Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Bath, BA2 :

Bath Cottage is a double fronted, detached cottage, sited in the centre of the village of Peasedown St John, approximately six miles from Bath. We had thought of running a "stay cation" 'Holiday Lets' business from this cottage, and some holiday let businesses have expressed confidence in this idea, since the property offers easy access to Bath, Wells, Bristol and Longleat.The cottage is on the main road but set well back with it's own enclosed front and back gardens. Additionally it has a substantial 'PLOT' the same width as the cottage but approx. 100ft long with a detached garage at the bottom with it's own parking place. Subject to planning this plot could provide a variety of opportunities, for a new build, a granny or au pair annexe, or a spacious adventure garden with trampoline, a great wilderness garden or an allotment for fruit and vegetables, for those who want to be self supporting, perhaps with the odd chicken or too! Self builders could also build under the new 'Permitted Development' rules which Councils have been advised to encourage. The cottage is detached and believed to be about 150 yrs old, with a contemporary double storey back extension. It has been comprehensively refurbished since 2012.A complete Dutch 'Frank Schreiber' system has been installed which keeps the property ventilated but warm. It also has gas central heating and double glazing throughout.The living room has the original open stone fireplace with a double woodburner. There's a separate dining room with what is thought to be an old larder window with distant rural views.Downstairs contains a shower/utility room and a compact open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar area, with a glass door and window overlooking the back garden and distant rural views.Upstairs there are three (cottage sized!) double bedrooms with a single bedroom which could make a home office, and a bathroom with a white suite. The main back bedroom has distant rural views and inbuilt double wardrobes.The village has a complete array of local family businesses, a bakery, a butchers, a vets, doctor and dentist and Express Tesco and Co-Op within level walking distance. A coach (and petrol station) provide day trips. There are three take away outlets and a popular fish and chip shop as well as two well attended pubs! The Junior School is literally a few minutes away, and it is a well respected one. There are several very active churches. Transport links are good, with about four buses an hour to Bath, a journey taking about 20 minutes. The cottage provides easy flat access to many services, and would be ideal for a non driver.People may remember Jahmene Douglas, a contestant from a Music Reality show, he grew up in this strong family orientated village.I do hope you will find the right person, couple or family to take on Bath Cottage who can enjoy this very pretty cottage just as it is, and possibly realise it's diverse potential over time.
