Bath

The Setting

The Dolls House is nestled in the picturesque and historic village of Claverton, set at the head of the beautiful Limpley Stoke Valley, approximately four miles east of Bath. This discreet and charming hamlet is predominantly composed of characterful period homes built from the area’s distinctive mellow Bath stone, creating a timeless and quintessentially English setting.

Claverton enjoys a wonderfully rural atmosphere, surrounded by rolling countryside with an abundance of scenic walks and bridle paths quite literally on the doorstep. Despite its peaceful setting, it remains exceptionally well positioned for access to the city centre, The University of Bath, Bath Golf Club, The American Museum and Gardens and popular Bath schools.

The nearby city of Bath is internationally renowned for its stunning architecture and vibrant cultural scene, offering an excellent range of leisure facilities, country clubs, independent shops, pubs, theatres and restaurants. Bath Spa railway station provides high-speed rail services to London Paddington in approximately 90 minutes, making the area ideal for commuters as well as those seeking the best of city and country living.

Lovingly and comprehensively renovated throughout, including reroofing, the property has been thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage while embracing modern living.

The ground floor is laid with elegant large format porcelain tiles, creating a seamless flow and a sense of understated luxury. Upstairs, premium hard-wearing carpets add softness and comfort to both generously sized double bedrooms.

The newly installed kitchen is both sophisticated and practical, featuring classic shaker-style cabinetry paired with premium Silestone quartz worktops. Integrated appliances provide a clean, uncluttered finish, perfectly complementing the cottage aesthetic while offering all the conveniences of modern living.

To the rear, a charming courtyard offers a private spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. In true village fashion, residents also enjoy placing a chair out front to soak up the sunshine with a cuppa, embracing the friendly and relaxed community atmosphere.

The Dolls House is the archetypal country cottage, idyllic, and perfectly finished. Whether you’re seeking a charming home to downsize and simplify life, a stylish bolt-hole near Bath, a modern base for a young professional, or a strong rental investment, this delightful property offers a rare blend of character, quality, and location.
