Combeside, Lyncombe Vale Road, Bath, Somerset BA2

Built in 1980, number four Combeside is one of four detached properties in this quiet cul de sac. A generous hallway rises to a landing with a WC and under stairs storage. The ground-floor living spaces (excluding the kitchen) have wooden floorboards and glazed doors that allow each room to be used independently or opened to create a more flowing layout. The living room overlooks the front garden, featuring a wood burner set flush into the wall.

To the rear, a light filled 2016 extension includes the music room, which offers built in storage and shelving, and the adjoining playroom/study. The kitchen is a bright space, fitted with dove grey cabinetry, granite worktops and a gas range cooker. The dining room opens onto a south facing deck, enhancing the home’s indoor–outdoor connection. A utility room sits to the rear of the kitchen with access to the terrace.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms — two en suite — along with a family bathroom. The rear en suite bedroom enjoys extra large Velux windows and a glazed door opening onto a Juliet balcony, while the front en-suite bedroom benefits from built in wardrobes and a wooden balcony.

The property sits within a tranquil, green setting surrounded by mature planting. At the front, hedging and pathways mark the boundaries of the four houses, creating an open and natural feel. There is parking for several cars on the driveway and in front of the garage, which also has an electric vehicle charging point. An office adjoins the garage, with a decked terrace above. The south-facing front garden is mainly lawned, with further garden extending beyond a brook into an orchard area with apple trees.

A path leads to the rear terraces, arranged across several levels with gravel beds, mature shrubs and small trees. The upper decked terrace includes the swimming pool, surrounded by composite decking, and a garden cabin with a kitchenette area and WC. A discreet fruit cage sits to one side, and a gate at the top of the plot provides access to a footpath leading to Greenway Lane.

Combeside is a peaceful cul de sac on Bath’s sought after southern slopes, set within the semi rural landscape of Lyncombe Vale. The area offers beautiful walking and cycling routes including Alexandra Park, the Two Tunnels Sustrans Way, National Trust Prior Park and the Bath Skyline trail. Local amenities on Bear Flat are close at hand, and both Widcombe and Bath Spa Station are within a short walk.

Widcombe offers a thriving community with a social club, pubs, cafés, supermarket, pharmacy and independent shops. Bath itself provides extensive cultural and leisure amenities, from restaurants, galleries and theatres to Bath Rugby and the Thermae Spa. High-speed rail services run from Bath Spa to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads.
