Berkeley Place, Combe Down, Bath

Description

You approach the contemporary architect-designed property across a shared stone-chipped driveway giving onto a generous private parking area with space for two large cars. You enter through the front door into the hallway where you are immediately met with a delightful framed glimpse of the garden through the hallway and living room bi-fold doors. The hallway provides access to the kitchen, living room, understairs WC and stairway to the first floor.

Design Statement

The original stone-built cottage formed part of a group of mid-19th century buildings in the heart of Combe Down village. The vendor's key objective was to maintain the existing building as a historic element in the village whilst providing a sensitively linked modern extension. The design of the extension uses a twin pitched traditional slated roof that relates in size and scale to those of neighbouring properties. The existing cottage provides a studio/workroom and small living room on the ground floor with an ensuite bedroom on the first floor. The cottage flows seamlessly into the new extension via a single storey glazed link. Glass is used for the linked passage to ensure a 'light touch' join between the buildings maintaining the historic integrity of the existing cottage.

Location

Combe Down sits on a level ridge approximately 1.25 mile (2 km) to the south of Bath city centre. It sits at an altitude of 500ft and hence has always been renowned for its clean air quality with many moving from the city for this reason. The village is adjoined to the north by large areas of natural woodland with public footpaths offering stunning panoramic views overlooking the city and equally gratifying views of the Cotswold (AONB) valleys to the south.
There is simply no other village like it on the outskirts of the city with such a wide range of local amenities and schooling. This makes it a very popular place for families and those looking for an area with a rural feeling but still within walking distance of the city. You will find every level of schooling in the local vicinity with three nurseries, two academy primary schools, Ralph Allen academy senior school and two independent schools in Prior Park and Monkton Combe, both with pre-prep, prep and senior schools.
