This 1900 built semi-detached family home occupies a central location in the linear village of Tunley which lies a convenient six miles southwest of Bath and fourteen miles southeast of Bristol. Sitting in an elevated position above the ancient Cam valley, Tunley is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and far-reaching Somerset views. Bought by the current owners in early 2021, Hillview, has been sympathetically renovated to be a modern home which, amongst other things, boasts a self-contained one-bedroom annex. ‘Arranged over two floors, the house is spacious and perfect for the needs of a family or those who enjoy welcoming guests into the home – we’ve loved living here for these reasons.’ Knocking two rooms together to create a multi-use space – currently used as a lounge and playroom – has ensured the house works well for comfortable modern-day living.’ Just 10-minutes away from the centre of the beautiful city of Bath with its excellent shops, restaurants, bars, spa, Theatre Royal and independent schools, living here offers convenience and a quiet country life.
‘During work on the house, we restored the original floorboards in the lounge and playroom and reinstated the picture rail to bring back some of the property’s original character.’
‘Uninterrupted views of open fields and Peasedown Saint John in the distance can be enjoyed from the back of the house. The garden is laid to lawn and easy to maintain with a beautiful apple tree that provides bountiful fruit each year. The patio area adjoining the house enables one to sit and admire the garden and the excellent views.’
‘Both house and garden offer plenty of space for family gatherings and birthday parties.’
‘The position within the village is great; we have a pub opposite and country walks accessible from the front and the back of the property. The village green, complete with climbing frames, is just over the garden gate making it very convenient for those with young children.’
‘Odd Down (Bath) Park and Ride is only five minutes away by car and regular bus services run to Bath and several neighbouring villages.’
‘Our neighbours are wonderful and would do anything to help – we regularly swap fruit and vegetables over the hedge or ask to borrow things and we will really miss them when we’re gone.’
