Forming a significant proportion of an elegant Georgian villa, St Aldhelm's is a handsome family home that combines period character, generous proportions and delightful gardens with the convenience of village life. It is the first time it has been on the market for over fifty years and would benefit from updating. The accommodation is entered through a vestibule opening into a reception hall. To one side lies a charming farmhouse kitchen, with a traditional gas-fired Aga, creating the heart of the home. Opposite, the formal dining room features an impressive Bath stone fireplace, providing an elegant setting for entertaining and family gatherings. The beautifully proportioned drawing room benefits from three tall sash windows overlooking the front garden. A feature fireplace, high coved ceilings and original picture rails enhance the period character that runs throughout the house. Completing the ground floor are a utility room, shower room and a study, with double doors opening directly onto the garden, offering an ideal space for home working. A particularly impressive staircase, believed to date from when St Aldhelm's formed part of a single grand villa, rises to the first floor. A skylight illuminates the galleried landing. The first floor provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a leafy outlook towards mature trees at the front, the remaining bedrooms benefit from far-reaching views across neighbouring gardens, village rooftops and surrounding countryside.
