CURATED PROPERTY PRESENTS: ‘Glebe House’ is a fine example of a Grade II listed former Georgian rectory, set within large gardens and grounds in excess of 1.25 acres and spread over three floors, with seven bedrooms and a spacious kitchen and dining area. It has evolved over time from its late 17th century origins with modern additions, making it perfect for large groups who want to experience the history of Bath in comfort and style. The home enjoys panoramic south westerly views across the pic
The space
The home offers approximately 5,960 sq ft of accommodation, with high ceilings and bright aspects throughout, arranged over three floors; the principle rooms enjoy the south westerly views across the valley.

To the ground floor is an impressive entrance hall with ornate stone fireplace. There is a trio of formal reception rooms in the form of the library, drawing and dining room with seating for 10, each with views over the gardens as well as direct access outside. Additionally, there is a stylish Smallbone of Devizes kitchen, complete with Aga and island unit and a breakfast/family room leading off the kitchen; this provides an open plan entertaining space with a pool table and bi-fold doors to both elevations, opening out to the gardens and enjoying the views beyond. On a practical note there is a large boot room, utility and separate cloak room off the family room as well as further access to the gardens and parking areas.

To the first floor is the master bedroom which comes complete with an array of built-in wardrobes, far-reaching views across the countryside towards Bath and a generous en suite bathroom complete with separate shower and twin wash hand basins. Additionally to the first floor are three further double bedrooms, one of which has been used as a dressing room and boasts a large enclosed shower fitted wardrobes and some gym equipment. There is also a family bathroom complete with separate shower as well as a separate W.C. To the second floor are four further bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and the others all benefitting from vanity wash hand basins. There is also a separate W.C to this level.

Glebe House enjoys gardens and grounds that amount to about 1.26 acres. The main lawns sit to the front and sides and are surrounded by a variety of lovely trees. There is a pennant stone paved terrace leading off the front of the house, which extends to one side and provides an ideal outside entertaining space as a result of its westerly facing direction and far-reaching views across the picturesque valley. Additionally in the gardens is a surfaced tennis court enclosed by safety fencing, with impressive valley views.

On the whole this wonderful family home offers quality practical living space with a touch of finesse and period charm, in a wonderful peaceful country village, with the best of both town and country living.

It was the perfect space to host a large family. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate a diverse group. The beds were very comfortable. The house was lovely and warm. We enjoyed all of the spaces and particularly felt comfortable because the furniture was well-loved and not too precious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
