It now provides spacious family living in a beautiful rural location surrounded by countryside walks and easy access to the city.On the ground floor you find a large kitchen with stone tiled flooring, modern wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink, integrated double oven with electric hob and large oil powered AGA style oven. The kitchen opens up onto the living room which is a great entertaining space with feature log burner fireplace, dining area and door opening up onto the garden seating terrace. The hallway leads to the rear aspect where you find a downstairs cloakroom with a door leading to another large hallway with storage cupboards, stairs to the first floor an additional sitting room. The sitting room is a lovely light room with feature wood burner and double doors opening up onto the terraced seating area. To the first floor you find three double bedrooms, single bedroom, bathroom and separate shower room. Bedroom one provides an ensuite bathroom. All bedrooms offer beautiful elevated views of the surrounding countryside.

Externally the lower half of the garden is terraced with a large level seating area directly outside of the property. Steps then lead up through terraced well stocked beds, past a greenhouse to a lawned area at the rear. Here you find a large wooden shed and the land slopes up towards the rear corner of the plot where you can take in the surrounding views in complete privacy.To the front aspect steps lead down from the house to a stone chipped driveway with parking for two vehicles.

Location
Midford is a quaint Cotswold village approximately 3 miles (5 km) miles south of Bath. The Cam and Wellow Brooks merge in Midford to form the Midford Brook, which then flows down to join the River Avon close to the village of Monkton Combe.On the hillside above Midford is Midford Castle a late 18th-century folly castle built in the shape of the ace of clubs. The castle was built in 1775 by Henry Disney Roebuck and provides a regal sight in such wonderful woodland surroundings. To the west of the village is upper Midford. Here in 1995 plans were made to create a new plantation to be known as Millennium wood. In 2000, land between Midford, Southstoke, and Combe Hay was prepared and planted with a variety of native trees and shrubs.

This is open to the public all year round and is crossed by several public footpaths. The site overlooks the Cam brook and the restored remains of the Somerset Coal Canal as well as the 40 ft high viaduct built in 1908 that carried the Somerset & Dorset Railway line across the valleyTo the east of Midford village along the restored canal bed and towpath is Packhorse bridge, now closed to foot traffic but still intact. Further along the towpath is the fully restored Midford Aqueduct. It was the most substantial single structure built during the late 18th century Somerset Coal Canal project and was officially opened in 1803Midford is one of the starting points for a project by Sustrans (sustainable transport) organisation to link with an existing cycle route to the City of Bath via the Two Tunnels Greenway.

The project has re-opened the old Devonshire and Combe Down railway tunnels to make the 'Two Tunnels' link. This provides a unique way of travelling to Bath either by foot or bicycle and is just a one minute walk from the house. There is one public house in the village; the Hope and Anchor which is on the main road leading into the village, adjacent to the railway bridge and cycle path route. A short countryside walk away also brings you to the community run Packhorse Pub in nearby South Stoke village.During the week and on Saturday there is a regular bus service which takes you into Bath in approximately 25 minutes. There is also a limited service on a Sunday.Whilst there are no amenities locally Midford is only a 1 mile drive from Combe Down with its abundance of local schools, shops and supermarkets. You are also only a 3.5 mile drive to Bath city centre.

There is an abundance of schooling locally with Combe Down providing 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. There is a further primary school at Freshford.

    Our award winning company has been founded through a passion for property and we convey this passion in all our dealings with vendors and buyers alike. At TYNINGS we also choose to be answerable to our industry’s leading professional bodies. 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. So if you are looking to buy or sell in this beautiful city of ours then consider us your local agent.
