Kelston, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Set beside the river Avon in a peaceful pocket of Kelston, perfectly positioned between Bath and Bristol, this unique detached home, within its own generous grounds, offers a rare blend of convenience, privacy, and idyllic surroundings. Believed to date back to 1822, Avonside is thought to have once served as a toll house known as Counting House Wharf, giving the property a fascinating historical link. Over the decades, the house has been extended, creating a versatile home that now offers four bedrooms�two on the ground floor and two upstairs�a family bathroom, a downstairs cloakroom, a spacious open-plan reception room, a separate kitchen, and the added benefit of a double garage and off-street parking. Owned by the same family for 50 years and enjoyed by three generations, the owners say, �The best part is being right by the river, yet elevated high enough that flooding has never been a concern.� They add, �We love that you can reach Bath or Bristol in just 10 minutes either way, yet the position feels wonderfully rural. There�s a bus stop just 50 yards away in either direction, or you could even travel by boat if you wanted to!� The house comes with its own fishing and mooring rights, making it the perfect home to enjoy a healthy, outdoor lifestyle. Outside, there are plenty of places to soak up the natural environment, from the veranda and raised deck�both with river views�to the lawns and woodland areas. Always feeling connected to nature, the owners say, �The terrace is a great place to sit out whatever the weather, and you can even enjoy watching the wildlife from the sitting room.� A must-see property, Avonside presents a rare opportunity for the next custodians to breathe new life into it and truly make it their own. �Everyone is drawn to the riverside deck � it�s the best place to take guests as it has a real wow factor. If you�re lucky, you might spot the local otter.� �The property sits within the parish of Northstoke, so it�s well connected to village life and is within walking distance of The Old Crown Inn at Kelston, The Swan Inn at Swineford and the Jolly Sailor at Saltford.� �The location has worked brilliantly for our multi-generational family, with easy access to schools and the Royal United Hospital.� �We will really miss the peace, the views, and this unique riverside setting.� Additional Information: Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.
