Description

A very nicely presented four bedroom detached home located in one of the most desired villages on the outskirts of the city. Set on a 0.2 acre plot it offers beautiful gardens with some far reaching countryside views. An idyllic and peaceful place to live with the property offering versatile accommodation for the family market, downsizers or those with the need for a separate annex. You approach onto the gravel driveway which gives access to the large car port, the house at this level and stone steps that lead you up to the main entrance. You enter into the hallway which provides access to all rooms at this level. The living room is to the front aspect, overlooking the garden, which makes it a light room with feature fireplace, bespoke built cupboards and shelves to the alcoves and glazed double doors leading out onto the garden. The kitchen diner is a spacious affair with the kitchen area fitted with modern wall and floor units with granite worktop, inset Butlers sink, induction hob with extractor, double oven, dishwasher with plenty of dining space to entertain. A door leads through to a large utility room with floor units with worktop, inset sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a door leading to the side garden.

From the hallway you also have access to bedrooms one and four, a separate WC, storage cupboard, family bathroom and stairs to the lower floor. You enter bedroom one into a dressing room area fitted with bespoke wooden built wardrobes and on into the bedroom with further built-in wardrobes and dual aspect windows. The family bathroom is fitted with bath and wall mounted shower, with glass screen, washbasin and WC. The landing leads you to a staircase which takes you down to the lower level it also has loft access, with a retractable ladder to the loft room. The loft room is fully boarded, carpeted and painted, with power, light and two rooflights. It should be quite straightforward to build staircase access to this space. On the lower level you find two further double bedrooms and a shower room. Bedroom two has a door leading outside to the driveway which could present the opportunity to utilise this level as a separate private annex.

Externally the gardens are a delight, fully stocked and very well maintained. There is a stone slab laid patio area to the front and side aspects with either steps or a slope with rail leading down onto the main lawned area. To the side aspect you'll find a large pond and wooden built summer house. A haven to watch the wildlife and take in the surrounding countryside views whilst enjoying the peaceful nature of this village.

Location

South Stoke is a hidden gem being a small picturesque village situated on the southern fringes of the city of Bath. It is located 2 miles (3 km) south of the city. The village is in a designated Conservation Area and the buildings are mainly built with cream oolitic limestone. There are no less than 27 listed structures in and around the immediate village, which has retained much of its original character and historic appeal. The village has in recent times been made famous by the villager’s successful campaign to buy back their beloved Pack Horse pub. Through community funding and national/international press coverage the pub re-opened in 2018 and the result is a true testament to everyone’s efforts. A thriving and friendly village pub which is a must see should you visit the area.

The local church is situated centrally in the village and dedicated to St James it dates from the 12th century. Although the village has a very rural secluded feeling it is also very usefully only 1/3 mile to the nearest bus stop to the city and ½ mile to the nearest local supermarket and petrol station. You also have Combe Down village nearby with its abundance of amenities, shops and all levels of schooling. The village provides views over the surrounding countryside and is the starting point for many country walks. A popular route is to visit other villages and their pubs in the area, such as Combe Hay and Midford, via the now disused Somerset Coal Canal. You may also like to visit the nearby Millennium Viewpoint which is a stone seated beauty spot providing far reaching views towards the Westbury White Horse hill and beyond.
