Situation: The property lies on the southern outskirts of the town, close to open fields and countryside with dog walks and public bridleways. It is also just a few minutes' walk from Sainsbury's supermarket and retail park. The town centre is a little over a mile away and has a famously eclectic range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and bistros together with national chains, including Marks and Spencer. The Georgian city of Bath lies approximately 13 miles away and is easily accessible by car, bus or rail.

Description: Dating from the 1800's, this substantial former coach house has been converted and stylishly appointed to create an elegant and versatile five-bedroom home with three principal receptions plus a large and fully refurbished kitchen/breakfast room, which is the heart of the house. With an electric Aga in addition to a conventional electric oven and gas hobs, this room has a traditional flagstone style floor and access to a large private courtyard area. The garden wraps around three sides of the house and incorporates a paddock area, ample parking and a horseshoe driveway. The large former stable building (in need of extensive modernisation) represents an investment opportunity for conversion to a rentable Airbnb, studio, workspace or as additional accommodation (subject to the usual planning consents).

Outside: The property is approached via a gateway leading through to a sweeping horseshoe driveway with a second gateway exiting onto an access-only lane. To the front of the house is a large stable building, which is divided into sections and is of local stone with a tiled roof. The building is in need of repair but could provide a number of possible uses including an Airbnb, studio or ancillary accommodation. The ground amounts to approximately one acre, including the footprint on which the property is standing and incorporates a large courtyard area accessed from the back of the property from the kitchen. This extends around to the side to a gravelled area with wrought iron gates leading to the driveway and the main garden. This is laid to lawn with the footing of an old greenhouse offering a potential vegetable patch next to a carport and a separately fenced small paddock area with fruit trees and a large chicken coop, all enclosed by high stone walling. There is also a separate BBQ patio beside a 15-ft children's sandpit ? an area that captures the afternoon sun all year round.

Note: There are solar panels fitted with a hot water booster.
