4 bedroom detached house for sale

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 The property is situated on a south-facing hillside overlooking the Limpley Stoke Valley. The village of Limpley Stoke is close by at the foot of Winsley Hill, and other nearby villages are Freshford, Winsley (which has a well stocked convenience store) and Monkton Combe (including Monkton Combe School). In addition to Limpley Stoke, with the popular Hop Pole Inn and the Limpley Stoke Hotel, the picturesque village of Freshford is a short distance away where local amenities include a village school, doctor’s surgery, shop, village hall, public house and railway station. The city of Bath is easily accessible by car and bus, and by bicycle along the towpath of the nearby Kennet and Avon canal.

The city offers comprehensive business, entertainment and recreational facilities as well as a mainline rail link to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads. Further rail services are available at nearby Bradford on Avon with connections to Bristol and South Wales, to the west and as far as Portsmouth Harbour to the south.
