NO ONWARD CHAIN – Located in the popular village of Ashley, with far reaching views over the Bybrook Valley and only 6 miles from Bath City Centre, this four-bedroom detached property has potential to update and develop (subject to consents) to create a substantial family home with a generous garden to the rear. 

As you enter the property via a useful porch a spacious central entrance hall gives access to the ground floor accommodation and staircase to the first floor. Overlooking the front aspect and measuring 17’ 9” x 12’ 5” is the sitting room. The sitting room benefits from an abundance of natural light due to its southerly aspect and a feature fireplace with gas fire. Double doors from the sitting room lead to the dining room which overlooks the rear garden through a conservatory. The dining room has potential to be reconfigured / extended to combine the current kitchen to create a modern open plan kitchen-diner / family room that opens out to the rear garden. Currently overlooking the rear the garden, the kitchen comprises of fitted wall and base units, integrated gas hob and electric oven, whilst a separate utility room and storage area positioned behind the garage has further scope to be developed. To complete the ground floor an integral garage offers further storage space and measures 15’ 11” x 12’ 11”. With the relevant consents, the garage could be converted to provide further accommodation such as a ground floor bedroom with ensuite. 

Stairs to the first floor give access to all four bedrooms, comprising three generous double bedrooms and one single bedroom. Bedroom one benefits from double doors that split the room to create a separate dressing area. However, the current owners use this space as an elevated reception room.  Bedroom two has potential to incorporate the second bathroom to create a large ensuite whilst bedroom three overlooks the rear garden with far reaching views over the Bybrook Valley. To complete the first floor, two separate family bathrooms overlook the rear, one with a bath and one with a separate shower cubicle. 

Externally, the property sits on a generous corner plot with gardens front and rear. The front garden is full of established plants and colour with off street parking available on the gated driveway. The rear garden has truly been cared for and meticulously maintained over the years. An arrangement of plants, flowers and shrubbery makes for a wonderful place to enjoy the stunning views all year round, whilst a lawn and patio area make for a great spot to enjoy al-fresco dining. Finally, a second garage is accessible from the garden which could be converted to a garden studio / work from home office.
