4 bedroom detached house for sale

An unmodernised four bedroom house in a plot of about 0.38 acre, in a wonderfully secluded location, 0.9 miles from Bath Spa station.

Description

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a detached, unmodernised family house set in about 0.38 acres, with scope for extension and refurbishment, or potential to build a new house, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Arranged laterally over two floors, the property has excellent proportions, which allows natural light to fill the house. The ground floor has two large reception rooms with the dual aspect living room at the front of the house with views over the front garden, and a dining room at the rear, leading on to the kitchen. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a bedroom, bathroom and separate WC. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms, all excellent sizes with lovely views of the surrounding garden and views beyond.

Outside

The house sits in a very generous flat plot of about 0.38 acres, which is rare for the centre of Bath. It is well planted with mature trees which provide a lovely outlook from the house and a good deal of privacy. The plot is flat from the roadside up to the house and then begins to climb up the hillside from the rear of the property, with a number of terraced sections of garden arranged above. At the top of the garden is a now derelict stone-built outbuilding, which offers a tantalising proposition for rebuilding in some manner, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

From the roadside, the house is approached via a long gravelled driveway past the large front garden. Off street parking is available for a number of cars at the front and there is access to a garage to the side of the property.

Location

The Pines is located in a wonderfully peaceful and secluded location, in the quiet cul-de-sac of Lyncombe Vale Road, a desirable family area nestled on the southern slopes of Bath providing easy access to Bath Spa railway station, 0.9 miles away.

There are a number of excellent junior and senior schools nearby including the Paragon, Beechen Cliff, King Edward’s School, Prior Park School and Monkton Combe. There are regular bus services that run to the city centre from nearby.

Bath is a World Heritage Site famed for its Georgian architecture and Roman heritage and provides an extensive range of business, entertainment and cultural facilities along with two universities. There are well regarded schools in both the state and independent sectors.
