Cleeve Hill House Midford, BA2 Cleeve Hill House Midford, BA2 Freshford/Freshford Station 3 miles, Bath/Bath Spa Station 4.5 miles, Bradford-on-Avon 6.5 miles, M4 (J18) 15.5 miles (All times and distances are approximate) A beautiful and spacious Grade II listed Georgian family home, in a pretty village close to Bath.

It’s both a beautiful and historical location: there are lovely local walks with popular gastro pubs, a farm shop and public woodlands en route and two brooks that cross paths nearby. The disused viaduct and Somerset Coal Canal offer a glimpse into the area’s past as a transport hub, the nearby Combe Down Tunnel now providing a mile-long section on a Sustrans cycle route into Bath. Also nearby (and viewed from the house) is Midford Castle, a late 18th century folly castle. The House Sitting in the centre of a plot of just over an acre, Cleeve Hill House is an attractive Georgian house tucked away in an idyllic location with far reaching views of its surrounding hills. A substantial home, offering flexible accommodation, it was extended further in 2017 (by local architects whiteBOX) to create a light and spacious kitchen and orangery/dining room. Inside its side entrance, wooden floorboards extend along the hallway, with the study, stairs to a cellar, utility and WC to the left and drawing room to the right. The study features an original well (covered with reinforced glass), and gives a glimpse to this home’s varied and historical past as 16th century farm buildings, through to a Georgian home with additional Victorian, and now present-day, features. The spacious ground floor has several comfortable family rooms for multiple uses that can change through the seasons: renovated in 2015, the under floor heating, central heating and woodburner ensure the spaces are warm and cosy, while the CAT 5 cabling enables good online connections throughout. At the heart of the ground floor, the contemporary kitchen has a central island with breakfast bar, Siemens ovens, double fridge/freezer and a useful walk-in pantry. The orangery has an apex ceiling window, panelled windows on one side and three French doors on the other that open onto a west-facing patio; it’s a wonderful space. Stairs up from the drawing room lead to the first floor. There’s a garden room (or extra bedroom), so called because it has a door and steps down to the rear garden, the principal bedroom suite and dressing room, and a further bedroom and bathroom.

    JBG Cottage History and Occupants 2

    The Co'age: History and Occupants Descripon The co'age is situated to the right of the entrance gates, in the south west corner of the Jewish Burial Ground, forming part of the boundary with Greendown Place. It is a single storey, one room rectangular structure approximately 3.7m by 2.9m constructed of ooliDc limestone walls and a pitched roof covered with panDles. The co'age is entered through a plank door on the north gable end and there is a two/two sash window on the western wall fronDng Greendown Place. Internally, a plain stone surround to the fireplace remains on the eastern wall, to the right of a blocked up doorway/window. It is structurally stable but a shell. The footprint of the co'age has changed over the last two hundred years as evidence by historic maps (see below). Date On 8th April 1812, a thousand year lease on a narrow strip of “ground and demise” that was part of an adjacent Quarry, was agreed between a local Quarry owner and four members of the Bath Jewish community. The lease is preserved in the Bath Record Office and has been examined and transcribed by the Friends of the Burial Ground. It contains several references to the “land and demise”. This is evidence the co'age predates the Burial Ground and it is possible that the “de- mise” was already rented to a Quarryman. Func8on Religious FuncDon It has been assumed that the co'age had a Jewish religious funcDon.

    FOR: LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDAY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND REFERENCE: WARD BOUNDARIES IN BATH AND NORTH-EAST SOMERSET SUBMISSION ON CHANGES TO WARD BOUNDARIES BASED ON THE COMMUNITY IDENTITY OF COMBE DOWN WARD “For some, community identity could be defined by the location of public facilities such as doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, libraries or schools.” “It will certainly not be the case that merely saying that such facilities exist can justify a community identity argument. We would be looking for evidence that such facilities stimulate or provide a focus for community interaction.” LGBCE1. "There is no exact definition of what makes a neighbourhood. Local perceptions of neighbourhoods may be defined by natural dividing lines such as roads and rivers, changes in housing design or tenure, of the sense of community generated around centres such as schools, shops or transport links." Cabinet Office 2001 (ibid). SUMMARY 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has proposed changes the boundaries of the Combe Down Ward in BANES. Specifically: a. The boundary with a new Claverton Ward should cross through Combe Down village. b. Part of Widcombe Ward (Perrymead) should be included in the Combe Down Ward. c. Parts of Odd Down Ward (Hansford Square, Frome Road and St Martins) should be added to Combe Down Ward. 2. This submission rejects the first two proposals outright as impracticable and that they make no sense in the electoral representation of the residents affected by the proposals. The proposals are potentially damaging to the interests of those affected. 3. The submission reviews the third proposal and concludes that it has some merit but probably goes too far and could disadvantage the residents of St Martins who have a closer affiliation with Odd Down than Combe Down.
