Ashley Road, Bathford Village

Views and location all rolled into one ! A rare opportunity to acquire a 4 bedroom semi detached home in the historic heart of Ashley road in Bathford village. A non estate position, with huge potential to move in and then simply improve and upgrade over time, whilst making it yours. 

As you enter the spacious hall, you can already see the views at the rear, but lets focus on the accommodation for now. There is some excellent under-stairs storage to hide away your coats and shoes and then the living room opens up on the right. A spacious room with light flooding through the half bay window and a focal point with brick built fireplace and inset electric fire. There is plenty of space a variety of sofa seating arrangements and you can cosy up around the fireplace in the evenings. To the rear is a clean and modern kitchen which is in great condition and includes a double eye level oven, and beautiful views from the kitchen sink. There is room for a dining table and a lean to conservatory/ sun room also includes a utility area to one side with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The remainder of the sun room currently acts as a further dining space but could be used for simply enjoying the views beyond with some comfy seating and a coffee . 

Upstairs to the first floor, and you will find two excellent double bedrooms, both with a wide range of built in wardrobes and views across the older cottages to the front or the open valley views to the rear. The family bathroom includes a shower offer an easy access bath. A small study room to the front could potentially be adapted to an en suite to the main bedroom, but in the meantime offers a tucked away spot for a desk. 

On upwards again into the dormer style loft conversion, and you will find two further bedrooms. Both are generous singles or small doubles and include further built in storage cupboards and wardrobes. Once again both rooms have views across the playing fields and over the valley, or across the village rooftops. 

Outside to the rear there is a lovely garden which is mostly laid as patio for low maintenance and although not the largest for a property of this size, you have the most fantastic open aspect across the playing fields giving you a sense of space. Watch the cricket in the summer and rugby in the winter, all from the comfort of your own deckchair or from the warmth of your conservatory. Kids needing more space? No bother as we have an equipped play area over to the side of the playing fields which you can even see from that deckchair in the garden if you need to keep an eye on them! In addition, there are also riverside and countryside walks very close by if you have dogs to exercise. 

The single garage is currently in need of some repair, and could arguably be removed to create more garden space as you have plenty of parking for 2-4 cars on the driveway at the front and to the side of the property. 

Bathford village is one of the most sought-after Bath villages, with its excellent primary school, village events, and local amenities which include a local community-run shop and post office with a small cafe area just a few steps away from this cottage. Additionally, the Bathford club and local pub are within walking distance, along with the historic church, hall, and active community. The village benefits from an active rugby and cricket club with large playing fields and a children's park. Countryside walks are in abundance in the areas which include the Browns Folly nature reserve and canal side walks over to Bathampton. The bus service is frequent (around every 20 minutes) into Bath and the road access to the M4 at J18 is straightforward being on the right side of Bath for easy access. Overall a great village community with all the benefits of Bath city centre easily accessible.  

All main services are connected.
