This property presents a significant development opportunity within the picturesque Midford Valley, ideally situated just 3 miles from Bath city centre. Currently, this four-bedroom detached house, originally built in the 1800s as the Station Master's residence, has been extended over time but is now in need of substantial repair. With recently granted planning permission for demolition and the construction of a new four-bedroom home, this offers an investor or developer the chance to create a bespoke family residence tailored to modern living standards while taking advantage of the stunning countryside views.
The existing building sits on a generous 0.3-acre plot and is surrounded by mature trees, providing privacy and natural beauty. The current structure has suffered from poor insulation, complex roof forms, and maintenance challenges that could hinder potential refurbishment efforts. Instead, creating a new dwelling would not only help overcome these issues but also significantly enhance energy efficiency with contemporary building techniques.
The approved plans suggest an L-shaped design that optimizes natural light and ventilation, while retaining essential access points for vehicular movement. This site not only boasts historical charm but also promises a vibrant community atmosphere with local amenities accessible in Combe Down village. With various public footpaths nearby and easy transport links to Bath, this property is well-positioned for those looking to combine rural tranquility with urban convenience.
