Hassage, Faulkland, Bath, Somerset, BA3

A delightful five/six bedroom family house with a beautiful garden and far reaching views, in the picturesque hamlet of Hassage, south of Bath.

Description

Occupying an elevated position and approximately ten miles from the historic city of Bath, Hassage House is an outstanding family home offering commanding views across unspoiled valleys and the gently rolling Somerset countryside.

Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the property is approached via a gated entrance and a picturesque driveway that winds past the gardens to a generous parking and turning area adjacent to the main house.

Constructed in attractive honey-coloured random stone beneath a slate roof with dressed stone window surrounds, the property exudes traditional charm and architectural interest. A self-contained wing with garaging below enhances both the versatility and appeal of this beautiful family house.

Approaching the house from the garden side, an attractive path leads across a stone terrace which provides a tranquil setting for outdoor entertaining, leading on to the lawned gardens. The conservatory and dual access points from the house to the terrace provide a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living.

The large entrance hall is flanked by the drawing room, which leads to a conservatory with views over the garden and surrounding countryside, and a formal dining room, both of which benefit from beamed ceilings. There are open fireplaces with wood-burning stoves in the drawing room and hall, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The heart of the home is a spacious family kitchen and breakfast room, complete with stone flooring, granite work surfaces, an Aga, and an array of bespoke cabinetry. This space adjoins a second conservatory complete with underfloor heating and a well-appointed utility room offering extensive storage, further appliance space, and access to a ground floor shower room and the garaging.

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite, a generous guest suite, and a third bedroom currently serving as a study. A modern family bathroom and a large airing cupboard complete the accommodation on this level. The second floor offers a fourth bedroom along with a versatile room ideal for use as an office, playroom or spare bedroom.

The annexe, positioned on the first floor to the northeast, is accessible via a secondary staircase from the utility room or from its own external entrance, enabling versatile use either as part of the main house, or as a self-contained unit.

Garden and Grounds

The gardens and grounds are beautifully landscaped and are a true highlight of Hassage House. Lawned garden and mature herbaceous borders give way to a more informal, parkland-style area with specimen trees, a tranquil rain-fed pond, and a charming wild area with a spring-fed stream.

A large garden shed and green house are positioned to the bottom of the garden, both with an electricity supply, with the shed providing excellent potential for conversion to a home office or summer house (subject to obtaining the necessary permissions).

The backdrop of the garden is the far-reaching views of rolling countryside, providing a peaceful and private setting for this beautiful family home.
