This traditional Bath stone home looks like it belongs in the spa city itself - but is actually ten miles away and comes without the Bath price tag.

Towerhurst, on Orchard Close in Westfield, dates back to the 1930s, and is built from Bath stone, the honey-coloured limestone made up of Jurassic period fragments, marine sediment and lime.

The stone was most prolifically used in the city of Bath, first being mined in Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines, with much of the upper-class housing in the city constructed of the material.

Towerhurst could easily fit into that landscape, with a manor-like facade calling back to its 1930s origins.

The property retains plenty of its original features, such as a stained glass door, an architrave and panelling.

On the ground floor, there is a living room, a drawing room, a dining room, a kitchen, an office, a WC and a utility room.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms - the master with an en-suite bathroom - and a family bathroom.

The house is situated in a quarter of an acre of grounds containing a lawn, a terrace with a pond feature, and parking for up to ten cars.

Towerhurst is being marketed by Sam Chivers Estate Agents, and is listed at a price of £665,000.

The agent has highlighted that the price of a similar property in the city of Bath would likely be higher, with four-bedroom detached period properties currently on the market ranging from £695,000 to £1,200,000.

Sarah Fear, of Sam Chivers, commented: “This is such a unique property. I often drive by and look at this home!”
