4 bedroom house

Totney House is an outstanding example of an Arts and Crafts home in the most idyllic setting with one of the finest panoramic views towards Bath and beyond. It is a unique, enchanting family home with versatile and characterful accommodation arranged over four floors.

The property was built in 1932 using the highest quality materials by skilled craftsman with close attention to detail; and it has only had three owners during this time.

On the ground floor from the entrance hall there are two large reception rooms both with curved windows and glass patio doors, two York Minster fireplaces with wood burning stoves, beautiful solid wood floors and handmade, unique wooden doors and door furniture. From here is the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired AGA, and a cloakroom.

The lower ground floor is at garden level, accessed via an oak spiral staircase, there is a study/office, Amdega conservatory, utility room/summer kitchen (with its own stable door entrance) and a cloakroom.

The upper floors are accessed by a wide oak staircase, on the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, a double bedroom with en suite bathroom and a mezzanine area which is perfect for storage or to provide a fun additional sleeping/play space for children, a further large double bedroom with twin aspect views and a single bedroom. On the second floor is a single bedroom which has been cleverly designed into the former attic of this most unusual dwelling. All bedrooms benefit from craftsmen made, built in wardrobes allowing for ample hanging a shelving space. There is also a spacious family bathroom on the first floor.

The property is approached onto a private sweeping driveway, where there is parking for a few vehicles in addition to the double garage with carport, and a large secondary carport suitable for a caravan or boat positioned on the right hand side of the entrance.

There is a large fully insulated room above the double garage with carport, that could be used for a variety of purposes such as a games room, studio, office or it could be converted to an annexe, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. There are also four sheds (one of which is used as a workshop and features power and lighting) and a greenhouse.

The southerly facing mature grounds are a superb feature, comprising gentle sloping lawns with an array of shrubs, plants and trees. There are also perfectly positioned terraces where you can enjoy the unspoilt rural views across the surrounding countryside.
