Description
Description
Columbus House is an impressive, detached period residence set within approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds. Originally constructed in 1876 for a Royal Navy Commander and later home to Patrick Vans Agnew, the property was sympathetically extended by Future Heritage in 1999, successfully preserving the elegance, grandeur and architectural character of this distinguished historic building.
The apartment is accessed at first-floor level, opening into a welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the second-floor landing with study area and access to the private roof terrace. The well-balanced accommodation comprises a generous dual aspect 24-foot sitting room with an impressive bay window framing the surrounding views, a well-appointed kitchen, and two substantial double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite bath or shower facilities.
The mature communal gardens are a particular feature, originally landscaped by a former owner of the house and now providing an attractive mix of established trees, flowering shrubs and areas of wildflower planting. The property further benefits from dedicated off-street parking.
Location
Perfectly positioned on the eastern fringes of Bath, Trossachs Drive enjoys an enviable setting within the highly sought-after village of Bathampton, combining the tranquillity of a picturesque riverside community with exceptional access to the city centre. Nestled alongside the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal and River Avon, the area offers a quintessential Bath lifestyle, where scenic waterside walks, cycle routes and open countryside are quite literally on the doorstep.
Bathampton is renowned for its village atmosphere and strong sense of community, with a range of everyday amenities including a village store, pharmacy, local primary school and welcoming public houses. The renowned Bathampton Mill and the historic George Inn provide popular destinations for relaxed dining and socialising, both set within idyllic canal-side surroundings.
For those seeking an active lifestyle, the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath offers miles of walking, running and cycling routes connecting Bath to the surrounding countryside, while nearby Bathampton Meadows provides further opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The University of Bath, excellent independent and state schooling, and a wealth of cultural and leisure facilities are all within easy reach.
Despite its peaceful village setting, Bathampton remains exceptionally well connected. Bath Spa Railway Station is approximately 2 miles away, offering direct services to London Paddington in around 75 minutes, making Trossachs Drive particularly appealing for commuters seeking a balance between city accessibility and countryside living. Regular bus services operate nearby, whilst the A4 provides convenient road links to Bristol and the wider region.
