Setting the scene

Tucked away in the historic village of Claverton, The Dolls House enjoys a peaceful setting at the head of the Limpley Stoke Valley, approximately four miles east of Bath. Mellow Bath stone cottages, rolling countryside and walks from the doorstep give the village its distinctive charm.

For all its rural appeal, Claverton is well placed for the University of Bath, Bath Golf Club, the American Museum and Gardens, local schools and the city centre. Bath offers an excellent choice of shops, restaurants, theatres and leisure facilities, while trains from Bath Spa reach London Paddington in approximately 90 minutes.

The Property

The Dolls House is an enchanting Grade II listed cottage with a warmth and character that is apparent as soon as you step inside. It has been comprehensively and sympathetically renovated, including a new roof, to preserve its historic features while providing the comforts of modern living.

Exposed beams, original fireplaces and restored stone mullion windows sit alongside underfloor heating, a new boiler, a beautifully finished kitchen and a stylish shower room. Large format porcelain floor tiles bring a calm, seamless feel to the ground floor, while soft, durable carpeting adds comfort to the two generously sized double bedrooms upstairs.

The new kitchen combines classic shaker cabinetry with Silestone quartz worktops and includes an electric hob, oven, under-counter fridge-freezer and washing machine.

A charming home in an exceptional village setting, The Dolls House offers a lovely balance of country living and easy access to Bath.
