.’
