A charming 1930`s semi detached property full of character and charm situated in Charlcombe Lane in Larkhall with elevated scenic views of the surrounding countryside, wonderfully landscaped gardens and a well maintained garage.
The landscaped front garden includes a good sized garage with its own electrical consumer unit, power and light points. A neat and tidy patio path and steps with railings leads past the garage to a canopied front porch with gated side access to the rear garden.
Once inside, the welcoming hallway has been upgraded with engineered oak flooring and includes a traditional varnished banister and attractive painted spindles. Engineered oak flooring continues into the bayed front sitting room with open slate fireplace and hearth. A naturally light kitchen dining room to the rear connects to the garden through double glazed French doors. A rear porch off the kitchen also takes you to the garden passing a ground floor WC on your way.
The first floor landing with side window leads to all three bedrooms and a refurbished bathroom. The main bedroom to the front is bayed and includes an attractive tiled open fireplace with cast iron grill. Bedroom two is also a double and bedroom three is a decent sized single currently used as an office. A tastefully presented bathroom with panelled bath and shower over completes the first floor.
A creatively designed rear garden offers seating areas to catch the sun throughout the day including a sun deck off the dining room and an elevated patio seating terrace next to the lawn. The views from the rear garden take in the surrounding countryside with a feeling of openness. An established lawn with plant and shrub borders leads to the rear passing apple and pear trees and raised beds on your way.
For those who work from home, an insulated and heated garden office studio to the rear of the garden takes in the panoramic countryside view and has its own electrical consumer unit, electrical power sockets and light points.
Being semi detached, there is gated side access to the front garden. There is also gated rear access to car parking bays for the residents of Valley View Close.
Larkhall Square is a downhill walk of half a km or so offering a range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants including the Larkhall Butchers, Goodies Deli, a greengrocers, Larkhall Deli, Ma Cuisine French bistro style restaurant, a hardware shop, an independent bookshop and a Co-Operative supermarket.
There is also a popular local theatre (The Rondo) offering a variety of programmes including comedy, theatre and music. The New Oriel Hall community centre just off Larkhall Square offers classes, workshops and community groups adding to the popularity of Larkhall. The village comes together annually in May for the Larkhall festival with a weekend of events and celebrations.
One of the reasons Larkhall is so popular is the surrounding countryside including the pretty villages of Charlcombe, Woolley and Upper Swainswick. Alice Park with its cafe, tennis courts and skate park within half a mile and the Kennet and Avon Canal is accessible by footbridge from the nearby Kensington Meadows where you can walk or cycle into Bath via Sydney Gardens or head eastwards towards Bathampton and Bradford on Avon.
Transport links include a regular city centre bus service from Larkhall Square taking you to Bath Spa train station via Camden Road. Commuters for the M4 can easily get to the A46 taking you to Junction 18 of the motorway in under 10 miles.
