Poplar House is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian home on a quiet no-through road in Batheaston, offering versatile family living across four floors and approximately 4,350 sq ft. The handsome stone façade, tall sash windows and fine period detailing create a memorable arrival, while three venetian windows and upper-floor rooms take in open Avon valley views. The layout includes large reception rooms, a generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family area and five bedrooms with four bath/shower rooms, plus cellar and potential sixth bedroom.
Outside, the walled drive, double garage and multiple parking spaces make arrivals straightforward. Mature, arranged gardens, a paved terrace with a Mediterranean feel, lawns, pond and vegetable terraces provide private outdoor space for entertaining and family life. There is a former indoor swimming pool and ancillary space that previously had planning and listed buildings consent to be converted into annexe accommodation — this consent has lapsed and any new works will need listed-building approvals.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character, generous rooms and scope to personalise. Note the property’s listed status: any alteration will be subject to restrictions and approvals. The solid sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is rated E and broadband speeds are reported as slow — factors to consider for long-term running costs and retrofit works. The gardens and former pool area will require maintenance or updating.
In short, Poplar House is a rare, historic family home in an affluent, well-connected village setting close to Bath, offering significant space and character but requiring a careful approach to conservation, energy improvements and certain modern comforts.
