1 Bedrooms Flat for sale in 1/2 Bed - North Road, Combe Down, Bath BA2 | £ 260,000

Property Description

This top-floor, one-bedroom apartment forms part of a converted Victorian semi, and is situated within the popular village suburb of Combe Down. Only a five-minute drive from Bath city-centre, the apartment offers modern living within an attractive rural setting.

Guide price £260,000 - £270,000. The property is located half-way along North Road, which links Odd Down with Claverton Down. It is situated directly opposite the protected Firs Field meadowland, which provides the apartment with enviable views, and a sense of countryside tranquillity. The property further benefits from an attached residents parking area, within which the owners of the apartment have an allocated space.

The interior of the apartment is characteristic of its architectural heritage, with high, sloped ceilings. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining room is the ideal space in which to entertain friends and family, or to unwind after a long day. A neutral décor combined with ceiling spotlights creates a clean and modern feel, and understated kitchen units run the length of the room, offering plenty of work and storage space. The window overlooks the meadowland, and would make a lovely spot for a window seat in which to curl up and read, or to enjoy an evening drink.

The master bedroom easily fits a double bed, wardrobe and dresser, and could be reconfigured in a couple of ways. The bathroom suite consists of a shower over bath, basin and toilet, and is illuminated by natural light from the ceiling window.

A major benefit of this apartment is the two additional reception spaces. This includes a room which is currently being used as home-study, and an attic-style storage area. Please note that, whilst this second space could be used as an occasional guest room, it is not suitable to be classified as a bedroom. There is also a practical entry-hall, with room for shoes and coats.

Combe Down truly is the ideal location for city-dwellers who want to be able to enjoy the countryside on their doorstep. The village offers an array of local amenities including several public houses, a co-operative, a delicatessen with coffee shop, a pharmacy, a fish and chip takeaway, a hair salon, a garage, a doctors surgery and a dentists surgery. There is also a village rugby union and cricket club. For walkers and outdoors enthusiasts, there is a large area of natural woodland to the north of the village, which also forms part of the Bath Skyline Trail. Two Tunnels Greenway – the longest cycle tunnel in Britain – also runs through the village.

There is an array of local schools, including Combe Down Primary, Ralph Allen Secondary, and the independent Monkton Combe and Prior Park schools. There are daily bus services into Bath city-centre, which in turn offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants and cafes, bars and coffee houses, museums, chain and independent cinemas, theatres, and fantastic leisure facilities.

For commuters, Bath Spa Train Station offers a direct line to London Paddington, Bristol and South Wales. Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately eight miles to the north of the city via the A46, and Bristol airport is approximately eighteen miles to the west.
