Property description

Grade II listed Victorian stone detached property located in the desirable village of Kelston. Comprises four bedrooms, en-suite bathroom and family bathroom, sitting room, family room, breakfast room, kitchen and barn and pleasant gardens overlooking fields.“Built of local stone in 1878, the house had been unlived in for nine months and required lots of attention,” say the owners. “However, we recognised its potential. The space combined with the location in this special village was perfect, and we moved to live here with our young family eight years ago. After completing lots of practical tasks, we set about renovating the inside, always ensuring that the historic integrity of the house was respected, and we worked from room to room until it was perfect for our active family life. Family and friends love to visit; the entire house having such a relaxed and welcoming nature. Much of day to day family life takes place in our kitchen/diner. It features a vaulted ceiling and is a large, sociable, space in which children sit around the table to do their homework, friends mingle and chatter whilst meals are prepared on our Aga and, with the adjoining activities room, children can enjoy their own space, especially when we are entertaining. Our large sitting room comes into its own on cold winter days when the fire is roaring in our wood burning stove.”“The spacious patio catches the sunshine in the morning and we do enjoy morning coffee out here. Steps lead up to the large garden which is mainly laid to lawn bordered with herbaceous plantings. There are several productive fruit trees and we do enjoy our raised vegetable patch. There is also space for us to keep chickens and ducks. At the far end of the garden we have a storage area and a second, extremely sheltered, patio and it is here that we have BBQs and sit long into the evening.”“The only shop in the village is the award winning cheese shop, but there is an excellent and very sociable pub in the village. There is a real sense of community here with everyone pulling together for the annual village fete, and the village hall is used for many activities including a brilliant yoga class. There are supermarkets nearby in Weston and Longwell Green, and Bath, with all its unique shops and restaurants, is just under 4 miles away. We will be sad when we say farewell to what has been an outstanding family home.”John and Anna
