About this property

This charming Edwardian village home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two receptions. It is located in the pretty village of Combe Hay and has superb views over the village from its enclosed garden.

Combe Hay is one of Bath’s most sought-after villages lying just 4.4 miles south of Bath Spa railway station. Walking along the picturesque country lanes you pass some impressive and handsome village homes, as well as a pretty church and an award-winning country pub, The Wheatsheaf. The village is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is in a conservation area. The neighbouring village of Wellow also has a popular country pub as well as a school and community village shop. To live in a village so close to the city centre is always popular due to Bath’s excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants, specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres. With a variety of historical sites, the city also plays host to a variety of cultural events including Bath Literature Festival and Bath International Music Festival. Bath Spa railway station provides direct access to Bristol and London Paddington (approximately 80 minutes).

Outside
The attractive façade of School House is fronted by a garden mainly laid to lawn with mature flower beds behind a low stone wall. To the side there is a cobbled drive providing parking for two cars. There are no restrictions on the lane for further parking. Railings divide the front and side courtyard, a perfect spot for a potted garden. The garden continues to the rear and is laid with stone paving bordered by herbaceous borders with a hedge and planting for privacy to the sides. A low stone wall to the rear allows the wonderful countryside view to be enjoyed whilst sitting and relaxing.

Situation
School House is an attractive detached home, built within the Edwardian era of Bath stone under a slate tiled roof with decorative fascia boards on the front gable. With a leaded canopy over the front door, it really is the most charming of village homes. The interior also retains some attractive period features including the tiled flooring in the reception hall, plus detailed coving and picture rails in the front sitting room. This cosy room has two sash windows with a pleasant aspect across the front garden plus a wood burning stove. The adjacent dining room also benefits from a fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove. The kitchen to the rear has a large picture window looking out to the enclosed garden and views of the village beyond. With plenty of units and space for a breakfast bar there is also the idea of opening into the dining room to create a more open plan space if required. The first floor houses the principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, plus two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also a spacious attic space.
