Lyncombe Vale Road, Bath, BA2

Lyncombe Vale Road is located on the southern slopes of the city within walking distance of Bath Spa railway station, close to the Paragon School and Prior Park College, as well as excellent state schools including the highly regarded Widcombe junior school and Beechen Cliff.      This sought-after area provides a semi-rural feel close to open countryside but is still only a walk away from the village atmosphere of nearby Widcombe with its cafés, convenience store and popular pubs.   The two tunnels cycle path towards Midford and Wellow is accessed from the end of the road.

The amenities of the city centre offer a wonderful array of chain and independent retail outlets, many fine restaurants, cafés and wine bars along with a number of cultural activities including a world-famous international music and literary festival, the Theatre Royal, a selection of museums and art galleries and the attractions at The Roman Baths and Pump Rooms.

World class sporting facilities are available at nearby Bath Rugby and Cricket Clubs and at Bath University and there are excellent spa and gym facilities at The Gainsborough, The Royal Crescent, The Priory and Combe Grove Manor Hotels. 

Communications include a direct line to London Paddington, Bristol and South Wales from Bath Spa railway station. The M4 Motorway (Junction 18) is 10 miles to the north and Bristol Airport is approximately 18 miles to the west. 

Description 

Entering the house via the front door you are greeted by a generous entrance hall.  To your left is a downstairs cloakroom and in front of you is a good-sized understairs cupboard. 

On from here you find the wonderful split level reception area which provides a dining area incorporating a rooflight and bifold doors to the gardens.  Three steps lead up to the most wonderful sitting room which feels modern and stylish.  Centrally there is a wood burning stove to the right side of which are useful bookshelves, and to the left side a very attractive exposed stone wall. 

Back to the dining area, this leads through to a superb kitchen with rooflight and bifold doors out to the garden, giving a great sense of light and space.   The kitchen is well-fitted with a range of grey and blue units with timber block worktops.  Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher and integrated fridge freezer. 

Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a well-designed family bathroom.  The bath has a good quality shower over with double attachments and there is attractive yellow brick bond tiling. 

There are some extremely attractive views of the surrounding area from the first floor. 

Externally 

Large timber gates open to a gravel driveway area sufficient to park a car should you require. This gravel area is highly attractive and a real sun trap. To the left side is a really useful outbuilding with sedum roof. The building is split into sections; one part offering a workshop and storeroom and the far section is a superb art studio. This has attractive timber flooring, underfloor heating and is double glazed.  Subject to any planning permissions needed, the studio could be enlarged to incorporate the store room. 

The gardens are particularly attractive at The New Coach House.   From the level of the house, steps take you up to a beautiful terrace which has a pergola cloaked in a mature vine.  This is an ideal spot for summer drinks and dining and to enjoy the views.  The gardens then take you up through various terraced areas which have fine trees and shrubs. At the top of the garden is an amazing timber summerhouse which our client uses as a work space. From here you have the most dramatic views of the surrounding trees in the Vale. A pathway then leads to a further seating area which has an old barrelled roof ashlar stone surround.
