Originally owned by the village baker, recent years have seen the addition of extensions to the side and loft to increase the overall space. ‘When we moved in, we felt the house deserved a bigger family bathroom and en-suite, so these were both extended and completely renovated without compromising on space elsewhere,’ say the owners. They add, ‘Valentine House is deceptively large, and people often say they can’t believe how big it seems inside.’ Laid out over three floors and comprising four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this well-kept family home benefits from an open-plan kitchen and dining area filled with light via a large roof lantern and French doors leading to the garden. An AGA creates a focal point and makes this space a favourite with the current owners. ‘The AGA ensures cooking Sunday lunch is a pleasure, and there’s plenty of space to extend the table to entertain large groups.’ Bursting with character the house boasts beams, sash windows and shutters and two fireplaces fitted with wood burners. There is also ample storage space throughout. The help of a landscape gardener was enlisted to improve the outside space, primarily to construct a sunny seated oak-decking area accessed via the kitchen and a patio housing a pizza oven and barbecue, along with a handy garden office. The property also boasts gated off-street parking and a garage. ‘The garden is a private and relaxing space, and the addition of artificial grass means that our children have been able to play outside all year round.’‘We knew Beckington well and loved the idea of living in a village with so much going on. There is a thriving pre-school and primary school, tennis and cricket clubs, two pubs and a delicatessen. Each year there is a safari supper which is always fun to get involved with.’‘Our daughter now attends a secondary school in Bath; to our surprise, most of the schools in the city, including Beechen Cliff, Prior Park, King Edwards and the Royal High School, operate a bus service through Beckington.’‘The house really lends itself to entreating.’‘We love that the house is the perfect mix of old and new with plenty of character and great modern additions.’ Additional Information
