Description

Belmont Cottage is believed to have originally been built as the coach house for the much larger residence Belmont House next door in the early 1800's. At some point in the later 1900's it was converted to a dwelling. You enter through the front door into a hallway which provides access to the living room and bedroom. The living room is a spacious area with window to the rear aspect providing lovely views across the valley. To the front aspect is an open kitchen with modern wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink drainer, electric oven and hob, integrated fridge/freezer and space for microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. Off of the living room is an enclosed small study space with stairs rising to the loft. To the rear glazed double doors open up into the conservatory which also gives access to the bedroom and a further door to the garden. The bedroom is a good size double room with built-in wardrobes. A doorway leads to the shower room with walk-in shower cubicle, washbasin on vanity unit and WC. There is also a further separate WC.

Externally

There is a courtyard garden space with small wooden shed and stone chipped driveway which is enclosed by lockable two wooden panel gates.

Location

Combe Down sits on a level ridge approximately 1.25 mile (2 km) to the south of Bath city centre. It sits at an altitude of 500ft and hence has always been renowned for its clean air quality with many moving from the city for this reason. The village is adjoined to the north by large areas of natural woodland with public footpaths offering stunning panoramic views overlooking the city and equally gratifying views of the Cotswold (AONB) valleys to the south. There is simply no other village like it on the outskirts of the city with such a wide range of local amenities and schooling. This makes it a very popular place for families and those looking for an area with a rural feeling but still within walking distance of the city. You will find every level of schooling in the local vicinity with three nurseries, two academy primary schools, Ralph Allen academy senior school and two independent schools in Prior Park and Monkton Combe, both with pre-prep, prep and senior schools. There is also Threeways School which provides for special education needs from ages 4 to 19 years.

Locally there is an abundance of amenities with doctor’s surgery, Bath BMI Clinic, dentist, two pharmacies, highly reputed car garage, award winning delicatessen, fish and chip shop, hair salon, builders merchants, beauty therapist, bakery and Co-op mini-markets. On the western edge of the village is a Tesco Express with petrol station and a large Sainsburys supermarket can also be found in neighbouring Odd Down. Nearby you will also find the excellent country club spa hotel Combe Grove Manor, which provides fine dining, gymnasium, spa treatments, swimming facilities and tennis courts both indoor and outdoor. There is also a new development being built in the village called Mulberry Park. An award winning development of 700 new homes and currently becoming one of Bath’s finest, new residential communities. With a new primary school, children’s nursery, cafe and state-of-the-art leisure and business facilities, with further amenities to follow, Mulberry Park will also build Bath’s first new park for 100 years. The local bus service provides quarter hourly services during the day into the city. For the walkers among you Bath Spa station is a shade over 1.2 mile from the village and you are also afforded a plethora of countryside walks into an 'area of outstanding natural beauty' minutes from the village itself.
