Dunkerton, Bath, BA2

Nestled at the junction of Crossways Lane and the Old Fosse Way, this detached house offers a unique opportunity for renovation and modernization. Holly Cottage has been cherished for many years and is now ready for new owners to breathe fresh life into it. The property requires complete refurbishment, including the installation of a central heating system and modern wiring. Additionally, there is potential for extension, particularly with the single-storey outbuildings, subject to necessary permissions. The ground floor comprises a kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, dining room, sitting room, and a study. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a bathroom, along with a narrow staircase leading to a loft room. Outside, the property features two main garden areas, including a walled garden that could be revitalized with some vision. A charming outbuilding, single garage, and wood store complement the exterior, alongside old triple-bay stable buildings. Access to a substantial metal-clad machinery shed with an upper mezzanine is available via a track that could be improved to enhance the driveway. The property also includes four paddocks and an attractive copse with various apple trees. While there is currently no water supply to the paddocks, work has commenced on a borehole that remains incomplete. Please note that the private drainage system does not meet current regulations, but plans are in place for a new private sewage treatment plant to be installed soon. The house currently relies on an oil-fired boiler located externally, which has not been tested or serviced in recent years. This property presents an exciting project for those looking to invest in a home with character and potential.
