**Description**
Totney House is an outstanding example of an Arts and Crafts home in the most
idyllic setting with one of the finest panoramic views towards Bath and
beyond. It is a unique, enchanting family home with versatile and characterful
accommodation arranged over four floors.
The property was built in 1932 using the highest quality materials by skilled
craftsman with close attention to detail; and it has only had three owners
during this time.
On the ground floor from the entrance hall there are two large reception rooms
both with curved windows and glass patio doors, two York Minster fireplaces
with wood burning stoves, beautiful solid wood floors and handmade, unique
wooden doors and door furniture. From here is the well - equipped
kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired aga, and a cloakroom.
The lower ground floor is at garden level, accessed via an oak spiral
staircase, there is a study/office, Amdega conservatory, utility room/summer
kitchen (with its own stable door entrance) and a cloakroom.
The upper floors are accessed by a wide oak staircase, on the first floor is
the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, a double bedroom with en
suite bathroom and a mezzanine area which is perfect for storage or to provide
a fun additional sleeping/play space for children, a further large double
bedroom with twin aspect views and a single bedroom.
On the second floor is a single bedroom which has been cleverly designed into
the former attic of this most unusual dwelling. All bedrooms benefit from
craftsmen made, built in wardrobes allowing for ample hanging a shelving
space. There is also a spacious family bathroom on the first floor.
Externally
The property is approached onto a private sweeping driveway, where there is
parking for a few vehicles in addition to the double garage with carport, and
a large secondary carport suitable for a caravan or boat positioned on the
right hand side of the entrance. There is a large fully insulated room above
the double garage with carport, that could be used for a variety of purposes
such as a games room, studio, office or it could be converted to an annexe,
subject to obtaining the necessary consents. There are also four sheds (one of
which is used as a workshop and features power and lighting) and a greenhouse.
The southerly facing mature grounds are a superb feature, comprising gentle
sloping lawns with an array of shrubs, plants and trees. There are also
perfectly positioned terraces where you can enjoy the unspoilt rural views
across the surrounding countryside.
