The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of the canal just a stones throw from the front door. They have made full use of the towpath in their time at the property and have really enjoyed it for family walks. “The children regularly play outside together and it’s a really safe and friendly environment for them. They have also found the “two good local pubs ideal for a quick drink or bite to eat when they don’t fancy cooking” really useful. The access to the M5 motorway at junction 25 has also being really beneficial.
Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors opening to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from two double built in wardrobes, providing ample storage and has windows to dual aspects. It also enjoys en suite facilities with a free-standing bath with shower over, washbasin and WC. There are two further bedrooms with one benefitting from a built-in double wardrobe and the other, an excellent size due to having been knocked into one room, previously having been two. The family shower room is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin and a large walk-in shower.
George Loves - “I really like the sense of space with this house. Everything is well proportioned and makes for a great family home. The position is also lovely, right beside the canal towpath, with some lovely walks. Bathpool really offers the best of both worlds, with easy access to the countryside, yet within easy reach of the town and various amenities. This is a textbook three-bedroom family home and offers everything you would expect from an executive detached home of this style.”
Outside, to the rear of the property there is a lovely west-facing garden, which enjoys a good degree of privacy considering the estate setting. Initially, there is a patio area which leads onto an artificial lawn, fully enclosed by timber fenced boarders and a space either side of the house for access or additional storage. There is a spacious studio/home office in the garden, which is fully equipped with power, lighting and double glazing, which could be utilised for a variety of uses. The garden aspect is ideal to soak up the afternoon sun from the west on a nice summer’s afternoon. To the front, the is a tarmac driveway, providing off road parking, and the front half of a single garage, with a roller door, providing useful storage.
