Williamstowe Combe Down, Bath
£800,000

Description

A spacious and immaculately presented two double bedroom detached bungalow. Architect designed by Gould Architects and built in 2011 it stands on the site of a former chapel in this highly desired private cul-de-sac. A very peaceful central location in the village with west facing garden, level access driveway parking and sold with no onward chain. The Mission House design needed to be fully accessible and was planned to provide the maximum living space on the site with access to a garden. The building was designed to be highly energy-efficient, with abundant natural daylight. Cotswold limestone was used alongside natural cedar cladding to complement the character of the Conservation Area. The three pitched roofs were clad in black zinc to reference the tin tabernacle that once existed on the site.

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.
