Winsley Hill, Limpley Stoke, Bath, Wiltshire, BA2

A stylish, modern, detached four bedroom home in secluded gardens

Description

Set discreetly into the hillside and enjoying glorious sunshine throughout the day, Limestone House is an exceptional contemporary country home built approximately twenty years ago to an exacting specification. Surrounded by extremely mature, beautifully stocked gardens, the property offers a rare combination of peaceful seclusion, generous living space and far reaching enjoyment of its natural setting.

Arranged laterally over just two floors, the house has an optimal layout and is presented with a strong emphasis on light and open spaces. The orientation has been carefully considered to maximise natural light, with principal rooms enjoying open, sun filled aspects over the gardens.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a beautifully proportioned space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. This flows naturally into a separate dining room, while the generous sitting room provides a calm and comfortable space with views over the surrounding garden. Practicality is well catered for with a utility room and excellent storage, alongside two flexible home office/study spaces, perfectly suited to modern working requirements.

The first floor offers four well proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are all generous sizes, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests alike.

Garden
Outside, Limestone House truly excels. The gardens are a standout feature: exceptionally mature, colourful and thoughtfully planted, creating a series of private, peaceful spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. Terraces, lawns and shaded areas offer options for both entertaining and quiet relaxation, with the hillside position delivering both privacy and sunlight in equal measure. Additional features include a carport, summer house, wood store and useful ancillary space.

Winsley Hill is one of the area’s most sought after locations, perfectly placed for access to Bath while enjoying the tranquillity of a semi rural village setting. Limestone House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high quality, thoughtfully designed home in a truly special position.

Location
