The Firs Combe Down, Bath
£650,000

Description

A nicely presented three bedroom mid-terrace family home. The houses in The Firs were complete c.1904 and were built by renowned local builder Mr. Hancock. A great village location opposite the village green and just a short walk to all local amenities. The property offers plenty of potential to extend (STPP) by way of loft conversion and side return as others have done in the street. The home retains many period features throughout including some original wallpaper.

Accommodation

You enter into the entrance porch and immediately notice the original decoratively glazed door leading you into the hallway. The hallway provides access to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen diner and stairs to the first floor. It also offers the possibility of creating a ground floor WC under the stairs. The sitting room is a lovely light room with large bay window to the front aspect, stripped wooden flooring, feature fireplace and decorative cornice and ceiling rose. The dining room also offers stripped wooden flooring, original wooden cupboard to the alcove, feature fireplace and a door leading to the rear garden. The kitchen diner is a nice long room with tiled floor dining area, original wooden cupboards and exposed Bath stone surround fireplace. The kitchen area is to the rear aspect and is fitted with wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink, gas hob, integrated oven, extractor and space for appliances. There are windows to the rear and side aspect and a door to the garden.

First Floor

The first floor landing gives access to all three bedrooms and bathroom. Bedroom one is a great size room with large bay window to the front aspect overlooking the park. Bedroom two is a double in size and has built in wooden cupboards and a window to the rear aspect. Bedroom three is a good size single with feature fire place and window to the rear aspect. The bathroom is fitted with bath, washbasin and WC. Potential here to extend into the loft space as many others have done in the street. You would then create a good size double bedroom with ensuite shower room and be able to take in some beautiful far reaching valley views.

Externally

To the side of the property at the rear is a storage shed. The westerly aspect garden is laid with stone slabs with some established beds and small fruit trees. A gate to the rear leads to a path running along the terrace. Parking is found to the front of the property in marked bays.

Location

The property sits in a very peaceful central location in Combe Down adjacent to the village green. Ideal location for amenities with a minimarket, deli and doctors surgery just round the corner. Bus services to the city and beyond can also be found within a short walk. 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.

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 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 holistic spa hotel Combe Grove Manor, which provides dining, gymnasium, spa/holistic treatments, swimming facilities and tennis courts both indoor and outdoor. There is also a new development 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.
