Set beside the River Avon in Kelston, this unique detached period home (c.1822) occupies very large grounds with riverside access, fishing and mooring rights. The property offers a versatile layout with four bedrooms, a spacious open-plan reception, separate kitchen, veranda and raised deck with river views — ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. A double garage and off-street parking add practical convenience. Bath and Bristol are both around a 10-minute drive, while a village bus stop is within walking distance.
The house has been in the same family for 50 years and retains traditional character, stone exterior and rustic charm. It sits high enough above the river that flooding has not been a concern. The site’s scale and waterside position are significant value drivers for anyone seeking privacy, wildlife, and leisure by the river.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, council tax is above average, and there is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms. The house has been extended over time and will suit purchasers willing to modernise and invest to refresh interiors and services. For people seeking a peaceful riverside lifestyle close to cities, this property offers rare potential.
