Property Build Type

This property is a Cornish Unit house and these were designed as more permanent homes, using precast reinforced concrete components rather than conventional brick or Bath stone construction. The Foxhill estate includes Cornish Unit houses characterised by precast concrete ground-floor walls and distinctive tiled upper storeys. These were built during the wider redevelopment of Foxhill in the 1950s and 1960s. A mortgage lender may require evidence of an approved repair scheme and an appropriate PRC repair certificate. This work has been carried out on this house and the PRC certificate can be supplied by the owner. Please check with any lender required prior to viewing.

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.
