About the property:
Situated close to the Bath and West Showground, The Shambles is a post war bungalow of non-traditional construction, comprising spacious two-bedroom accommodation with a large garden of just over half an acre. The property is in need of redevelopment or modernisation. An additional stone barn has scope for conversion into a two-storey dwelling, subject to planning.
About the inside:
The bungalow is spacious and benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing. A glazed side porch opens into the dual aspect dining room which opens into a modest kitchen area with space for an electric cooker. A large living room enjoys views to the garden at the front, and fields behind, and is warmed by a large wood burning stove. Beyond the living room is the main entrance hall and front door, and two large double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The main bedroom spans the depth of the bungalow and has fabulous far-reaching views. A recently fitted wet room completes the accommodation.
About the outside:
The entrance to the property is off Prestleigh Hill with a large parking area in front of the barn. The garden sits to the front of the bungalow and consists of a large lawn with a beautiful walnut tree taking centre stage and stunning far-reaching views to the east. Towards the bottom of the garden is an orchard of plum and apple trees, greenhouse, shed and former vegetable garden.
The stone barn consists of a two-storey building with the first floor accessed by a ladder, and a single storey workshop, both with wooden double doors providing access. The barn lends itself for conversion to a two-storey dwelling, subject to planning.
