£800,000

Description

A much loved and well maintained family home in this highly desired residential cul-de-sac. A very peaceful location with easy access to local amenities, schooling and bus service to the city. The property offers the potential to extend as many others have done in the street. Westerly aspect garden with large garage, driveway parking and sold with no onward chain.

Accommodation

You enter the property into the porch with a further door leading you into the hallway. The hallway provides access to the sitting room, kitchen, stairs to the first floor and WC. The sitting room is light and spacious with feature fireplace, glazed doors opening up onto the sun room and a further opening through to the dining room. The sun room is again a light room overlooking the garden with a door opening onto a patio area. The dining room also overlooks the garden to the rear with a door to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with dated wall and floor units, although immaculately kept, with worktop, inset sink, double electric oven and space for appliances. A door leads to the utility room which is a space between the house and the garage with a door either end leading to the driveway and rear garden. Space and plumbing for a washing machine here.

First Floor

To the first floor the landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a very good size with dual aspect windows, front and rear, and plenty of built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is another good size double room with dual aspect windows and a washbasin on vanity unit in the corner of the room. Bedroom three is a good size single room with window to the rear aspect. The family bathroom is immaculate with bath and shower overhead with glass screen, pedestal washbasin and WC.

Externally

The westerly aspect garden is laid to lawn with established beds, shrubs and small trees. A gate to the rear of the garden leads you to what is know locally as Pope's Walk and this path takes you back to Combe Down village or down to Widcombe in the city. To the front of the property the paver driveway provides parking for a number of vehicles and gives access to the garage. The garage is a very good size at 32' in length and others have utilised these as separate annex accommodation if required.

Location

Priory Close is a sought after location on the southern fringe of the city. It is particularly popular for families with children attending either Prior Park or Monkton Schools. 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 Co-op/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 fine 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 an 'area of outstanding natural beauty' minutes from the village itself.
