Dark Lane, Bathampton

A fabulous detached single storey property peacefully located in the very heart of this select and sought after village. Constructed in 2005 to a particularly high specification, Blake House was cleverly designed by the award winning architect, David Hadfield, on passive solar principles and offers wonderfully spacious, impressive and versatile, split-level accommodation under a sedum planted roof.

EXTERNALLY

The property stands in delightful, mature, well tended, gardens. They are enclosed, laid to lawn with numerous flower and herbaceous borders, ornamental trees, specimen bushes, shrubs, paved pathways, terraces and seating areas to take account of any outdoor dining opportunities and the wonderful situation. There is a useful garden store/workshop, outdoor water and electricity/lighting supplies, a garage (with electrically operated door), together with the gated (again electric) gravelled driveway which provides further car parking.

LOCATION

Well located off a quiet “no through” road adjacent to King Edwards School playing fields, Blake House is within a very short stroll of the various shops and amenities in the village, including a convenience store, café, 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, whilst 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.  Blake House will be found “through” the stone wall marked “in” and is the property ahead of you.
