4 bed detached house for sale

Priston, Nr, Bath BA2

Applecot House is an attractive stone property that has been extended in latter years and provides well-presented and spacious accommodation set on two storeys and surrounded by mature and attractive gardens.

The property is approached either via the gated brick-block driveway or through the pedestrian gate, both of which then cross the small brook to the entrance porch. Once inside the extensive ground floor, the accommodation begins with the snug and the sitting room, the latter leading to the study and into the airy garden room which boasts two sets of bi-folding doors leading to the level lawns. The snug in turn opens to the dining room, having ample space for a 10 seater table and the main staircase to the first floor. The beautiful kitchen/breakfast room opens to the dining room via a large archway and has an extensive range of muted coloured units with integrated appliances and a central island. It has a pleasant view of the pastureland to the rear, a door to the courtyard terrace area and to the utility room plus a second staircase to the separate upstairs bedroom suite. The ground floor space is completed with a useful cloakroom and integral garage.

In total the first floor offers 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which have ensuite facilities and a separate, semi-vaulted bathroom.

Externally there is a driveway in front of the garage, and an additional gated parking area which could easily be fully linked to the garden over the small brook. The gardens have level lawns, mature planting, fruit trees and flowering borders. There are many seating areas including the terrace located off the kitchen and a substantial summerhouse.

Applecot House is beautifully positioned in the heart of Priston, one of Somerset’s most desirable villages, about five miles southwest of Bath. Surrounded by rolling countryside, Priston offers a peaceful rural setting with a strong sense of community. The village features a village hall with regular events, a traditional pub, a 12th-century church and an active cricket club. Nearby Priston Mill, set within the Duchy of Cornwall’s Newton Park Estate, is a renowned wedding and events venue.

The property enjoys excellent access to a wide selection of independent and state schools, including King Edward’s, Prior Park, Monkton Combe, the Royal High School, Beechen Cliff, Ralph Allen, and Hayesfield.

Bath, a unesco World Heritage City, is just minutes away and offers outstanding shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, including the Roman Baths, Pump Rooms, and international music and literary festivals. Sporting facilities include Bath Rugby and Cricket Clubs, Bath University, and luxury spas at The Gainsborough, The Priory, and Combe Grove Manor. Babington House is 8 miles away.

Transport links include direct rail services to London Paddington and Bristol from Bath Spa Station. The M4 (J18) is 10 miles north, and Bristol Airport is 18 miles west—making Applecot House ideal for families, professionals, or retirees seeking countryside living with city convenience.
