Contemporary Panorama Villa - BA2

Set high above a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just minutes from the centre of Bath, this architect-designed contemporary villa combines striking modern architecture with uninterrupted panoramic views across a lush green valley. Designed with photography and film in mind, the home offers exceptional sightlines, abundant natural light and a series of dramatic architectural spaces that create effortless backdrops for lifestyle, interiors, fashion and luxury brand campaigns. At the heart of the house is a spectacular double-height sunken living room framed by 4.5-metre floor-to-ceiling pocket sliding doors, which disappear completely into the walls to create a seamless connection between the interior and the landscape beyond. Three mezzanine walkways overlook the space, providing multiple elevated viewpoints for wide establishing shots, while the soaring ceiling height allows for striking overhead camera angles rarely found in residential locations. Throughout the home, expansive south-facing glazing floods every room with soft natural light from sunrise to sunset. A long natural stone retaining wall runs through the architecture, illuminated by a glazed roof above, creating beautiful texture and ever-changing light throughout the day. The open-plan kitchen is calm, contemporary and beautifully understated, finished with natural limestone flooring and a neutral palette that allows products to take centre stage. It opens directly onto a generous stone terrace overlooking the valley. A handcrafted zellige-tiled pantry with reclaimed Crittall doors introduces warmth, craftsmanship and an additional characterful backdrop. The principal bedroom offers a luxurious retreat with a vaulted timber-clad ceiling, bespoke wooden shutters and a freestanding bath positioned to enjoy the spectacular views. The bed sits against the dramatic valley backdrop, creating an aspirational setting ideal for lifestyle and interiors shoots. Accommodation includes four beautifully designed bedrooms, three contemporary bathrooms and a self-contained annexe featuring a spacious studio/study and snug, offering additional styling opportunities and flexible production space. Several bedrooms open directly onto private terraces bespoke corten steel staircases, extending the range of indoor and outdoor shooting locations. Outside, wildflower meadow planting softens the contemporary architecture, while a pergola-covered dining terrace sits against an original stone wall, offering a relaxed Mediterranean feel. The exterior combines warm timber cladding, Danish brick and contemporary microcement render, creating a distinctive aesthetic that blends Ibiza minimalism with Californian modernism.
