Combe Hay, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Rowley Cottage is an attractive detached family home occupying a wonderfully private position in the sought-after village of Combe Hay, surrounded by beautiful countryside yet within easy reach of Bath.

Built in local stone in the early 1990s on the site of a former farm building, the property was thoughtfully designed to complement its village surroundings. A retained wall dated 1867 adds an appealing link to the site’s history, while the house itself offers the proportions, light and practicality of a more modern family home.

Extending to approximately 2,195 sq ft of house accommodation, the property is generously arranged over two floors and is particularly well suited to both everyday family life and entertaining.

At the heart of the house is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room - a sociable space with ample room for cooking, informal dining and relaxing. Natural light and views towards the garden create an immediate connection with the outside, while an adjoining utility room provides valuable practical space.
A separate sitting room provides a more formal reception space and leads through to the garden room, where extensive glazing makes the most of the outlook over the gardens and surrounding valley. Together, the reception rooms give the house a flexible feel, with space for family life, entertaining, home working or simply somewhere quiet to retreat.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms served by two bathrooms. The generous bedroom accommodation and built-in storage make the house particularly practical for families, while the elevated position allows several rooms to enjoy attractive countryside views.

The gardens are one of Rowley Cottage’s defining features. Extending to approximately 0.25 acres, they are arranged over a series of attractive levels and enjoy a predominantly south-facing aspect. Lawns, established planting, terraces and mature boundaries create excellent entertaining space and a strong sense of privacy.

From the house and garden there are beautiful views across the surrounding valley and countryside, giving the property a genuinely rural atmosphere. The terraces immediately adjoining the house provide an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, while the larger lawned areas offer plenty of space for children, gardening or simply enjoying the outlook.

A double garage and driveway parking complete the practical accommodation.
Combe Hay is an attractive village on the southern side of Bath, surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a peaceful rural character. Bath offers an outstanding range of restaurants, shops, cultural attractions, leisure facilities, schools and mainline rail services.
