Knoll House represents an exciting and rare opportunity to get into the village of Laverton, a highly sought-after semi-rural village between Frome and Bath.

The house itself is a very spacious and naturally bright, detached family size home which we believe to be around 100 years old.

Throughout the property there is a lot of work to carry out and so we encourage only buyers ready for a project to register interest.

The attractive front door opens into a large entrance hall with doors through to the living room, the dining room and stairs rise to the first floor. The living is a twin aspect room that spans the full depth of the home with a lovely outlook over the gardens, with floorboards under foot, double doors out to the garden and a Jet master open fireplace within an attractive Bath stone surround. The dining room also enjoys floorboards, fitted storage and a bay window overlooking the front gardens.

The kitchen is a great size and includes a range of wall and base units, an electric cooker with hob, an oil-fired Aga and lots of light. This links through to a breakfast area which is dual aspect. There is a utility space, a boot room, a pantry and a downstairs shower room. There is also a lean-to space to the side of the house.

On the first floor a light and airy landing lead to the bedrooms and bathroom, all of which enjoy views across the gardens or surrounding countryside. The master bedroom is a large double with fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and views over the gardens. Bedroom two is a very large twin aspect room with fitted wardrobes and views across the gardens. Bedroom three is a large twin aspect double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and views over the gardens and the adjoining countryside to the rear. Bedroom four is a small double with fitted wardrobes and an outlook over the fields to the rear and bedroom five is a large single room with the same view. The family bathroom is a lovely size with wooden floorboards and two large windows looking over fields.

OUTSIDE

The house is approached via a gated private driveway which leads through the gardens, across the front of the home to the double garage adjacent. The double garage has two doors to the front and beside is a storeroom and an annex/work from home area with a dual aspect room with shower room. There is comfortable parking for up to six cars.

The gardens lie flat predominantly to lawn, enjoy a good degree of privacy and various mature trees and shrubs decorate the space.

AGENT'S NOTE

Our vendors would like to be fully transparent with the fact that some of the pipework linking to the septic tank needs to be replaced. There is damp on the ground floor that needs to be remedied and some repairs to the roof cladding are now necessary.
