0.44-acre south-facing landscaped gardens with wildflower meadow and hot tub deck
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Laverton between Frome and Bath, this substantial period detached house suits growing families seeking rural space and character. The house offers flexible living across two floors, with a triple-aspect breakfast/dining room, generous living/family room with both wood-burning stove and open fireplace, and a principal bedroom with bi-folds onto a Juliet balcony framing countryside views.
The 0.44-acre plot is a major asset: south-facing landscaped gardens, a wildflower meadow, raised terrace with wood-fired hot tub, productive kitchen garden and children's play area. Practical outbuildings include a large wooden garage/store, shed and an old well, plus off-street parking on a private driveway that serves several vehicles.
There are clear renovation and running-cost considerations. The kitchen is currently unfitted and will require installation; the EPC is D and council tax is described as expensive. Access is via a track owned by a neighbouring farm with a legal right of access in place. Broadband speeds are very slow — important for home working — but the property’s size, position and garden create strong scope to modernise and add value for family living in a sought-after, affluent countryside location.
