An outstanding, superbly appointed four bedroom detached family home with a separate one or two bedroom
cottage in a delightful private parkland setting, around five miles North East of the city of Bath.
This distinctive property was once part of ‘The Rocks’, a 1200 acre estate, formerly Southernwood Castle, evidently
one of the region’s most exclusive residential and sporting private estates. Approached by way of a stone pillared
entrance and one of the estate’s former private roads, Keepers Gate enjoys its own seclusion within walled gardens,
a five bar gate entrance and a lovely natural woodland backdrop which screens the attractive formal and natural
gardens, which in turn run down to the St Catherine valley.
As a barn conversion, the original architecture appears to have allowed the designer to create living space
centred around a light, airy and welcoming reception hall and galleried landing where, in addition to the main
accommodation, there is additional naturally lit relaxing space.

At ground floor level the fusion of house and gardens is emphasised by all four reception rooms having double
external doors and the two principal reception rooms each have stone fireplaces with log burning fires. The
drawing room also has a fully integrated home cinema system with screen, speakers and amplification.
Our clients have attended to the refurbishment and enhancement of the buildings and gardens with great
attention to detail; one of the most notable features is the beautiful Bulthaup kitchen, with an impressive range
of cherry cabinetry and granite work surfaces. This appealing family kitchen/breakfast room also has under floor
heating beneath the limestone flooring. The comfortable master bedroom suite overlooks the rear garden and
there are two further bath/shower rooms.
The self contained two bedroom cottage offers high quality accommodation which could serve a variety of needs,
either for a family relative, staff or as a suite of home offices. Alternatively it could provide a rental income as an
excellent holiday let if required. The triple garaging and courtyard parking provide excellent space for six or more
vehicles. The gardens are a principal feature of the property; there is variety and interest in all year round colour,
emphasising both the building and environment in equal measure that give this property such special appeal.
There can be very few properties in this price range which give the resident such a feeling of privacy. In a 1921
auction catalogue the estate is described as being “in a commanding position in the midst of hill and dale
country...in a finely timbered park of 90 acres”: we believe that a good deal of that exclusivity remains today.
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage City, renowned for its commitment to the Performing Arts,
Sports and Education. For local information, please contact us at our Wood Street office.
