Alexandra PlaceBath, Somerset, BA2 5EU

An exceptional architect-designed eco-home, Sky House is a striking contemporary residence occupying a generous plot in the heart of highly sought-after Combe Down. Thoughtfully conceived as a modern interpretation of the local vernacular, the property combines cutting-edge sustainability with beautifully crafted living spaces, creating a home of remarkable quality and distinction.

Constructed with an elegant palette of Bath stone-coloured render, larch cladding and natural slate roofing incorporating photovoltaic panels, Sky House sits discreetly off Tyning Road behind private parking and landscaped gardens. The design responds sensitively to its surroundings while making a bold architectural statement, with expansive glazing, carefully framed views and light-filled interiors throughout.

The accommodation extends to approximately one-and-a-half storeys, with versatile and exceptionally well-planned living space arranged around a welcoming entrance hall. At ground floor level, a study or guest bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, offering excellent accessibility and flexibility for multi-generational living. Beyond, the principal reception space unfolds as a wonderful open-plan living, dining and kitchen environment, ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.
The sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light from impressive glazing and sliding doors that open onto the terrace, seamlessly connecting the house with the garden. Adjacent is a cosy snug with pocket doors, providing a more intimate retreat.

The bespoke kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring birch-faced cabinetry, stainless-steel work surfaces, extensive rooflights and a practical pantry with fitted shelving and appliance storage.

A utility room leads directly to the garden and connects internally to a substantial studio space. Currently used as an architect's office and pottery workshop, this highly adaptable room could serve equally well as a gym, creative workspace, additional bedroom or family room. Large sliding doors open to the terrace, while a central rooflight floods the interior with daylight. A concealed projection screen further enhances its versatility as a home cinema space.

A defining feature of Sky House is its outstanding environmental performance. Designed as a fossil-fuel-free home, it incorporates an array of roof-mounted photovoltaic panels, battery storage and highly efficient construction using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), excellent levels of insulation and carefully controlled air-tightness contribute to remarkably low energy consumption while maintaining exceptional comfort and air quality.

Natural and sustainable materials have been selected throughout, including engineered oak flooring, natural linoleum, wool carpets and low-VOC finishes. The house has also been designed for longevity and ease of maintenance, with powder-coated aluminium windows, through-coloured render and naturally weathered timber cladding. Water-saving measures, rainwater collection and future-proofed accessibility features further reinforce the property's thoughtful and forward-looking design.

Sky House represents a rare opportunity to acquire an award-worthy contemporary home that successfully blends architectural excellence, environmental responsibility and superb lifestyle accommodation, all within one of Bath's most desirable village communities.

Externally
The gardens have been expertly designed as a sequence of distinct outdoor rooms, providing year-round interest and exceptional enjoyment. From the paved entertaining terrace, pathways lead through Mediterranean-inspired planting to a greenhouse, productive raised vegetable beds, an orchard of heritage apple trees and a beautifully secluded secret garden complete with summer house. The result is an enchanting and highly functional landscape that complements the ethos of the property perfectly.

In addition, Sky House has off street parking for several vehicles.
