Property description
Delightful four bedroom detached eighteenth century house in the thriving village of Holcombe. The property comprises three reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, master en-suite, family bathroom, double garage, mature gardens and outbuildings.Glasses Farm is located in the village of Holcombe, to the south of Bath. There are two public houses, and Wells, Frome and Bath are accessible. Babington House is also within driving distance.This attractive home, which dates back to the eighteenth century, enjoys a picturesque setting on the edge of the thriving village of Holcombe. The current owners purchased the property in 2006, at which time it was in need of modernisation. The extensive work undertaken included sympathetic refurbishment throughout, while retaining many period features, including the impressive open fireplaces, flagstone floors and original ledge and brace doors. Improvement work included installation of a Smallbone kitchen, new bathrooms, re-plumbing; a new central heating system, a new staircase, installation of double glazing, rewiring the house and outbuildings, and extensive work to the outbuildings and driveway and courtyard. The result is beautiful and spacious family home that retains a great deal of its original features and character. Of particular note is the spacious breakfast room. It is a very light, bright room that leads straight into the kitchen, and it has lovely views of the pretty courtyard beyond.The village of Holcombe, lies in a lovely rural location, with excellent road links to Frome, Wells, Bath and Bristol.The house has a gorgeous garden that extends to around a quarter of an acre. It is a well-stocked traditional cottage garden that has mature shrubs and trees as well as bushes of raspberries, black currents and red currants, which produce a substantial crop each year. There is also a pretty courtyard area, and the garden as a whole is sunny, peaceful and very private.In addition to the main house there is a sizable barn, which is currently used as a workshop and storage area. In recent years it has been re-roofed and has the potential to be developed into anything from a home office or gym to a spacious granny annex. There is also a large red cedar double garage and large storage shed.We are moving to be closer to family, but have very much enjoyed the time at Glasses Farm and it has been an extremely happy home.
