Quote Reference NF0664 To Arrange Your Viewing

Amesbury Hill House is a unique home, dating back to the 18th Century and more recently extended and enhances to make the most wonderful home is a very desirable village location between the Cities of Bath, Bristol and Wells. The property is accessed via a lane that leads to a handful of dwellings in the Hamlet of Amesbury. Surrounded by rolling fields, flora and fauna it feels like a sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Yet my vendors have enjoyed many a social gathering here professionally and personally over the 40 plus years having revelled in living at this location.

The property is located at the end of the road with large double electronic gates closing it off from the world. A short pathway leads down to the front door. You enter the property via the spacious Dining Hall with a large table in place. Heading down a small flight of stairs to a Lobby, you will discover the cloak room before entering into the welcoming Living Room with a large stone fireplace and windows overlooking the rear garden. Beneath is a cellar, perfect to store your precious vintage wines. The Living Room cleverly has Bi-folding Doors that open into the large Sunroom of over 8 metres long. This room is southerly facing and also has full width Bi-folding doors onto the far reaching lawns of the upper garden, a perfect layout to hold a summer party I feel.

Back upstairs is the Kitchen/Breakfast room with a range of cream wall and base cabinets finished with Granite work tops. Here there is plenty of space and Bi-folding doors onto the patio. To the side is a Utility room and a rear Lobby.

Ascend the first floor and you will find two guest bedrooms, both with en-suite Shower Rooms. The Primary Bedroom suite is up a half flight of stairs. The bedroom has a dual aspect with a vaulted ceiling, you will sleep in peace with windows open during warm summer nights. To the side is a sumptuous En-suite finished with marble tiling to relax and enjoy. Just beyond is the Office of fourth Bedroom when required. This room or 6 metres long has a dual aspect and vaulted ceiling so ample light and room here.

Heading outside, the Garage is a more than a garage! With two floors and multiple rooms, such as a boiler room WC store room and upstairs the parking area and a drying room. This has Annexe additional accommodation potential I feel with some imagination, if required.

The gardens equate to around 1.75 acres of rolling lawns with hedge, tree and wall borders. You can enjoy day round sunshine here. The front gardens were previously more parking with a turning circle now a long lawn, southerly facing ideal for social gatherings and children. The rear garden has a large patio area for outside eating and enjoyment. Heading to the lower gardens you will discover the Swimming Pool and Pool House. The Pool requires some repair. The Pool House is a wonderful space with a wooden deck surrounding it. More can be done with this space too. Behind is a really private and natural garden with trees and some shade from the sunshine.

Overall this is a special location with a wonderful home offering privacy for those that need space, connectivity to the nearby Cities and maybe an eye for creation and adaptation. A viewing in person is very highly recommended to appreciate all that Amesbury Hill House has to offer.
