Set in the heart of Limpley Stoke, The Vale is a substantial Italianate family home offering flexible living across three floors. Built in c.1840 of Bath stone, the house provides generous reception space, four double bedrooms and roughly 2,822 sq ft of accommodation — ideal for families who value light, period detail and large private grounds.
The house sits in just under an acre of gardens and grounds with a sweeping gravel drive, electric gates and two detached double garages. Principal reception rooms include a bright drawing room with period fireplace and French doors to the lawn, a snug with wood burner, formal dining room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room centred on an Aga. The master suite benefits from a dressing area and a roof terrace with valley views; a guest suite on the ground floor offers convenient private access to the garden and parking.
Practical positives include mains gas heating to radiators, plentiful off-road parking and extensive outdoor space for families, entertaining and hobbies. The property’s setting gives easy access to towpath walks into Bath, nearby schools and village amenities, while Bath city centre is about five miles away.
Buyers should note this is a historic property with conservation-era construction: walls are likely uninsulated stone, glazing is secondary and the current EPC rating is E. Period homes of this age can require ongoing maintenance and upgrades (insulation, windows, and energy efficiency measures) and broadband speeds are reported as slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are factual considerations for anyone planning long-term occupation or modernisation.
