Superb country hotel for sale

This magnificent country house hotel just outside Bath has come up for sale.

The property, which has 14 ensuite bedrooms, a bar, restaurant and a number of ground floor offices, is in the picturesque villages of Monkton Combe.

Waterhouse Lane, which also has stunning grounds and gardens, used to be a residential home and is now a country house hotel with 10 serviced offices.

The original house was built in the late 18th century, an extension was added in the 1980s and provides the bedrooms for the hotel.

A number of attractive original features have been retained throughout.

To the rear of the property is a terrace overlooking the lawned gardens.

There is a small building in the grounds known as Matron’s Cottage, which needs a lot of work.

While the property lends itself to a number of potential commercial uses, Waterhouse could easily convert to a superb country house estate.

It remained in private ownership until 1947 when the residential home was founded by the Rev Percy Warrington.

In September 2008 the Warrington Homes Charitable Trust took the decision to close the residential home and sell Waterhouse.

The current owners are only the fourth in the property’s history, and after their purchase in 2009 they restored the property by reinstating many of its original features including cornicing, wooden floors, fireplaces, shutters and oak staircases.

The grounds have also been beautifully landscaped.

Waterhouse Lane is on the market with Savills for £2.75m.
