Description

Situation

The highly desirable village of Combe Hay lies to the south of Bath, neighboured by equally popular villages of Wellow and Midford. The village boasts an impressive gastro pub, The Wheatsheaf and direct access to some wonderful walks along the disused railway lines and canals left over from the industrial revolution. Further amenities can be found in the neighbouring village of Wellow, which include a local village shop, primary school, public house and local church. The Georgian City of Bath is 3 miles to the north and boasts a comprehensive range of amenities, excellent schools, boutique shops, fine dining and rail links to London Paddington.


Description

This delightful Grade II listed period cottage is built with pretty stone elevations beneath a tiled roof and is positioned neatly in the middle of its gardens (approximately 1/3 acre), which gently slope down to the lane. The home has accommodation arranged over three floors which boasts many period features. On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room with feature fireplace and inset wood burner and enjoys views over the pretty front gardens. There is a Shaker style fitted kitchen with breakfast area and fitted appliances. There is a reception hall, ideal for parties or overflow informal dining from the kitchen. The dining room has an exposed stone wall and feature fireplace and there is a small but useful conservatory providing a quiet spot to relax. To the first and second floors are the bedrooms and family bathroom with the master bedroom enjoying a study leading off, which also leads to an en-suite cloakroom. This area could be made into one full en-suite (subject to the necessary permissions). The family bath and shower room boasts a stylish and contemporary suite with views of the rear garden. Both additional bedrooms have wash hand basins for extra convenience and views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Outside the property is approached off a country lane and has parking for a number of vehicles, as well as a pretty stone garage with storage above. There are stone steps and a flower scented lined pathway leading to the front of the property, where there is a paved terrace and manicured lawns. The front garden is well stocked with a number of flower beds. There is a covered store area to one side with a further pathway and level terrace to the other side. The garden slopes up to the rear but has been landscaped to provide a number of level seating areas. At the very top of the garden is a small copse backing on to local fields.
