Cotswold View new instruction

Southdown, Bath

With the rolling fields of Bath City Farm just over the back hedge, this pretty two bedroomed end terrace home is a haven of peace on the southwestern slopes of Bath. Set in a quiet cul de sac with superb views of the city, this gorgeous home offers well planned accommodation, beautifully landscaped gardens, two off street parking spaces and all the modern conveniences you’d expect of such a recently constructed house. In brief, the accommodation comprises of; Ground Floor – sitting room with dining area, entrance hall and kitchen. First Floor – two double bedrooms and bathroom. GCH, double glazing and a delightfully landscaped west facing garden which is unusually large for the estate.

From our office in Moorland Road proceed to Lymore Avenue which is found just off Coronation Avenue. Proceed along Lymore Avenue and turn left onto the Hollow. Turn second right into Cotswold View and the property will be found on the left.

Owners Feedback – “We have really enjoyed living in cotswold view for the last five years and if it wasn’t for our growing family and jobs now based in wiltshire, we would happily stay in this peaceful and friendly cul de sac.  We hope the next owners will enjoy sitting in the garden seeing the sheep on the city farm and soaking up the great views of bath as much as we have.”

Historical Notes – Farm fields behind retain original names recorded on 1839 parish maps like Lower Lambs Sleight (“slaeget” in Old English, meaning sheep pasture), Sideland Innox ( from the Saxon “inhoke”, meaning to leave fallow) and Maidens Furlong.

Historical Notes

The Kingsway estate was built on land once part of Barrow Farm, which was purchased in 1452 by Sir Richard Choke (in 1453 appointed Henry VI’s serjeant-at-law, knighted in 1456 and one of the kings justices of the peace. Also the owner of the manor of Long Ashton in Bristol and resident at Ashton Court). Sir Richard paid £100 for Barrow Farm and the property was described as “2 houses and 180 acres in Twerton, Englishcombe and Berewe near Bath”. The annual rent for the property was a pound of pepper to the lord of Twerton.
Old field names in the Edgeworth area are recorded on the 1839 parish map as Heads Down, Gibbs Down and Bullocks Down.

New instruction in Alderley Road, Southdown, Bath

Southdown

Huge amounts of space for a family, tucked away in a cul de sac, views down into town, plenty of parking and gardens – what more do we need to say to entice you inside?  If you’re bursting at the seams in your current home, there’s 1355sqft of room here. This house boasts five bedrooms, two receptions (one over 23ft long), a massive family kitchen, bathroom and downstairs loo but a short summary like this doesn’t do justice to the accommodation on offer. There is work to do to the house – the windows do need upgrading – but this is already a very comfortable home in a quiet spot. Local shops, primary school and bus routes just around the corner on Mount Road. Cavity wall insulation completed last year.

Historical notes

The name “Lyndhurst” is an Old English name, meaning ‘Wooded hill growing with lime-trees’. The name comprises the words lind (‘lime-tree’) and hyrst (‘wooded hill’). The village of Lyndhurst in Hampshire is the administrative centre of the New Forest and a royal desmesne dating from 1270.
Lyndhurst Road in Oldfield Park was constructed from 1895 (the first ten even numbered houses). The odd numbered homes were occupied from 1896, whilst No19 first appears in 1897 as the home of Charles Jukes (a turner by trade). His neighbours at No17 were a draper called James Wild, whilst the Twerton Co-operative Society had a branch at No’s 16 and 18. The full road, to No54, was completed by 1900.
Mr Jukes inhabited the property until 1921, when Mr Reginald H.J Hunt (a local storekeeper) moved in. His tenure lasted until 1939 and he was replaced by Raymond Baldwin. Mr Baldwin occupied the property until at least 1974.
