Property description
A corner plot link detached property backing onto woodland and with views towards the city. Situated in a highly desired cul-de-sac this property is now in need of some modernisation. This could be a comfortable family home providing peaceful surroundings yet still a convenient distance from the city and with no onward chain.

From here you can also access the dining room to the rear which affords views across the rear garden and adjoining woodland. Glazed wooden doors open up onto the ample lounge with dual aspect windows and double doors to the rear garden patio area.Upstairs on the first floor you find three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom again has dual aspect windows to front and rear with lovely views across farmland and towards the city. Bedroom two is also the same and a good size double. Bedroom three also has views to the rear aspect and is a good size single with the possibility of fitting a double bed if needed.Outside the gardens encircle the house and are mainly laid to lawn with established rockery to the front, shrubs and hedgerow. To the rear is a stone wall boundary with adjoining woodland and adjacent farmland. During the winter months there are views to be had across the beautiful city of Bath.
