A substantial 143ft by 62ft south facing terraced rear garden offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The property is perfectly habitable but would benefit from some modernisation and should appeal to those looking to put their own stamp on it.

To the right, a bayed sitting room also with floor to ceiling double glazed bayed windows and original window shutters opens into a second reception / dining area with French doors to the garden.
The kitchen to the rear includes integrated appliances and a Worcester gas boiler to the chimney opening. A utility room beyond the kitchen has a side door to the garden and leads to a shower room.

The bathroom is accessed from the half landing on your way to the first floor where you will find four good sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The bayed front bedrooms offer a wonderful view towards Lower Shockerwick, Bannerdown and St Catherine.
Bathford is a thriving village with a real sense of community spirit. Local amenities include a village shop, an outstanding primary school, Avonvale Rugby Club and Bathford Cricket Club. Transport links include a regular bus service to and from Bath city centre and the village is well placed for access to the M4.
Browne`s Folly, locally known as `the Pepper Pot`, is literally on the doorstep. Owned by the Avon Wildlife Trust, this 40 hectare site is perfect for walking the dog or taking the kids out for an adventure. Other nearby greenspaces include Solsbury Hill, Bathampton Meadows, the Kennet & Avon Canal and the Limestone Link walk connecting the Cotswolds to the Mendips with the pretty village of St Catherine along the route.

AGENTS NOTE:
A 5 year treatment plan for Japanese Knotweed to the top right hand corner of the rear garden began in 2021. We hold a copy of this treatment programme on file and are able to share this with interested parties. A completion certificate and 10 year guarantee is projected to be issued by November 2025. It is worthy of note that in the surveyors professional opinion, the existence of the plants pose no risk whatsoever of causing damage to any part of the property and the real risk associated with the outbreak of Japanese Knotweed on the property is considered extremely low.
