The Round House, Claverton Down, Bath, BA2 6DR

This delightfully attractive and unusual property is a Grade II listed, former Toll house situated in an enviable position just a few minutes from Bath University and easy reach of a prime bus route to the city centre.

It is approached through a picket gate leading to the gardens which almost entirely encompass the house which has been recently refurbished and extended with a sympathetic yet contemporary, timber-clad build containing a beautiful kitchen, dining space and study area all leading to or looking over the garden.

It has made the ground floor accommodation exceptionally light which is completed by a sitting room with wood burning stove, a refitted bathroom and ample storage.

Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms with period features.

Externally the gardens pair wonderfully with the house, offering privacy, outdoor seating and eating areas, a greenhouse, shed and recycling area. It is filled by a wealth of plants and a pond.

Gated access is to the side of the property plus to the rear where there is a shingle parking area for 1/2 vehicles and a separate, single detached garage.

Claverton Down is a highly sought-after residential location on Bath’s leafy southern slopes, positioned beautifully on the edge of the Bath Skyline walk and within easy access of Bath city centre.
