Bathampton

A fabulous, individual detached single storey property peacefully located in the heart of this select and sought after village.  Constructed in 2003 to a high specification, Spadgers was cleverly designed by the award winning architect, David Hadfield, on passive solar principles – taking full account of both the sunny position and its enviable location, with wonderful views over the adjacent King Edwards School playing fields, across the canal and open countryside, towards Bathford.  Spadgers offers particularly spacious, light and airy, “flexible” accommodation promoting inside/outside living, under a sedum planted roof (by Bauder) with pyramid lantern lights.  In the garden stands the original Bath House – a charming Grade II* Listed late 18th century building with its original stone bath and fireplace.

EXTERNALLY

The property stands in well tended, good size gardens to all sides.  They are mostly laid to lawn with various flower and herbaceous borders, ornamental trees, bushes, shrubs, sun terraces and seating areas.  There is a vegetable and fruit garden, timber shed, greenhouse with water and electricity supplies and a covered well.  In addition to the double garage (with electrically operated door), there is parking for many vehicles, both on the driveway and further area of land.

LOCATION

Spadgers occupies a superb position, off a “no through” road.  It is within a very short stroll of the various shops and amenities in the village, including a post office, doctors surgery, St Nicholas church and the famous George public house.  Wonderful walks through open countryside or along the Kennet and Avon canal – either into the city or towards Bradford on Avon -  are also very close at hand.  The centre of Bath is only about 1½ miles away, easily accessible by car, bus or on foot, along the canal towpath.

DIRECTIONS

Leave the centre of Bath heading east on the A36 Warminster Road.  Take the left hand fork down Bathampton Lane and take the right hand turning immediately before the playing field and bridge – Dark Lane.  Spadgers will be found “through” the stone wall marked “in”. Spadgers is the property on your left.
