Three bedroom 1930’s home with open plan kitchen/diner/living room with bi-fold doors opening out to the garden, and parking for two cars, located in convenient Hansford Square, Combe Down 2.7 miles from the heart of Georgian Bath.

The vendor says: “This semi-detached house was built in 1939 and has been converted for easy 21st century living. A porch opens out to a spacious hall, leading to the heart of the home, the open plan kitchen/dining /living room. The kitchen has an island with grey speckled granite top, there are white kitchen units with an induction hob and two electric ovens, and there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, as well as sofas. Bi-fold doors across the back of the house open onto the garden and patio area, making this room light filled and such a sociable space. We have also knocked from the kitchen into the former garage so that we now have a separate utility room, housing the Worcester combi-boiler and with room for washer/drier, which can be accessed from the kitchen. There is a separate living room at the front of the house, with views from the bay window over the front garden, and Stovax wood burning stove, ideal for cosy winter evenings. Also on the ground floor is a wc under the stairs.”

“Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The principal bedroom is at the front, with a bay window, and two pairs of fitted wardrobes with cupboard space above along one wall. The second double bedroom has views over the garden. There is a family bathroom with bath and separate shower which we installed about four years ago. A cupboard with electric radiator is used as an airing cupboard. The loft is partially boarded , insulated and has electric light. This could be converted to additional living/ bedroom space, subject to relevant consents, as some of our neighbours have done.”

“Outside we have remodelled the front garden. There is access to the back garden down a path and through a gate. Parking for two cars is to the left, gravelled with Staffordshire gravel, and there is storage in the old garage. There are four quarter circle beds at each corner of the front garden with a circular bed in the middle, all planted with lavender and bulbs, dogwood and there is a pretty magnolia in the centre. The back garden has a patio area outside the bi-fold doors with room for an outside table and chairs. The garden is very private and peaceful, with Japanese privet on one side and woven panel fencing on the other and goes to a point at the bottom. It is largely laid to lawn, with a separate vegetable area, and beds of flowers and shrubs. A small greenhouse, and large shed (15’9 x 8’5) provide plenty of storage. The shed has mains electricity. The back garden faces Northwest so gets the sun in the afternoon and evening, while the sun is at the front in the morning.”

“The neighbourhood is very friendly. A Hansford Square What’s App group keeps everyone informed about social events such as the summer Street party. We are very close to amenities here, with the large Odd Down Sainsbury’s 0.4 miles away, Ralph Allen Senior School 1.7 miles away, and Combe Down Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) 1 mile away. A frequent bus service with a stop near the house goes into the town centre, as well as to RUH and to the University. We are also close to beautiful countryside, the well-known Packhorse Inn at South Stoke is 1 miles’ walk. The centre of Bath with all its unique shops, bars, restaurants and galleries is 2 miles’ walk, and Bear Flat with many cafes and bars is 1.2 miles away.”

“We have really enjoyed living in this friendly area with good access to the town and country, as well as having such a peaceful, easy house to live in, with pretty garden and parking.”
