Southlands Drive, Timsbury, Bath, BA2 0HB

Quote Reference NF0664 To Arrange Your Viewing.

Situated on the popular Southlands Drive within the village of Timsbury, a "Turn Key" Semi-detached House available to purchase. The owners of this home over the last 10 years or so have happily enhanced the property inside and out making it a beautiful place to live and enjoy. 

The houses here, date back to the 1970's so architecturally have spacious rooms and large windows allowing light to flood in. A great property the owners have taken much further, even the southerly facing garden at the rear and front gardens have been landscaped and are low maintenance. If you are looking for a home to move straight in and save money on decorating then this is the home to view. My sellers are also relocating to Scotland so need a solid buyer to purchase given the committed buying methods there. 

You enter the property via a porch which allows you access into the main house and side access to the garage. Some neighbours have converted their garages into more living accommodation, as an option for you if needed. As you enter the Living/Dining room you get a pleasant feeling of space, width and light. A room that invites you to relax and spread out. The focal fire on the wall and room for large sofas, to the far end is the dining area that looks out over the rear garden. Maybe here you can add French doors if you are itching to add your touch! Across is the kitchen, which has a fresh contrasting light green and purple colour, here you have a full range of integral appliances, views over the rear garden and a large cupboard which is a bonus for the kitchen area.

Heading upstairs, I like the way you can close off the first floor with a door in the Living Room, the stairs are split level with window to the side. The landing has a loft hatch which has a pull down ladder, even a skylight window and partial boarding. There is also a large cupboard on the landing next to the shower room that previously was a WC, the plumbing is still in situ if you wish to reinstall. 

The Shower room is modern and has a dual aspect and a large walk in shower, vanity unit with a wash basin and a WC, making day to day living easy. There are three bedrooms, if needed even the smallest can accommodate a double which is a great thing for families or if you want a spacious spare room. Each bedroom is well dressed and the second bedroom has a fitted airing cupboard.

Head outside into the enclosed rear gardens and bathe in the southerly sun, secure for pets and children as well as landscaped in a low maintenance way.  I love the large patio that sprawls out so there is plenty of room to sit out and eat, drink or children to play. There are two terraces below also, the middle section laid to shingle with wooden borders. The lower section has a large wooden shed and two raised planting beds for those of you with green fingers. 

The front garden has planted borders of shrubs in mixed colours which contrast nicely with the block paved driveway, here you can park two cars easily. The integral garage can accommodate a third car. 

In summary this is a superb home to buy that delivers so many plus points in a village that has over 14 commercial outlets as well as an Ofsted outstanding Primary school to name but a few attractions here. 

Location 

The village of Timsbury is surrounded by beautiful, rolling Somerset countryside and it is such a highly regarded village to call home. There is a vibrant and welcoming community, and viewers often comment to me just how friendly everyone is.  Unusually for a village of this size, it is very well-served with an abundance of amenities. Such as a Co-op convenience store, a café, public house, fish & chip shop, doctors’ surgery, chemist, and hairdressers to name a few.  For food lovers, there is a monthly farmers’ market at the village hall, where you can buy locally produced food, and the highly acclaimed cookery school at Vale House Kitchen.  There’s a wide variety clubs and societies in the village, such as the Theatre Club and Gardening Club.  For those looking for sporting activities there is a cycling club, as well a football and cricket clubs, and a gym. There is a parish church serving the community and Timsbury Primary School, recently rated as outstanding by OFSTED, is a big attraction for families.

Located eight miles from the World Heritage City of Bath and just twelve miles to Bristol, it’s a great base for those wanting the calmness and community of rural living, yet still within easy reach of city life when you want it.   There are regular buses and there is a train station in nearby Keynsham. You can be at Bristol Airport within 45 minutes. Heading west, you have the Mendip Hills, and the Chew Valley on your doorstep, and everything the stunning South-West has to offer.
