Nestled in the sought-after village of Combe Hay, this attractive Edwardian/early 20th-century detached home combines period charm with practical family space. The front sitting room and dining room retain original features including coving, picture rails and fireplaces; both reception rooms have wood burning stoves for cosy, economical evenings. The kitchen overlooks the enclosed rear garden and offers scope to open into the dining room for a more modern, open-plan layout.
On the first floor the principal bedroom includes an ensuite; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the living accommodation. There is also a spacious attic, offering potential for conversion subject to permissions. Outside, the property sits behind a low stone wall with a lawned front garden, cobbled drive for two cars and a low-maintenance paved rear garden that enjoys pleasant countryside views.
Practical considerations include electric storage heating (main fuel: electricity) and solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation, which may mean higher running costs unless upgraded. Shared private drainage with a neighbouring property and an expensive Council Tax band (Band F) are important factual points for buyers to note. The house is in a conservation area and in a low-crime, affluent rural setting, about 4.4 miles from Bath Spa station.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled village house with parking and garden, and those willing to invest modestly to improve energy performance or to reconfigure interior spaces for contemporary living.
