Description
Colworth is an Edwardian Arts & Crafts inspired home built in 1908 and having never come to the market in its history. A five bedroom detached double fronted property standing on a large plot it has been a much loved family home. It is somewhat of a rarity having been partly constructed of red brick which is an oddity to find in Bath. Its Arts & Crafts inspiration can be seen in the façade with stained glass windows, tall pitched roof, stone mullion windows, gable end timber framing and decorative brick bonding. You will find generous accommodation across three floors and many period features throughout this property. To the ground floor you enter into the spacious and homely entrance hallway and the accommodation comprises sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen, pantry and shower room. To the first floor you find five bedrooms, four with feature fireplaces, with bathroom and separate WC. The second floor provides large landing with two storage cupboards and further large attic room with cupboard. With refurbishment now required it presents a fantastic investment opportunity for the right person to restore it back to being a grand village family home. The current layout could be reconfigured (STPP) more akin to modern family living requirements with possible extension to the rear providing open-plan living/dining area. Furthermore the attic is an area that could also be converted for further living accommodation too and provide additional bedroom if needed. Externally there is plenty of off-street parking with garage and workshop if also required. The large level rear garden extends to approx. 200' and will amply accommodate family games and other activities.The property is centrally located in the village opposite the village green and play park, The Firs Field.
