2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Church Hill Cottage, Timsbury, Bath BA2

Church Hill Cottage, is a semi detached character property, dating back to the 16th Century it's understood. Located next to St Mary Church and likely a home for persons connected to the church or land surrounding.

The property has an attractive look, in solid stone with pan tiled roof, low doors and small windows. It positioned at the end of pathway in a tucked away corner offering privacy and tranquility for residents. Located in the old part of the village and just a short stroll to the village high street. Character features abound here which will warm your heart as will the modern solar panels to help with ecology and economy.

You walk up a pathway and will find a tall wooden gate which opens to reveal the front garden and pathway that leads to the plaque namesake and wooden front door. Step inside to the hallway and you will spot the wooden winding staircase to the side. Directly in front you enter into the Kitchen/Breakfast room with a door leading into the rear garden, flagstone floors and a large stone fireplace with a big wooden beam. The kitchen has a range of fitted appliances and spaces for others. Summer days here cooking with the doors open to the garden eating outside would be wonderful.

To the side of the kitchen is an arched doorway with a solid wooden door, possibly from a church by the design of it and this leads into the Living room, with a dual aspect and a gorgeous large stone fireplace with a log burner. A solid wooden floor, a room you can cosy into with a nice cracking fire, good company and a night in.

Back along the hallway is a Bathroom with a three piece white suite. Heading up the stairway leads to a small landing. To either side are the double bedrooms. The main bedroom is spacious and again has a dual aspect, iron fireplace and has horse hair lime plaster that is painted in keeping to how it once was. It worth noting there was an en-suite in the bedroom previously that could be reinstated. The other double bedroom has windows to the front and rear, another quirky shaped room.

Heading outside, the rear garden has a westerly aspect and is surrounded by stone walls and laurel hedgerows, a private place that will be nice to potter in the garden and sit in enjoying the sunsets on an evening. The front garden is larger, fully enclosed with a large pond, and deep filled borders and shrubs trees and flowers. The outbuilding adjoining the cottage has been renovated with plaster board, power and double glazing. These offers a variety of usage options as store, study, utility or even a kitchen maybe if you knocked through from the living room. An exciting option for sure.

A great home you with such great features you can further enhance and love for many many years, especially safe for those with pets. A manageable home that many types of buyers I can see could enjoy from first homes, downsizing or investing.

The village of Timsbury is surrounded by beautiful, rolling Somerset countryside and it is such a highly regarded village to call home. There is a vibrant and welcoming community, and viewers often comment to me just how friendly everyone is. Unusually for a village of this size, it is very well-served with a Coop convenience store, a café, public house, fish & chip shop, doctors’ surgery, chemist, and hairdressers. For food lovers, there is a monthly farmers’ market at the village hall, where you can buy locally produced food, and the highly acclaimed cookery school at Vale House Kitchen. There’s a wide variety clubs and societies in the village, such as the Theatre Club and Gardening Club. For those looking for sporting activities there is a cycling club, as well a football and cricket clubs, and a gym. There is a parish church serving the community and Timsbury Primary School, recently rated as outstanding by ofsted, is a big attraction for families.
