Beautiful celing!

Beautiful ceilingThis amazing 5 bedroom house is for sale at a guide Price of £4,500,000
It’s in Bathampton, Bath, BA2 6ST and is a former rectory.
The property is Grade II listed and dates back to the 17th century however it is understood that the trout lake was fished by monks from as early as the 14th century.

It ticks SO many boxes for me – being a really pretty house with lovely gardens.
There is a kitchen garden,rose walk and orchard. The canal is a superb feature and currently has a boat mooring at the bottom of the garden. The heated swimming pool is serviced by two changing rooms, a shower room, kitchen and barbeque area. In addition is an all weather tennis court.
Stunning. Love the lawn pattern too!

Watch it on 4onD
Whilst it has a strange layout, it’s a nice roomy place, although in need of some decoration and the crack in the wall needs looking at.

Phil says “it’s only worth what someone will pay for it… ” which is why it’s still on the market a couple of weeks after being on tv.
