Description from owner

Description

Kingsmoor is perfect for a family or friends getaway. Our spacious family home has far-reaching views across the valley, the village of Box and to Bath beyond.

With 4 large double bedrooms, a games room with a large double sofa-bed and plenty of living space inside and out it’s a gorgeous, comfortable, relaxing stay for up to 10 guests.

Within walking distance to all village amenities and easy reach of the city of Bath, many places of interest, the M4 and main rail and bus links.

The space

As this is our full-time family home unfortunately the house is not suitable for hens, stags or party groups.

If unsure please contact us first and we can have a chat and take it from there :)

PETS - PLEASE NOTE

Well behaved and supervised pets will only be considered on request, strictly in advance, so please enquire first.

KINGSMOOR

This is a gorgeous double bay fronted Edwardian home. It has been lovingly refurbished to restore original period features including fire places, stained glass and decorative woodwork.

DOWNSTAIRS

To the front of the building there are two bright, spacious reception rooms with far reaching country views.

RECEPTION ROOMS

The living room has a large flat-screen smart TV, 6:1 surround sound system and a working wood burner.

The second lounge also doubles up as a private cinema room, equipped with a 120inch screen, a 4k UHD projector, full 11:2 atmos surround sound system, a large DVD library and an open Netflix account.

The 3rd reception has a selection of games and books plus a TV and audio system – a great games room or quiet escape. This also offers a very comfortable double sofa-bed.

DINING

A separate dining room that seats 10 adjoins the large fully equipped kitchen/diner. The kitchen has a large range offering 7 hobs, 2 ovens plus a grill, a separate pantry and storage room with additional cookware and crockery, a TV and bi-fold doors that open out onto the rear patio and secure lawn garden beyond.

PRIVATE CHEF

Should you wish to treat yourselves we can recommend a great private chef who can prepare a delicious home-cooked meal ready for you to heat up on arrival. Or if you prefer a full sit down dinner service, just let us know and we can give you more details.

LAUNDRY ROOM

The utility room at the rear of the building is fully equipped with a washing machine, separate tumble dryer, Belfast sink, drying racks and ironing facilities. Yes there’s a downstairs loo too.

UPSTAIRS

You’ll find 4 very large bedrooms (2 kings, 2 doubles, one en-suite) with high ceilings, flat screen TVs and great views. There are 3 full bathrooms, a spacious walk in shower room and a separate "throne" toilet room.

OUTSIDE TERRACE

To the front there is a large private terrace with seating where you can enjoy panoramic views over the hills and valley and soak up amazing sunsets. Steps lead down to a large front lawn area.

REAR GARDEN

To the rear there is a private patio adjacent to the kitchen with dinning table and chairs. This leads to a secure lawn area which is a great space for croquet and other outside games. A BBQ can be made available on request. We would ask that it's left clean on departure.

PARKING

There is private off street parking for up to 4 cars, directly outside the property.
