The property is also well positioned for excellent local schools, including the nearby Moorlands Infant and Junior Schools, as well as a selection of private schools in Bath.
Description Number 85, originally constructed in 1928, is a charming and characterful home that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for several decades.
