On the open market for the first time in over 50 years, Cranbrook is an extended three/four bedroom semi-detached village property with spacious and well proportioned accommodation including a self-contained annexe, delightful rear garden bordering open countryside, and ample off street parking...
This characterful 1930s semi-detached house has been extended to create a one bedroom, two storey self contained annexe on one side, and to the rear a light filled dining room opening to the kitchen. There are two further downstairs reception rooms and three good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom upstairs. Now requiring a little updating, the property offers a fantastic family home with an attractive south facing garden in a desirable location, close to local amenities and within easy reach of Bath and Frome.

A spacious entrance hall opens into a generous living room with vinyl flooring, large bay window to the front and an open fire providing a cosy focal point.

The extended kitchen connects the living room to the dining room and is fitted with a range of wall and base units and a gas fired Rayburn providing heating and hot water. The kitchen continues into a rear lobby with a glazed door to the garden. Stairs from the living room lead up to two large double bedrooms and a smaller single currently used as a hobby room. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, and there is a connecting door to the annexe.
