Description
Leading from the entrance hall the ground floor comprises four beautiful reception rooms; a south-facing drawing room with direct access to the garden terrace, a morning room, an impressive dining room with bespoke Breccia Medicea marble fireplace by Jamb, and a garden room complete with a secret kitchen/bar accessed behind sliding book cabinets and full height French doors to the west courtyard dining area.
The blue lias flagstone Tudor basement has undergone an extensive and sympathetic renovation which today provides underfloor heating throughout. The superb kitchen with its huge working stone fireplace and vintage Electrikit AGA, are complemented by a pantry, larder, stone-vaulted dining room, utility room, cloakroom, wine cellar and plant room. The hand-built, bespoke cabinetry throughout is solid tulip wood with limed oak interiors, while appliances are all either Miele or Neff.
The attention to detail continues on the first floor, where all rooms are panelled, providing a principal bedroom with en suite WC, two dressing rooms/bedrooms, a dual aspect bathroom and adjoining shower room. The second floor's stylish guest accommodation features three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite).
The immaculate gardens and grounds at Batheaston House have been thoughtfully designed to complement the house perfectly. Hidden behind a 4m dressed stone wall the north courtyard with fountain and elevated Bay hedge adjoins the Yew spiral topiary of the west courtyard, while the house's wide stone south terrace is ideal for entertaining, with its charming stone orangery, wonderful views across the rural landscape and stone steps leading down to the garden.
There is impeccable planting throughout, rich and colourful borders, many mature specimen trees, abundant topiary and a large lawn. The bay-hedged kitchen/cut flower garden features raised borders and a bespoke Alitex greenhouse as well as a large custom-built potting shed. Benefitting from Riparian rights and a river water pump, elsewhere the gardens also contain a workshop, ice-house, log store, shed and undercroft, as well as tanks containing 15,000L of stored rainwater connected to the two onsite wells.
The coach house is situated next to the private cobbled parking area within the main electric gates, and provides garaging and a one bedroom annexe/ home office on the first floor.
In all approximately 1.15 acres.
