A variety of lovely walks may be enjoyed locally and the property is well positioned for access to nearby schools including The Royal High, Kingswood and St. Stephen's Primary.

Description
Charlcombe Manor dates in part from the late 17th Century and, as such, is both highly historic and a very rare property in Bath, it is believed that this is the only Jacobean house of its kind in Bath.
Entering the house via the front door, you are greeted by a generous entrance hall. To your right this leads through to a wonderful dining room; beautiful features include Jacobean style cornicing, stone mullioned windows and ashlar stone fireplace.
To the left side of the hall is a second spacious reception room which is currently being used as a gym, but could easily make a further sitting room, study or even an extra bedroom.
Further down the hall, on the right hand side, is the magnificent and elegant drawing room. A bay window with central French door gives fine views of the grounds and adjoining countryside.
To the rear of the hall is a stone staircase with carpeted runner leading to the upper floors. Just beyond, is a cloakroom. To the left side is the kitchen with a comprehensive range of fitted bespoke cream kitchen units with granite worktops and appliances which include double integrated fridges and freezers below, Miele built-in oven and microwave, Falcon range cooker and integrated dishwasher.
To the rear of the kitchen you enter the rear lobby with access out to the side garden and also the boiler room. There is a very handy store room, ideal for recycling and extra family storage. There is also a laundry room with plumbing for a washing machine, dryer and a range of units.
The staircase leads you to the first floor accommodation. Here you find a further superb reception room which could easily make an additional bedroom, if required. This room has the most fantastic views down into the valley. There is another stone fireplace with beautiful cornicing and a Juliet balcony.
The wonderful master bedroom is also on this level with an en suite bathroom which includes both a large corner bath and a separate shower cubicle. A bespoke sink unit with marble top completes the room. Also on the landing is the family bathroom with a contemporary style suite and there is a doorway that allows access externally to Charlcombe Lane.
The top floor provides three really great bedrooms for kids with the benefit of a contemporary style bathroom. From bedroom four there is a access into a good sized attic space, which could be converted with necessary planning consent.
Externally
The house is in a private setting and accessed from Charlcombe Lane via stone pillared gates and a long gravel drive, culminating in a large, gravelled area to the western side of the house.
You are immediately struck by the elevated position of the house with the ground below and breath-taking views of the valley and the village of Charlcombe. There is fine box hedging which flanks a range of beautiful roses. The driveway continues to the far end of the house where you find a good-sized double garage which has both light and power
A perfect terrace, ideal for summer dining and enjoying the views, is easily accessed from the back door to the kitchen and, in addition, there is a lovely summer house.
Steps lead down from some beautiful decorative iron work railings to a lower terraced garden which to one side is laid mainly to lawn. To the other side is a breath-taking Japanese garden with a beautiful pond which could quite easily be converted to a swimming pool as it is currently heated for our clients’ koi carp. The plants within the Japanese garden are of particular note and include some beautiful acers.
