Description:

DELIGHTFUL PERIOD HOUSE, quietly situated in a NO THROUGH LANE near the centre of this popular village. Sympathetically updated, the property retains a WEALTH OF CHARACTER FEATURES and offers versatile accommodation. DRIVEWAY WITH GARAGE with potential for conversion to a STUDIO OR WORKSHOP (subject to pp). Established walled gardens.

Believed to date from the mid c.1630's with later addition in c.1750, Spring Grove is a delightful Grade II listed double fronted period house quietly situated in a 'no through lane' near the centre of this most popular village. Meticulously and thoughtfully restored by the present owners during the last seventeen years, the property retains a wealth of original and character features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces, mullion windows and flagstone floors and offers versatile accommodation arranged over three floors plus useful cellar. In all there are 5 / 6 bedrooms, a wonderful bath / dressing room with free standing bath, shower room, 24' farmhouse kitchen and laundry room. The property is complemented by a very private, established walled garden to the rear with a delightful sun terrace and external staircase giving access to the first floor balcony and drawing room. A driveway to the front offers parking and leads to a garage, originally a former coach house/stables which could be converted to possibly provide a studio/workshop (subject to planning permission).

Spring Grove is situated in a cul de sac, with aspect towards St Thomas a Becket church with far reaching views to the countryside beyond, close to the centre of this popular village, within walking distance of the many local amenities which include a junior school, village stores, supermarket, pharmacy, traditional butchers, doctors surgery and several public houses. There are numerous footpaths and country walks closeby. This thriving village is only c.5 Miles from Bath with its extensive cultural, leisure, shopping facilities and excellent range of restaurants. There are also excellent communication links to London, Bristol and the West Country via the M4 motorway junctions 17 & 18, with high speed rail service to London (Paddington - approx 90 mins from Bath) and Chippenham.
