Bathford village

A superb opportunity to buy a 3 bedroom home in the heart of Bathford village. These properties don't become available very often and this one is a cracker! 

Walking through the beautifully manicured front garden, you'll get a sense of what awaits. But before you walk in through the porch door, turn around and take in the 180 degree views across the valley towards Colerne and back towards Bath.  A superb start and if you're not sold already then step inside. The light and bright hallway offers space to store coats and shoes, which is in addition to the useful porch to the front. As you walk around into the living spaces, the home opens up into a sitting room which enjoys those fabulous views and has a lovely fireplace set quirkily off on an angle, giving character to this room. Through a wide archway and the open plan flow brings you into the large dining room, where there is more then enough space for the whole family to eat at the table. A useful hatch (they're back in fashion you know!) through to the kitchen and space for further dressers or storage units make this a very practical room. A real bonus is a stunning glass topped conservatory to the rear. An excellent size this wonderful bright space is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the garden. A wonderful daytime living room! 

The kitchen/breakfast room is larger then expected and has space for a small cafe style table to enjoy a quick coffee or snack. With so much worktop space and a double oven, any self respecting cook or baker will enjoy this area. A large larder cupboard (also very much back in favour) offers even more storage space and a doorway takes you through to a small utility area and into the downstairs WC. A side door to the garden also makes popping in and out of the garden with muddy kids, dogs and washing a more practical option. 

Upstairs, there are 3 excellent sized bedrooms. The two generous double bedrooms, take in the views either to the front or the rear over the garden and woodlands beyond. The main bedroom has an extensive range of full width built in wardrobes and bedroom 2 also benefits form a built in storage cupboard. Bedroom 3 is a great size as a very generous single or occasional double. If you work from home, then the desk would sit under the window so when you look up from your work and take in the countryside views behind. The family bathroom is a good size and has a Scandinavian style pine clad ceiling, shower over the bath and white suite. 

The gardens of this property are a real showstopper. Lovingly created and maintained, there are a variety of places to sit and relax, eat "Al fresco", or for kids to play. The sound of water flowing down the garden waterfall into the pond is so relaxing and the dry stone wall soften the fringes of the pathway. There is an area of lawn and manicured flower beds are bursting with beautiful flowers and shrubs which change throughout the seasons. The pathway winds up through the garden to the steps at the rear, which bring you up to the small access lane behind, where you will find a DOUBLE GARAGE and additional parking for 2-3 cars. Although on street parking is plentiful to the front, having additional storage and parking is a huge bonus and not common for properties in this location. The garage would also make the perfect external workshop, office space or studio and the house still has space for further extension if required (subject to planning). 

This property offers a perfect option for a family to grow in this excellent village and could also be the perfect downsize if your children have flown the nest offering space for return visits, without the huge 4 bedroom home to maintain. 

Set in a central location within Bathford village, all amenities are within walking distance. A hop, skip and a stroll away are the extensive playing fields, play park and, for longer walks, Browns Folly nature reserve. There are even further countryside areas behind the house. Bathford is one of the most sought after villages in the area, partly due to its close proximity to the Georgian city of Bath, but also due to its local community feel. Village facilities include a social club, volunteer run village shop, the popular Crown village pub which offers wonderful food options, an outstanding rated primary school, C of E Church and village hall. The buses run very regularly to Bath and the riverside walks and nature reserve on your doorstep make this a fabulous oasis in the countryside. Access to the M4 for the road network is excellent and also the main line rail station in Bath is an easy commute away. Bathford really does have it all!
