A 1930s semi-detached house with three bedrooms, open plan kitchen/diner extension leading onto decking, with gardens and fabulous views over to Bathampton, in excellent decorative order, just 1.6 miles from the centre of Georgian Bath. The property also benefits from a separate garden office.
“The large open plan kitchen/dining/living room is our favourite area in this house,” say the vendors. “The sitting room with beautiful bay window, plantation shutters, cornicing and ceiling rose, and wide oak flooring has oak folding doors which open out to the kitchen/ dining room. It is a huge open plan light space and extremely easy to live in. Six folding doors open out from the kitchen onto a deck 6 metres by 3 metres wide, where we can eat outside and enjoy the fabulous views across the valley towards Bathampton and Brown’s Folly. It is south facing, so an incredible sun trap. There are steps off the deck down to the garden and a glass balustrade – it really is a lovely place to be!”
“The kitchen is an incredibly light space. There are dark navy units with white Corian worktops. There is a Range cooker with six burners, and SMEG appliances. There are Velux windows and traditional Victorian style radiators. Off the kitchen is a stable door leading to an especially useful utility room which has space for a washing machine and tumble drier and shelving. This leads out into the garden too. There is a porch at the front of the house which is great place for coats and boots. This leads into a hall, with oak flooring. The kitchen can be accessed from both the hall and the sitting room.”
“Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is above the sitting room and has a bay window and original fireplace. The second bedroom is a double with those stunning views across the valley and sliding wardrobes, using space on either side of the chimney breast. The third bedroom is a single. All the windows are double glazed and when we bought the house we were impressed how spacious and light it was, compared to Victorian terrace houses. The bathroom is modern with a shower over the bath, and airing cupboard with Worcester boiler installed in March 2016.”
“The back garden is largely laid to lawn with a wide border of mature roses and shrubs. At the end of the garden we have created a garden office which has power and spotlights and room for two desks – it has been a game changer for me! There is also a storage area for bikes. At the front of the house there is a gravelled area, a lovely plum tree and side access to the garden at the back.”
“This has been a brilliant location for walks. The cycle path down to the River Avon is very close to our house and there are stunning walks to Bathampton and Batheaston and also up to Solsbury Hill and along Kennet and Avon canal to Bathampton Mill and the George pubs. Larkhall is 0.6 mile away, with a Co-op, excellent butcher, farm shop, and the very popular Larkhall Deli, as well as the Rose and Crown pub. Alice Park is 0.5 miles away with tennis courts and a café and a great place to meet up with local families and kids. Batheaston has Gather Café 0.7 miles away and Robbie’s Plaice Fish and chip shop. Bathampton and Bathford Primary schools both have an Outstanding Ofsted rating and Batheaston is rated Good. Bath has many excellent senior schools, both state and private.”
“This has been a great family home, close to all that central Bath has to offer, but also with a village feel and superb access to beautiful country. We love enjoying the beautiful views and the easy way of life the house offers and will be sad to leave.”
