Charlcombe Lane, Bath

A beautifully appointed and thoughtfully extended 1930s semi-detached home, brimming with character and charm, situated on the sought after Charlcombe Lane in Larkhall.

Offering approximately 1,184 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation across two floors, this attractive family home enjoys elevated views over the surrounding countryside, beautifully landscaped gardens and is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Occupying an enviable position on the edge of Larkhall, the property enjoys an elevated setting with picturesque countryside views. The front garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to maximise its outlook, featuring a sandstone paved terrace complemented by ornamental calamagrostis grasses, verbena and established roses, creating a wonderful first impression.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall where eye-catching original terracotta floor tiles immediately reflect the home's period character. To the front, the elegant bay fronted sitting room benefits from engineered oak flooring and features a suspended Chesneys wood-burning stove set within the fireplace, complemented by a striking black granite hearth.

Engineered oak flooring continues seamlessly into the central reception room and the impressive rear extension, creating a superb open plan kitchen, dining and family space. Both rooms benefit from underfloor heating, while the central reception room also offers the option of a second Chesneys wood burning stove, providing warmth and ambience. Bathed in natural light, these interconnected living spaces flow effortlessly through bi-fold doors onto the rear garden, making them ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a separate utility room located off the entrance hall, while a useful understairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the landing features a useful shelved double storage cupboard and a side window providing additional natural light. The generous principal bedroom enjoys a bay window with fitted shutters and benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room.

Bedrooms two and three are positioned to the rear, both enjoying elevated views over the garden and countryside beyond, together with built in double door storage cupboards.

The fourth bedroom, currently arranged as a home office, is a comfortable small double with fitted shelving. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

The beautifully landscaped rear garden provides an ideal setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. Immediately adjoining the kitchen is an attractive sandstone paved sun terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, with steps rising to an extensive lawn. A pathway runs alongside the lawn to a substantial concrete base in the rear corner of the garden, offering excellent potential for a garden studio, home office or shed, subject to any necessary consents.

Offered with no onward chain, this exceptional home successfully combines period charm with high quality contemporary living in one of Larkhall's most desirable locations.

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, The Village restaurant, a hardware shop, florist, independent bookshop and a Co-Operative supermarket. There are also three local pubs to choose from.

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.

The ideal semi-rural location includes plenty of lovely walks and running routes in the open countryside with plenty of nearby greenspace under a mile from Larkhall Square and within 2 miles from Bath city centre.
