House for sale in Tithe Barn End, Claverton, Bath - 5 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 3 bathrooms

An intriguing and highly impressive 4/5 bedroom Grade II listed house of great character and interest, situated in a private corner of Claverton, one of the highly regarded villages just to the south of Bath.



Converted, we understand, around 1984, the property provides well proportioned accommodation which gives a clear impression of space, style and comfort, with attention having been paid to high quality upgrading since conversion.

The origin and character of Tithe Barn End, which obviously has some significance in the history of the village, remain evident, most notably in the magnificent open first floor reception room. With spectacular hammer and arch-braced roof beams creating dramatic effect as the central or ‘signature’ component of the property, this distinctive room, measuring around 30’ x 22’, also has an exposed stone fireplace with ‘Jetmaster’ fire and stone hearth.

The house has four double bedrooms arranged with two splendid suites on the ground floor, and two further double bedrooms at first floor level. Such an arrangement would meet a variety of needs, including the accommodation of a relative requiring easy access or when providing some privacy for guests.

A good size home office has direct access to the rear garden, and could serve as a fifth bedroom if required.

The two ground floor bathrooms and first floor shower room are well equipped, as is the kitchen breakfast room, which has good space for both food preparation and breakfast/light dining. The large dining room is just perfect for entertaining and has an adjacent ‘garden’ room - a pleasant, sunny spot for reading and relaxing. The unusually spacious ground floor also has an excellent size utility room, boot room and cloakroom/wc.

Sited close to the pretty church on a good size plot and located opposite the charming Manor Farm House, Tithe Barn End has excellent parking facilities, including a double garage with workshop, triple parking bay on the front boundary and additional hard standing.

There is a substantial lawned rear garden with a large paved terrace and gated vehicle access at the far boundary.

The property is ideally situated for easy access to the University of Bath and excellent local schools including Monkton Combe, Ralph Allen, Combe Down Primary and Prior Park College. Near to Claverton Weir and the Kennett and Avon canal, there is easy access along the towpath to Bradford on Avon and Bath. Claverton has a village hall and a church and the nearby renowned American Museum has a cafe and shops along with many activities and events.
