5 bed detached house for sale

Bratton Road, West Ashton BA14

From the striking first impression to fabulous far reaching views, this stunning period property has lots to offer. Stretching to over 2,300 square feet, the property offers versatility for use as 4/5 bedrooms whilst the impressive west facing garden forms part of a plot of around half an acre.

Arriving at the property, the handsome and pleasingly symmetrical facade features 16 pane sash windows and a central front door. This leads into the entrance hall where you are greeted with high ceilings, a theme that continues through most of the house. The dual aspect living room is a fabulous space to relax, particularly when the beautiful wood burning stove is lit. The sash window to the front has gorgeous working shutters whilst the rear window has a fabulous view of the rear garden. Moving further into the house, the dining room is a generous, dual aspect space with plenty of room for a table and chairs as well as a lovely fireplace. This leads on to the traditional style country kitchen which has a vast amount of fitted units with wooden work surface over. The Belfast style sink is positioned in front of a window with a glorious view of the rear garden whilst you also find a range style cooker. A separate office serves well as a work from home space although being adjacent to the downstairs shower room, some buyers may wish to explore using this to create a utility room. An additional reception room meanwhile could provide a much larger office space, play room, music room or even a ground floor fifth bedroom. This superb room has exposed wooden floorboards, a beautiful fireplace and sash window to the front with shutters. Completing the ground floor is a useful shower room with antique fitted storage, shower cubicle, WC and a wash basin.

The primary staircase ascends to the bright landing with two charming arched windows overlooking the garden whilst a second staircase provides an alternative. The main bedroom is an immense size, complete with fitted wardrobes and two sash windows. The size of this room offers opportunity to create a dressing room, or even an ensuite whilst retaining a large master bedroom should one prefer. Bedroom two is found towards the rear of the house with dual aspect windows to both sides. Another generously proportioned room, this one also has a built in cupboard. Bedroom three remains larger than many master bedrooms and features a sash window, charming fireplace and an open fronted built in cupboard. Although the smallest, bedroom four is still a good double room and enjoys a glorious view of the rear garden. The main bathroom features a freestanding, roll top bath, separate shower cubicle and a wash basin whilst a separate WC with wash hand basin provides practical advantages. Completing the internal space is a useful laundry room which links the landing to the second staircase and leads on to bedroom two.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The plot measures around half an acre with a lawned front garden, sheltered from the road by an attractive hedge. This extends down one side of the house whilst gravel driveway and a double garage are found to the other. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with various trees and attractive shrubs. Backing onto open fields with far reaching views, the garden is west facing allowing the most wonderful sunsets. Enjoying a supreme degree of privacy, a gravel area provides a fabulous spot for dining outdoors whilst other notable features include a summer house with power and outside WC.

We have been advised that the property is Grade II Listed. There is no mains gas to the village and as such, this property is served with oil central heating whilst the gas fireplace in the dining room contains a gas cylinder hidden within it.
