3 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Avon Heights, Avonpark, Limpley Stoke, Bath BA2 | £ 695,000

Property Description

Three bedroom, three bathroom detached property, over 2700 square feet, with large sitting room opening out on to gardens in Avonpark Retirement village, for the over 55s, situated above the beautiful Limpley Stoke valley on the edge of the village of Winsley.
The vendor says: “We moved here 18 years ago when the house was newly built, because we were looking for something that would be easy to manage, but still spacious. Downstairs there is a long hall with a cloakroom leading off it. The hall opens out on to a study which my husband used as a workshop. There is a bedroom on the ground floor with an en suite bathroom. The kitchen overlooks the garden and has a door leading outside onto the patio area which faces west. The kitchen has a gas hob, an electric oven, a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. We also have a large dining room which opens onto the sitting room; a lovely light room with views outside onto woodland and gardens from three aspects and a fireplace which provides the focal point for the room. There are doors leading out onto the patio from this room. Under the stairs there is a large useful storage cupboard. On the stairs we currently have an electric stairlift, but this could be taken out if not required. There are two bedrooms upstairs. One of them has windows looking out to the north and to the west, an en suite bathroom and we put in a cupboard so that the eaves can be used as storage space. There is a very large dressing room which we used as a study, with room for two large desks and a table. There are fitted wardrobes in there too. The master bedroom has two windows facing south and west and a very large en suite. Both bathrooms upstairs have baths and separate showers and the bathroom downstairs has a shower above the bath.”
“Outside we have the garden which is mostly shrubs with a large fruit cage, and a small garden shed. We have a drive and a separate single garage with electronically controlled door.”
“We feel well looked after here. There are two excellent receptionists in the main building who work from 9-4pm and there are duty staff on call 24 hours a day. There is a cord you can pull or box to press and they come to help straight away – very useful when I broke my arm! They certainly are keen to accommodate any requests and do so quite happily. On site there is the original building which was a hospital for people with respiratory problems, built by Wills Tobacco, ironically. Now that houses people who need a little bit of help and they usually eat in the restaurant. Then there are some houses built before 2000 and our house is in a group of eight, with ours being the only detached one. There is also a block of flats and a dementia wing. The doctor visits twice a week and the district nurse comes on an ad hoc basis.”
“Apart from the 24 hour call service our communal facilities include communal gardens and a croquet lawn as well as the laundry, one hour’s cleaning, lawns mowed, outside lighting, the restaurant and bistro on site, and a small shop selling essential items. The residents organise a music society, a film club, supper club, scrabble and bridge. There is a thriving art group which holds exhibitions, a ‘Talks’ group has visiting speakers and there are occasional afternoon concerts. There is a bar a couple of nights a week, so it is very sociable and there is always something going on.”
“There is a shop in the village in Winsley and an excellent farm shop. The public bus goes into Bath from here and there is a mini-bus to Morrisons in Bath once a week and to Sainsbury’s in Bradford-on-Avon once a week, and other jaunts further afield are on offer.”
“Overall it is a very friendly place and we have been very happy here.”
