Description

This charming property was built in the Edwardian period in 1909. Whilst once commanding a prominent location in the village and stunning views across the Midford valley, it retains many of its period features. Externally you are greeted with the stone crenelated parapet lining the roof and large stone bay windowed frontage displaying quoins and cornice string course. Internally this home retains original features including ornate fireplace, high ceilings and angular walls. There is a real sense of space and comfort in this family home with the ground floor providing two light south facing reception rooms, kitchen/diner with pantry and utility room with the sunroom providing a separate WC. To the first floor there are two very good size double bedrooms to the front aspect, smaller double bedroom and a single bedroom with a family shower room. Stairs from here lead up to a large roof terrace with far reaching panoramic views.

Externally

To the rear of the house you find a stone slab laid patio seating area with a path leading you past a lawn laid area. Other gardens in the row of four houses end at this point, providing a 75ft garden, but the owners of this property purchased a large plot to the rear some years ago. This now extends a further 175ft providing a garden, or plot, 250ft in length. This additional plot is laid to lawn with a path leading to the rear where you find a good size stone built garage and large driveway. It is secured with a wooden gate which opens up onto an access lane at the rear which inturn leads back to Entry Hill. The plot offers a multitude of uses or development potential.

Development Potential

The plot to the rear was purchased in addition to the original house. In the rank of four properties this is the only property with off-street parking and a substantial plot to the rear. This plot could potentially be developed with a further dwelling(s) and then separate title(s) (STPP). It has its own access via a lane to the rear which leads back to Entry Hill. Currently there is a detached garage with ample driveway parking for a number of vehicles.

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, pharmacy, highly reputed car garage, award winning delicatessen, fish and chip shop, hair salon, builders merchants, beauty therapist, bakery and Nisa 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 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 the Cotswold 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' minutes from the village itself.
