3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A highly appealing double fronted semi-detached Victorian house situated in an exceptionally peaceful and private setting in Dunkerton Village, providing well proportioned living space over two floors including three double bedrooms and presented in excellent order.

Set in mature, well-maintained gardens to front and rear, the property enjoys outstanding all round views from a stunning elevated position, most notably the remarkable southerly aspect view to the front across the Cam Brook Valley and All Saints Church Tower. 

The house has been the subject of thoughtfully planned extension, alteration and improvement. As a result, the well presented accommodation provides three double bedrooms, cosy living room with log burner, dining room, full width kitchen with both modern electric and solid fuel RAYBURN ovens and utility area. There is also an impressive and well equipped large first floor bath/shower room, and ground floor cloakroom.

There are numerous period features including cast iron fireplaces and care has been taken to retain the character of the house as it has been developed and refurbished, such as the retention of traditional door furniture and effective use of panelled doors and painted wood panelling. There is obvious scope to extend further to the rear to suit individual requirements, subject to the usual consents being obtained.  

A key feature of this property is the outbuildings. Set away from the lane below and on the rear garden boundary, there is a 4.9m x 4.6m garage/workshop and double width hardstanding, an adjacent small detached stone building (which also has potential for conversion), and a greenhouse..

Additional features include electric heating by way of energy efficient ROINTE radiators, with the kitchen RAYBURN providing an excellent additional heat source in the winter. Photovoltaic (PV) roof panels support hot water provision, and a sheltered rear terrace which provides an excellent spot for outside dining in this lovely setting.

Dunkerton has a  vibrant village community, with the Listed 14th Century All Saints Church at its heart. It is sited to the south west of Bath city centre, and is one of a cluster of pretty villages in this part of Bath, which includes Priston, Tunley, Combe Hay, Wellow and South Stoke.  The schools and amenities on the south side of the city are only around three miles distant, with a shorter journey to Peasedown St John as an alternative for convenience stores, Doctors and Veterinary Surgeries, and Primary School and Nursery, which attained a 'Good' OFSTED rating in 2023. 

This is an exceptional opportunity for buyers who seek a peaceful rural environment yet wish to have just a short drive to Bath. It is a fine example of a location where the change in seasons in a natural landscape can be enjoyed with 'a grandstand view'. There is a public footpath running past the house, highlighting this as a perfect location for dog walkers and ramblers. There are regular buses into the city from where Church Lane meets the main road (A367), and Odd Down Park and Ride is only 2.4 miles distant.
