5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Set in peaceful Middle Stoke, just minutes from Bath and Bradford on Avon, this charming Victorian semi-detached home enjoys far-reaching valley views, generous outside space, and a wonderful balance of period character and contemporary comfort.

Originally built between 1860 and 1880 and thoughtfully extended in the 1980s, Sundowners now presents as a substantial family home with a warm, sociable heart. The current owners have upgraded the house with great care and style over recent years. Highlights include a spacious kitchen/snug with a cosy woodburner, Dijon limestone flooring with underfloor heating, and a light-filled studio or office space. Throughout, quality finishes such as Everest Victorian-style sash windows and bespoke bookcases sit beautifully alongside the home’s traditional charm. ‘We were drawn to the stunning valley views, the peaceful garden, the sense of space — and how easily we could reach Bath and beyond. There are great walks, a friendly village community, and excellent local amenities,’ say the owners.
Laid out over three floors, with an additional cellar, the house offers five generous bedrooms, multiple reception rooms for family life and entertaining, and modern conveniences including EV charging and parking for up to five cars. ‘The layout is fantastic, and the third bedroom, second utility and family room offer potential to create an annexe,’ they explain.
Outdoors, landscaped patios and a garden viewing platform provide perfect spots for entertaining or quiet reflection. ‘We love to enjoy sundowners on the front patio when entertaining more formally in the dining room or up in the beautiful top garden.’

‘Transport links are excellent, with easy access to Bath by road, train, or bus. The local train station is a 15-minute walk away, offering connections to Bath, Bristol, South Wales, Weymouth and Portsmouth. A bus stop is also within a 10-minute walk.’

‘It’s a brilliant house for hosting friends and family — whether gathering around the firepit, having BBQs on the decking, or sharing sit-down meals.’

‘The principal bedroom’s en suite has been recently redesigned with oak cabinetry and a large walk-in shower.’

‘The house is just a short stroll from the much-loved Hop Pole Inn, as well as walking and cycling routes along the Kennet & Avon Canal and Avon Valley — a beautiful natural backdrop to everyday life.’

‘We’ll really miss the views, the village community, and the peace this house has given us. It’s been a fantastic place to raise our family, and we’ve made lifelong friends here.’
