High Street, Bathford, Somerset, BA1

The Font House is a sympathetically restored and modernised 3-bedroom Georgian house in the popular village of Bathford. Careful attention to detail has enhanced and future-proofed this charming period property.

The front door has an elegant Bathstone portico leading into the hall. The sitting room has a 'Jetmaster' open fire set into a Bath stone hearth with fitted cupboards to either side and an original detailed plaster cornice.

The dining room is open-plan with an engineered oak floor running through to the kitchen. The hand-built kitchen has a 5-burner Rangemaster oven with stone worktops and generous cupboard storage. The appliances are integrated with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a washing machine.

The heating throughout the ground floor is a wet underfloor heating system with separate zoned controls running off a gas boiler not wasting wall space with radiators. Bedroom 3 can be found on this floor which has multiple uses as a bedroom, snug, office or playroom there is a shower room conveniently nearby.

There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, both generous in size, master en-suite.

One of the outstanding features of The Font House is the garden. Wrapping around the property, it is a real gardeners' paradise and faces south-west. There are several apple trees, both cookers and eaters, some elegant roses, and a raised beds. The mature borders have a variety of annuals and perennials with an abundance of colour and scents throughout the seasons. Tucked away at the top of the garden is a home office/studio which is heated, insulated, and powered with an internet connection providing a peaceful thinking space away from the house.
