Woolverton, Bath
Guide price £1,700,000

An impressive country house hotel with residential planning permission, set within gardens and grounds with open country views.

Description

The House is a beautiful example of a substantial former rectory that dates back to the mid 1860s. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the property is currently trading as a boutique hotel with 11 bedrooms and 11 en suite bathrooms, set in gardens and grounds of about 2.4 acres. There is also a full-size petanque piste for boules enthusiasts and a brook and a pond at the bottom of the garden where the water comes from a nearby spring where the monks reputedly brewed their beer hundreds of years ago.

This stunning detached Victorian property has a grand reception hall, which opens out into the large dining room with its impressive fireplaces and views of the open countryside. There is a formal drawing room and a conservatory, complete with a bar and extensive views over the gardens. On a more practical level there is a commercial kitchen and utility space, as well as a guest cloakroom and laundry area. There is also access to a traditional wine cellar. The bedrooms are arranged over the ground, first and second floors and all have a view, as well as an en suite bath or shower room. The property retains many of its period features with exposed wooden floors, stone mullion windows, wooden panelling, impressive fireplaces and cornicing.

Outside
The property is set in gardens and grounds that approach 2.4 acres and enjoys open views to the rear over neighbouring fields and farmland in the direction of Rode. The property is accessed via tall stone and iron gates, onto a gravel turning circle and driveway, which leads to a car park.
