Summary - The Old Rectory, Skinners Hill, Camerton BA2 0PU
Six bedrooms and multiple reception rooms across large 6,087 sq ft
The Old Rectory is a striking Georgian rectory set on just over an acre at the edge of Camerton, five miles from Bath. Grand sash windows and high ceilings create light, airy reception rooms across two principal floors, with a cellar suitable for wine or storage and a double garage accessed via a gated driveway.
Outside, largely walled gardens have mature planting, sweeping lawns, a large pond with waterfall and a separate fruit-tree and vegetable area. The house sits in a tranquil valley setting with very low crime and good broadband, yet Bath is around 20 minutes away by car and rail links to London are convenient for occasional long-distance travel.
Accommodation includes six reception rooms, a study and six bedrooms, but only two bathrooms, so the layout suits a household that may want to reconfigure or add facilities. The house has been redecorated in places but retains scope for further updating, particularly given the building’s pre-1900 stone walls (assumed no cavity insulation) — buyers should factor in potential insulation and services upgrades.
Practical points: heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; the property is freehold, not listed, and shows clear flood risk status (none). Note council tax is very expensive; long-term running and improvement costs should be considered alongside the rare opportunity to own a substantial period home in a countryside setting.
