A character packed three double bedroom former stone miner's cottage in the heart of Combe Down village. Period features throughout providing a very homely feeling to the property and with separate detached garage/workshop. Close to all local amenities, schooling and bus service to the city.

Description
A delightful period cottage situated at the top of a highly sought after road in the centre of the village. The property offers period features throughout with large sitting room and kitchen diner to the ground floor and three double bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor. Externally the terraced rear garden provides a studio/office and you will also find a detached garage/workshop close by.

Ground Floor
You enter into to a small entrance hallway which provides access to the sitting room and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a spacious cosy room with large Bath stone fireplace with gas fire burner and cupboards and shelves to the alcoves. Stripped wooden flooring throughout with an original door leading to the kitchen diner. The kitchen diner is another spacious room with stripped wood and tiled flooring. Modern wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink drainer and space for appliances. A door leads to the rear garden.

First Floor
To the first floor the split level landing gives access to the three double bedrooms and bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with bath, walk-in shower, washbasin and WC.

Externally
The rear garden is terraced with many different facets. To the rear of the house you find a paved seating area with wooden shed. Further on from here a path leads to another shed and the studio/office. This is a wooden structure and with some modernisation could provide a useful home office. Stone steps lead up to another terrace seating area which provides some nice far reaching views. There is also gated access to Church Road from here and this seating area could also provide off-street parking for one vehicle.

Garage
A stone built detached garage/workshop is situated approx 20m along from the property. Probably constructed originally for someone mechanically minded as it has a repair pit inside and makes for a very useful and practical workshop.

Location
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, two pharmacies, highly reputed car garage, award winning delicatessen, fish and chip shop, hair salon, builders merchants, beauty therapist, bakery and Co-op 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 country club spa hotel Combe Grove Manor, which provides fine dining, gymnasium, spa treatments, swimming facilities and tennis courts both indoor and outdoor. There is also a new development being built in the village called Mulberry Park.

As members of The Property Ombudsman we maintain the highest professional standards by conforming to the guidelines that are set. This ensures our clients are protected and it is a clear sign that you are dealing with a thoroughly reputable and respected agent. In 2018 the inaugural Bath Property Awards were held in the city at the Apex hotel. TYNINGS were shortlisted in the Residential Agent group along with independent, national and international agents. We were crowned winners of the group by a panel of twelve property professional judges who remarked that ‘It was a record year for a husband and wife team working extremely hard to succeed in a tough market. It is a very impressive story for a small business.’ It was a very proud moment for the whole team and an award that keeps us striving to maintain a high level of service and success for all our clients. Our record of success has been built upon a strong desire to provide our clients with an exemplary personal service, delivered by highly motivated and trained staff. The result of this success is the fact that a large proportion of our business is gained through referrals, satisfied clients who have recommended us locally to colleagues, friends and family. Through this a number of properties are sold off-market to registered applicants on our database and so we always advise buyers to register their details and search criteria with us over the phone or online. We have a broad sales area encompassing the historic city of Bath and all the surrounding villages. Based in Combe Down, to the south of the city, we are the most instructed agent in this area and through this we are able to provide unrivalled knowledge of the local market. We guide both buyers and sellers through the sales process every step of the way and advise on every aspect of the journey.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
