Langridge Lane, Langridge, Bath, Somerset, BA1

An exceptional family home on the edge of Bath enjoying panoramic country views.

Description

This striking former schoolhouse has had the benefit of a complete rebuild in 2015, seamlessly blending the charm of its period origins with the space, light, and style of contemporary living. Set in a semi-rural location, the home enjoys breath taking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, offering the best of both worlds in terms of character and comfort.

Constructed in attractive natural stone and arranged over four floors, the property boasts about 3,300 sq ft of versatile accommodation. Many of the principal rooms are positioned to take full advantage of the stunning valley setting and far-reaching rural vistas. Designed to harmonise with its hillside location, the home features level access from the driveway and easy access from the garden level into beautifully landscaped, tiered rear gardens.

The property can be entered via the main front entrance hall, with stairs leading to the upper floors, or through a convenient side entrance from the driveway. A spacious sitting room features a wood-burning stove, exposed oak beams, and a striking oak-framed glazed window that beautifully frames picturesque countryside views. The welcoming kitchen/breakfast room is equally generous in size, offering panoramic views and ample space for family gatherings. It is fitted with high-quality units, granite worktops, integrated appliances, a large island with breakfast bar, and a practical tiled floor. Additionally, the ground floor includes a utility room, a cloak/shower room, a family/playroom, and Bedroom 5, which comes complete with an en suite shower room.

On the lower ground floor/garden level, there are two spacious rooms currently used as a gym and a home office/cinema room, with easy access to the gardens. The first floor offers two double bedrooms, both with far-reaching country views, served by a stylish family bath/shower room. Stairs lead up to the second floor, which comprises the principal bedroom suite offering ample storage options, a further quality en suite shower room, and an additional double bedroom—both enjoying far-reaching country views from the pretty dormer windows.

As a result of its new construction, the property comes with the benefits of modern insulation, underfloor heating to nearly all rooms and enhanced with solar PV and a storage battery.

Outside

Approached via a quiet country lane, the property is fronted by a low stone wall that doubles as a planter. A paved path leads to the front door, while a splayed entrance with handsome wooden double gates opens to a spacious driveway with an EV charging point. The private, enclosed rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and has been thoughtfully landscaped to include a terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining and soaking in the countryside views, a kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds, a lawned area with flower borders, space for a shed and greenhouse, and a charming low stone wall that enhances the garden’s character while framing the idyllic scenery beyond.

Location
