Charlcombe, Bath, Somerset BA1

View Point Farm is an attractive detached family home in a unique setting with exceptional countryside views. Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of Bath and its amenities.

Built from Bath stone, the house has been extended over the years to include additional living spaces, most recently in 2022 with the addition of a new kitchen/dining/living room. Inside the front porch, a bright and welcoming hallway opens to a study on the left, its window with views across the expansive front garden.

To the right of the hall are double doors into a sitting room that stretches the depth of the house, enjoying views to both the front and rear (French doors open to the rear garden). A few steps connect this room to the kitchen/dining/living room. This stunning space, designed to maximise both views and privacy, has neutral ceramic Mandarin Stone tile flooring (with underfloor heating), while the kitchen has Caesarstone worktops, built-in Siemens appliances and a larder-style cupboard. A central island houses the sink, breakfast bar, drinks fridge and additional storage.

From the dining/living room, glazed doors open to front and rear terraces, extending the living space and making the most of the peaceful setting. On the other side of the hallway are two family bathrooms, while along the corridor is a utility/boot room with its own access from the front and access to the cellars below.

Beyond this is another living space, converted from the original barn, with a high, sloped ceiling and exposed wooden beams, offering flexible accommodation. Back in to the stairs, a WC is on the half-landing. The first floor provides four good-sized bedrooms, all with rural views and built-in storage, together with a family bathroom.

At the front, the house is approached through iron gates, along a driveway that curves left to a parking area in front of the garages and behind hedging. The expansive front garden is predominantly laid to lawn. Hornbeam hedging frames the stone walls, while stock fencing marks the remaining boundaries, helping to keep pets secure. There are plum and apple trees throughout the garden, while Nepeta and lavender frame the paved areas close to the house and the large dining terrace.

There are three outbuildings: two storage rooms/garages to the front, and a barn at the rear. The rear garden is mostly lawn, with a paved sun terrace in one corner and stock fencing at the boundary. It enjoys wonderful open views across the valley. It is hard to believe that city life is so close.
