Location
A delightful three bedroom cottage with wonderful views, set within the peaceful St Catherine Valley
Set amidst the unspoilt beauty of St Catherine Valley, The Old School House is an attractive period cottage enjoying far-reaching countryside views and a wonderfully peaceful and private setting on the outskirts of Bath.
Arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 1,650 sq ft, the property is presented in excellent condition throughout and offers well-balanced, light-filled accommodation. At the heart of the house is a spacious dual aspect kitchen/dining room, ideal for modern family living and entertaining, with three windows facing the valley. This is complemented by a generous sitting room also with a beautiful outlook across the surrounding countryside. A conservatory provides an additional reception space, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the garden and views beyond. The house has an abundance of charm and many period features, including stone mullion windows and a stone fireplace in the sitting room.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with wonderful views, alongside another comfortable bedroom and a family bathroom. A further bedroom and shower room are situated on the ground floor, accessed from a corridor leading from the kitchen.
The Old School House successfully combines period charm with practical living space, all within a stunning valley setting, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented home in a sought-after location close to Bath.
Garden
The Old School House is a particularly pretty cottage set on the hillside of the valley. Steps lead up from the roadside to the house, with a pretty gravel walkway around the house, flanked by well-stocked flower beds. The property is enhanced by an attractive front and rear garden, with a patio situated at the rear of the house, surrounded by lawn that enjoys a high degree of privacy and captures the outstanding rural outlook, making it an idyllic setting for both relaxation and entertaining. There is a view through the rear of the garden, towards historic St Catherine Court, providing an impressive backdrop.
The owner of The Old School House has a right of access for off-street parking across the lane from the house.
