Set on about 4.13 acres in St Catherine’s Valley, The Old House is a handsome early-18th-century Bath stone farmhouse recently refurbished to a high standard. The renovation blends original character — exposed stone, an oak staircase and a Bath stone fireplace — with contemporary comforts including underfloor heating, Sonos, vaulted kitchen ceilings and a granite island. Multiple reception rooms, six bedrooms and formal principal suite suit family living and regular entertaining.
The house opens onto a large terrace and formal lawn with far-reaching rural views; a glazed kitchen extension and lower-ground family room create seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Attached outbuildings and an optional separate cottage annexe provide flexible space for guests, staff or home working. The plot includes gated access to a field with a viewing platform and mature planting that enhances privacy and outlook.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will need consent and may restrict changes. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average — typical for a rural location — which buyers should consider if remote working is essential. The property is offered freehold, flood risk is low and local schools and amenities in Batheaston and Bath are strong.
Overall, this is a rare country family home that combines generous internal space and extensive grounds with high-quality refurbishment and genuine period charm. It will suit buyers seeking an established rural lifestyle with easy access to Bath’s schools and services, provided they accept listing constraints and rural connectivity limits.
