**Description**
Planning permission has been granted (2020/2400/ful)
To create a unique house to an incredibly desirable architectural design in
this hugely appealing location. The old coaching Inn sits in an envious
position overlooking the 13th century Farleigh Hungerford Castle, off of which
the boundary wraps around. The views continue down the River Frome Valley
across to Iford Manor, providing breath - taking scenery which the design and
orientation of the house has made the very most of.
Apart from the original beer cellar that still remains, the proposed
accommodation spans across two floors, incorporating the original buildings,
whilst the modern extensions will be placed on the back of the building, to
allow for open plan modern living with glass walls to admire the vista. This
will create a superb kitchen/dining/living space with a curved glass wall and
also a square glass extension.
At the front of the building is the original bar room, with open fireplaces
and retaining the original wooden bar with its beer handles, which will form
the grand drawing room. This will lead through to ancillary accommodation at
the far side of the house, whilst a staircase will lead up to the bedrooms and
bathrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom will have full charge of
the incredible views as well as a large en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom
at the far end of the house will also have an en suite shower room, whilst the
three further bedrooms will share a spacious family bathroom.
Across the driveway from the house is a detached pitched roof triple garage
with a self - contained flat or office above. The driveway leads to a large
parking area and in front of the house is a lovely garden, taking the views,
and leading down to a small copse below with a glade at the bottom, perfect
for kids to explore, next to the historic castle.
**Location**
The position is excellent and historic, neighbouring the 13th century castle,
owned by English heritage and the village having evidence of Roman origins. It
is a small and very picturesque village, divided by a hump back bridge over
the Frome River, popular for wild swimming. Farleigh House, a short distance
away is now the home to Bath Rugby team, where they train and the village is
surrounded by beautiful country side and woodland, excellent for walking and
riding. The larger village of Norton St Philip only half a mile away, has two
pubs and a large shop, and Beckington Farm Shop is a short distance away with
an award winnng fish and chip shop, and M & S food hall and petrol station.
There are excellent nearby schools in both the public and private sectors, to
include Monkton Combe, Prior Park, King Edward's, Kingswood and The Royal High
School. Also within close proximity is the fashionable hotel, Babington House.
The village is equidistance to historic and vibrant Bath and fashionable
Frome, both accessed by a regular bus service.
