A detached bungalow standing in lovely gardens in this beautiful, tucked away, peaceful yet most convenient position in the very heart of this thriving village. Enjoying a super open view to Little Solsbury Hill, the property offers a rare and wonderful opportunity for further development, re-modelling, extending or refurbishment - subject of course to obtaining any necessary consents.
Externally
The bungalow stands in delightful gardens, with the plot extending to approximately third of an acre. The rear garden is beautiful, enclosed (mostly by natural stone walls) and is well planted with various shrubs, flower borders, mature bushes and trees. There are 3 greenhouses (one with power), a paved terrace, outside lighting and water taps. In the corner of the garden stands a sizeable 2 storey outbuilding, believed to date back to the 18th Century and originally built as the boiler house for the greenhouses serving the adjacent Manor House. To the front of the property, the garden is laid mainly to a level lawn with shrubs and mature laurel hedging, a small stone ‘grotto’, a sun terrace and driveway parking for a number of vehicles. Garage with potting store/shed (both with power).
Location
40 Church Street is particularly well situated in the centre of Bathford, being quietly located in this sought after road adjacent to The Manor. It is within easy walking distance of the many amenities in the village (including an excellent community shop/newsagent/cafe, ‘The Crown’ public house, church, parish rooms, allotments, hairdresser, children’s playground and playing field, an ‘outstanding’ primary school, rugby and cricket clubs). The bungalow is well served by a frequent bus service to the centre of Bath (with its comprehensive range of shops and facilities) - just 3½ miles away, easy access to the M4 (both junctions 17 and 18) is available without having to cross the city, whilst delightful walks through the delightful open countryside, along the river or up in the woodland of Brown’s Folly Nature Reserve are all close at hand.
