Blacksmiths Lane, Kelston, BA1

Nestled between Bath and Bristol in the charming village of Kelston within the Cotswold National Landscape, this beautifully extended 1954 detached home offers three bedrooms and expansive south-facing gardens, providing both space and exceptional privacy. Positioned near the iconic Kelston Round Hill, a landmark visible for miles, and the southern point of The Cotswold Way, the home enjoys a peaceful rural setting with a strong sense of community. ‘Having lived here for 33 years, I can truly say this home offers a peaceful outlook, a healthy country lifestyle, and the perfect setting to create countless happy memories,’ says the owner. Adding to the village’s charm is The Old Crown Inn, a historic 17th-century coaching inn, and the renowned Bath Soft Cheese Café & Shop, where award-winning cheeses are handcrafted using milk from local herds. The River Avon and Kennet & Avon Canal are also nearby, offering scenic waterways and marinas at Saltford and Newbridge. Additionally, Bath Spa University and the Royal United Hospital are within easy reach. In just minutes, you can be on the M4 heading to London or Wales, the M5 for the South Coast, Midlands, or North, or even further afield via Bristol Airport, just half an hour away. Kelston offers effortless access to both town and country.
Spread over two floors, the home offers a spacious ground floor with a larger footprint than upstairs. It features a well-appointed kitchen, dining room, three reception rooms, a study (or optional fourth bedroom), a utility room, a shower room and a bright conservatory perfect for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. ‘With most rooms facing south, the outlook is wonderfully bright and inviting. It's also highly energy-efficient, featuring solar panels, double glazing, cavity wall insulation, and underfloor heating in both bathrooms,’ explains the owner. A single garage, carport and workshop adds both convenience and appeal.

‘The delightful garden features apple trees, vibrant shrubs, roses, and climbing plants. There’s also space to grow your own vegetables if desired. It’s the perfect place for enjoying sunsets and al fresco supper.’

‘It’s great to be able to just walk across a field path to St Nicholas church or the super village hall which hosts many events, classes and celebrations. I can also walk from my gate straight up to the Round Hill, where one can take in far reaching views across Bristol, Bath and beyond.’

‘For travel, nearby Newbridge offers a convenient Park & Ride service into the city, and an hourly bus provides direct access to Bath.’
