Nestled in the desirable village of Bathford, Somerset, Balnain Villa is a distinguished Grade II listed detached house, now available for £1,650,000. Having been cherished by the same owners for nearly two decades, this charming property boasts an extraordinary feature: a flourishing ornamental vine that gracefully winds through the garden room’s conservatory.
While the vine does not produce wine grapes, it offers a delightful and productive focal point where homeowners can enjoy picking their own fresh green grapes. The estate agency Hamptons highlights this vine as a “stunning” and rare aspect that enriches the character of the home.
Spread across three floors, the period residence includes five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating comfortable family living. The front of the property is bordered by a traditional stone wall and lush hedges, with a welcoming path leading to the vestibule. Double gates grant access to a driveway with ample parking, while stone steps guide you from the kitchen to the rear landscaped garden.
