Property description
THE PROPERTY Avon Reach is a superbly situated, substantial split-level, individual detached family residence built of reconstituted Cotswold stone and sitting in mature, well-stocked grounds and gardens within this delightful unspoilt part of the town at the bottom of the Cutwell Valley, but is within a convenient walking distance of the towns amenities.
The well-appointed and comfortable accommodation consists briefly of reception entrance hall with oak stripped floor. From here there is access to the study, cloakroom, light and airy kitchen/breakfast room which in turn leads off through a utility room into what the owners refer to as their 'jam room'. The long dining room has a feature fireplace and two windows onto the rear garden and some steps lead down into a lower ground floor family/playroom off which is a bedroom and en-suite shower room. These two rooms could very easily be the ideal basis for a granny annexe or self contained studio flat for an au pair if required. Up a few steps from the entrance hall leads you into the impressive triple aspect drawing room, again with a feature fireplace and some delightful views. The two largest double bedrooms, one with a very spacious en-suite bathroom, is at the next level, whilst at the top of the house are two further double bedrooms with some of the best of the views towards the Church and over the garden. These bedrooms have the use of a large family bathroom.
Outside a gateway leads into a parking area fronting the detached double garage with ample space for three or four cars, the principal area of gardens and grounds face south and are a particular feature of the property. A footbridge leads onto an area of less formal garden with a number of mature specimen deciduous trees and fruit trees, and from here views can be enjoyed along the Cutwell Valley towards the Bath bridge and the Church. Accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room and the dining room is a raised semi circular terrace - the perfect area for family entertaining and al fresco meals.
DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of town proceed down Church Street, take the first turning right at the Tourist Information Office and right at the 'T' junction into West Street. At the end of West Street turn left down the hill into Cutwell and first left again and Avon Reach will be seen on the right after a few yards.
