Priston, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Poppies sits quietly tucked away in the heart of Priston – a beautiful village of just 250 residents, full of character, community spirit, and only four miles from the World Heritage City of Bath. Originally built in 1960 as a rectory, this detached home occupies a central position within its gardens, offering privacy, space, and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Priston itself is a thriving village with a welcoming church, pub, cricket club, Saturday café, and a lively programme of events. There’s the annual duck race, a village social, and the Priston Festival, a mini Glastonbury, with music, dance, poetry and art. It’s such a fun and inclusive community.

Arranged over two floors, the house provides four bedrooms – one ensuite – and generous, light-filled living spaces. There is a Rapid response Rayburn in the hand-built kitchen which provides heating and hot water at the flick of a switch as well as two hob plates and two ovens. There are also a Neff pyrolytic oven and induction hob separate from the Rayburn. The utility room provides ample storage and a large pantry as well as space for washing machine and dishwasher.

The sitting room has a Clearview multifuel stove with a beautiful hardwood block floor [original] and is triple aspect with three windows and French doors.

A detached outbuilding currently serves as a sewing studio with laundry and cloakroom, alongside a large garage and ample parking at the top of the sweeping curved drive. The garden at the top of the drive includes a private gated grass lane leading to the church.

The grounds are exceptional with an almost one acre plot, which is south-facing and beautiful planted. The garden and terrace connect seamlessly with the house, creating a natural flow for family gatherings and celebrations.

There is a large open potting shed with stained glass windows and chandeliers, a closed shed behind the potting shed and a greenhouse with electricity and water while a summerhouse at the other end of the garden provides another place to escape.

The garden is completely private only accessible from the drive by car and the church lane by foot. As the garden is south facing with the sun travelling around the house from the summerhouse in the east and the sewing studio in the west it is perfect for entertaining.
