Property Summary
Period four bedroom semi-detached house on the edge of Timsbury with views over the Cam Valley. The house is within walking distance of village amenities and 6.9 miles from the centre of Georgian Bath.
The vendors say: “We have lived in this old miner’s cottage, which was built in 1860’s, for two years, and are only moving due to a change in family circumstances. The kitchen extension was brand new when we moved in and the main access door at the back of the house opens into this lovely bright room with three skylight windows. There is plenty of space for a dining table here. The kitchen leads through to the open plan sitting/dining room which is a very versatile space. The main feature of the room is an original stone fireplace to which we have added a wood burning stove, making it a very sociable space. Due to the amount of space in the living room it is easy to change up depending on what occasion we are using it for. The front aspect of the house has unobstructed views on to a field with sheep but the house is called Valley View because of the views of the Cam Valley in the distance from the back of the house.”
“The bedroom downstairs has an en suite wet room and its own entrance, so is great for independent living within the house and could be used for a teenager, an older relative or as a holiday let. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the master has lovely country views, and a modern family bathroom.”
“The gardens at the back of the house are laid to lawn with flower beds and a stone outbuilding currently used for storage. The driveway, shared with the attached neighbours, has two allocated parking spaces.”
The centre of Timsbury is only one third of a mile away and is a lively community, with a chemist, a doctors’ surgery, two shops (one of which includes a post office), a primary school, ‘The Seven Stars’ pub, a renowned fish and chip shop ‘Our Plaice’, ‘Connie’s Tea Room’, and a village hall. Cricket and football teams, indoor bowls, snooker and a tennis court are also on offer. ‘Vale House Kitchen’ is 0.9 miles away, a bespoke country skills and cookery school, and The Pig hotel and restaurant is 3.4 miles away. The centre of Bristol is 12.4 miles away and it is 6.9 miles to the centre of Bath. M4 Junction 18 is approximately 18 miles away.
“We have loved living here as the house has so much to offer and is in such a great countryside location. We were planning to stay here for years to come but a change in family circumstances requires us to move closer to family. We hope another family will enjoy living at Valley View as much as we have!”
