4 bedroom semi-detached house

A four bedroom semi-detached family home built in 1900 that occupies a central location in the linear village of Tunley which lies a convenient six miles south west of Bath and fourteen miles south east of Bristol. Sitting in an elevated position above the ancient Cam valley, Tunley is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and far-reaching Somerset views. Built circa 1900 and laid-out over two floors, Hillview is a 3-4 bedroom modern home with a traditional twist featuring a rear extension, large family kitchen and attached two-storey garage building. Current owners Paul and Joanne bought the property in May 1989; ‘I have lived in Tunley all my life and knew the value of being part of a village community that is well-positioned for access so many great towns and cities: Bath, Bristol, Midsomer Norton, Frome and Wells to mention a few. It’s a very quiet and picturesque place to live and the property is centrally located opposite a fantastic village pub. The surrounding countryside is stunning and there are many local, and indeed historic, walks and sights to be enjoyed. Only five miles from the centre of Bath, you have all the amenities you could need at your fingertips – you can catch the train from Bath to London and be in the capital in 1 hour 20 minutes,’ says Paul.

‘The local schools for Tunley are St Mary’s Primary School, Timsbury, and for age 11-18 there is nearby Writhlington School and St Gregory’s School in Bath. Bath college is also easy to access. Timsbury hosts the nearest local shop, however there is a large Sainsburys only ten-minutes away on our side of Bath. There is a recreation centre in the village with a lovely park, picnic area and football pitch and a good variety of fitness and special interest classes.’

‘The size, sense of space and quality and finish of the house is excellent. It’s wonderfully private and the views are breathtaking. We have enjoyed many evenings entertaining friends and family here and have even staged some special birthday parties hosted in marquees taking up the whole garden – it’s fantastic to have this much outdoor space.’

‘The kitchen is outstanding and has always been our preferred gathering spot when spending time as a family or entertaining. The space is light and airy and leads straight onto the garden – a real stand-out feature of the house.’
