Gladstone Road Combe Down, Bath
£400,000

Description

A charming and immaculately presented two bedroom terraced cottage in the heart of Combe Down village. This rank of six former quarryman's cottages were believed to have been built in the mid 1800's. They are set in a private lane and offer very peaceful living with 100ft long south facing gardens. A great location for everything the village offers with level access walks to the local shops and bus service.

Accommodation

You approach these cottages from Gladstone Road and can enter through either the front or rear aspects as a path leads along to both entrances. The gardens are to the front aspect and this particular property lies in the middle of the rank. As you enter through the front aspect you pass a lavender surrounded patio seating area and into the front porch with stable door. Once inside a door leads you through into the sitting room. The sitting room has beautiful original stripped wooden flooring with Bath stone fireplace and sash window to the front aspect. This allows plenty of natural light through making it a bright and relaxing space with views of the garden. An open door way leads you through a small hallway with the stairs rising to to your left and into the kitchen dining area. This area also has stripped wooden flooring throughout with an AGA oven set in the open fireplace and shelves to the alcoves either side. You also find a useful storage cupboard and space for a dresser.

A small step up and you find the kitchen area with floor unit shelving and wooden worktop, Butlers sink, space for a washing machine and wall mounted boiler with window to the rear aspect. An open doorway leads you to a WC and door to the rear aspect. To the first floor a small landing provides access to your left to bedroom one with bedroom two to your right. Bedroom one is again a very light and good size double room with south facing sash window, built-in storage cupboards and door to the bathroom. Bedroom two is a single room with built-in storage cupboard and door to the bathroom. The bathroom is arranged a Jack'n'Jill style with lockable doors to each bedroom. It is fitted with bath and overhead shower, washbasin and WC with storage cupboard.

Externally the southerly aspect garden has a seating area directly outside of the house with a lovely lavender border above a wooden white picket fence. A path runs through the gardens which is purely for use of the owners in the terrace and only two to the right of the property will ever pass through. Across the path is the main garden which is simply beautiful. Clearly much loved, well maintained and fully stocked throughout. The lawn winds down through the established beds to the rear where you find a small pond and a large wooden built summer house. The summer house is in very good condition and has power and light to it. There is no parking with the property but this can be found on Gladstone Road or nearby Church Road.

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.

Amenities

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.
