Bradford Road, Combe Down, BA2

Setting the Scene

Combe Down is a highly desirable village just south of Bath, known for its tree lined roads, welcoming community and excellent range of local amenities. Everyday essentials are close at hand, including a GP practice, park, church, cosy pubs, cafés, hair salons, a delicatessen and several supermarkets.

The village is particularly popular with families, with beautiful green spaces including Rainbow Woods and the Bath Skyline Walk close by. The Hub at Mulberry Park further adds to the strong sense of community, hosting everything from fitness sessions and toddler groups to dance classes.

There is also an excellent choice of state and independent schooling nearby, including Ralph Allen, Monkton Combe, Prior Park and the well-regarded local primary school.

Bath city centre and Bath Spa railway station are approximately 1.5 miles away, with regular bus services providing an easy connection into the city. For those travelling on foot, a scenic route via Prior Park Road passes the National Trust’s Prior Park Landscape Garden and takes in far-reaching views across Bath. From Bath Spa, direct trains reach London Paddington in around 90 minutes.

The Property

Originally built in the 1950s, this three double bedroom home has undergone a complete transformation, with the current owners renovating and reconfiguring it to an impeccable standard. The result is a home that feels fresh, considered and ready to enjoy from day one. The work has gone far beyond the aesthetics, with new plumbing and a full electrical rewire, including a new fuse board, USB-C sockets and outdoor power points, with capacity for additional wiring in the future. Dual-aspect windows feature in many of the rooms, filling the house with natural light and adding to the wonderful sense of space.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generous doubles, each finished with newly fitted, luxurious carpeting. The layout now includes two bathrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a cleverly designed Jack and Jill en-suite, accessible from two points to provide flexibility for busy family life.

Downstairs, original floorboards have been carefully brought back to life and paired with contemporary porcelain floor tiles. At the heart of the home is the newly renovated kitchen, finished with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and plenty of space for family dining. There is also potential to extend the kitchen further, subject to the necessary planning permissions, with additional wiring already installed in anticipation of future plans. It is a great example of the attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the renovation.

Outside, the same care has been given to the landscaped gardens. Thoughtfully designed with a generous lawn, patio and pergola, there are distinct areas for children to play, adults to relax and friends and family to gather and entertain.
