SITUATIONThe property is situated in the hamlet of Woolverton, just over 7 miles south of the city of Bath. Woolverton has its own public house. The village of Rode is just two miles away and has two pubs, a post office and village shop.

The historic market town of Bradford-on-Avon is approximately 5 miles away, situated on the River Avon and famous for its canals, pubs, art and antique shops and the 14th century Tithe Barn. There is a wide range of amenities including a busy high street, restaurants, a leisure centre, library, train station and well-regarded schools.

Frome is an historic market town offering a range of shopping facilities, a regular farmers’ market, the extremely popular monthly independent market, sports centre, several cafés, a choice of pubs, two theatres and a cinema.

There is private schooling in Bruton, Wells and Bath. Westbury is located approximately seven miles away with a mainline station that has direct lines to London, and the A303 (M3) is 18 miles distant at Mere.

Bath is a city of extraordinary beauty with a long history. The importance of Bath was recognised in 1987 when it was designated

a World Heritage Site, the only city in England to be honoured in this way. It is one of the most popular holiday destinations in England.

Bath remains one of the UK’s premier tourist attractions for both inbound and domestic visitors, with the local authority recording 900,000 overnight stays and 6.7 million day visitors per year.

One of the main tourist attractions is the Thermae Bath Spa which opened in 2006. Visitors to the city are now able to enjoy Britain’s only natural thermal waters as the Celts and Romans did over 2,000 years ago.

Visitors are drawn to Bath for its famous Roman remains and by some of the finest architectural sights in Europe such as the Royal Crescent, The Circus and Pulteney Bridge. Bath is well known for its classical 18th century Georgian architecture and it is notable that there are more Grade I listed buildings in Bath than in central London. Bath is considered to be one of the best shopping destinations in the south west. There are also very well-regarded schools in both the state and private sectors and two universities.

Regular rail services run from Bath Spa and Bradford-on-Avon stations to London and the South/South West.

DESCRIPTIONThe House is a fine example of a substantial former rectory that dates back to the mid 1860’s. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the property is currently trading as an 11 en suite bedroom boutique hotel, set in gardens and grounds of about 2.4 acres.

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 bar and extensive views over the gardens.

On a more practical level there is a commercial kitchen and utility

space, as well as 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.

The property is currently trading as a boutique hotel, but also has full planning for residential use if someone wanted to make it a family home.
