Church Lane Monkton Combe, Bath
£950,000

Description

A very spacious five bedroom detached cottage that now offers potential to refurbish and adapt the living accommodation. The current arrangement has allowed for two dwellers but could be reconfigured to provide a spacious family home. Set in a peaceful countryside location, opposite the local church, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It sits on a 0.15 acre plot and provides stunning far reaching rural views across the valley. Driveway parking and two garages, easy access to the city and sold with no onward chain.

Accommodation

The current layout is quite unconventional as the property has been used as two separate dwellings. You enter the property through the right hand front door into a hallway. The hallway provide access to all rooms on the ground floor and stairs to the first floor. The ground floor currently provides four bedrooms, two shower rooms, one bathroom, utility room, kitchen and reception room. The first floor provides a spacious living to the rear aspect with large window affording those beautiful far reaching rural views across the valley. Adjacent to the living room you find a kitchen with a door leading to what has been used as a large dining room with exposed stone walls. A door leads you through to a very spacious principal bedroom with a door leading to a large roof terrace providing a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views and countryside ambience. The principal bedroom is fitted with two banks of storage cupboards and a fitted desk area. A door leads you to a shower room with WC. As a single dwelling the property could be reconfigured and provides the option of flipping the living layout depending on how you wish to live.

Externally

The southerly aspect garden is laid to lawn bordered by established shrubs with a stone laid patio area to the rear of the house. On the west aspect of the house you find a large garage with vaulted roof which might have potential as a large kitchen dining area, workshop or studio/office. To the east aspect you find a driveway with parking for two vehicles and a further good size garage.

Location

This property is situated centrally in the village next to St. Martin's Court which is a now converted former brewery. It sits opposite St. Michael's church which was re-built in the 1800's and is the final resting place of Sir Harry Patch, the last remaining survivor of WWI. It is a very peaceful rural location surrounded by open countryside yet approximately 3 miles to the south of the city of Bath. Nearby Combe Down offers an abundance of amenities with small supermarkets, deli, post office, doctors, dentists and all levels of schooling. Within Monkton Combe village is the acclaimed gastro pub/restaurant The Wheelwrights Arms, the highly regarded Monkton Combe senior school and St. Michael’s church. The pre-prep and prep school are also nearby in Combe Down. A countryside walk away is the Kennet & Avon canal with cafe and boat/cycle hire available to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Nearby you will also find the excellent country club Combe Grove Manor Spa Hotel, which provides holistic treatments, gymnasium, swimming facilities and tennis courts. There is also a petrol station with Spar mini-market nearby. Nearby 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 600ft 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.
