17 June 2012, Property consultant Carter Jonas continues to enhance its reputation in the Bath lettings market after renting two large houses, each for £4,000 a month, within hours.

Lettings manager Sharon Hunter said: “There’s high demand for rented property both in and around Bath with people looking for anything from studio apartments to large country houses but these two proved particularly popular and even we were surprised how quickly they were snapped up.

“They were let to the first people to walk through the doors of our Wood Street office after they became available,” she said.

First let was the remodelled and refurbished Old Coach House with its large level garden with outstanding views across undulating countryside, in the pretty village of Priston, only six miles from Bath city centre.

The house is a five double bedroom family home sitting in its own one acre plot and outside buildings include an office and store room, a double garage and parking for three or four other vehicles.

Mrs Hunter said a property of this standard is rarely seen on the lettings market.

Its accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with concertina doors opening out onto the terrace and the walled garden, sitting room, music room, utility room and a wine cellar.

The second property, Elliott’s Barn in the chocolate box village of Biddestone, is a charming barn conversion within easy reach of the M4 motorway.

Living accommodation comprises a reception hall, kitchen/dining room, a magnificent drawing room, sitting room, galleried library, family room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Outside are store rooms, two large garages, parking for numerous vehicles, an ornamental garden with fishpond, and a larger area of garden extending to about two acres.

There was also the added benefit of a two bedroom cottage in the grounds which was let by separate negotiation.
