A detached family house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, double garage and off-street parking, pretty and secluded gardens, conveniently located in North Road, 0.2 miles from King Edward’s school and only 0.7 miles from the centre of Bath.

The vendor says: “The location of the house is brilliant, with a lovely walk through Sydney Gardens passed the Holburne Museum and along Great Pulteney Street into town.” Stableford House, which was built in 1967, is set well back from the road and approached through wrought iron gates. There is a resin bound driveway with parking for several cars as well as a double garage. The front garden is planted with colourful shrubs. The entrance hall opens onto the dual aspect dining room; “We have hosted up to sixteen in this room for family Christmas parties,” says the vendor. On the other side of the hall is a beautiful double aspect room with space for a piano and two sofas, and a stone fireplace with gas log effect fire, with built in Neville Johnson units either side of the fireplace. The sitting room opens onto a beautiful sun-room with double doors leading straight out to the garden, and a decked seating/dining area outside. “This has been a great house for entertaining,” says the vendor, “We have had many lovely summer parties and barbeques on the terrace – it is a real sun trap.” Off the sitting room is a generous utility room with sink and room for washing machine and tumble drier. This leads out to the double garage on one side and to the garden on the other. The kitchen has fitted cream units with black granite worktop, an island unit with Neff induction hob and oven below and free standing Samsung fridge freezer, as well as doors leading out to the garden. In addition, on the ground floor there is a wet room with travertine floor, tiled walls, wash hand basin and wc.

Upstairs the principal bedroom suite is a beautiful light filled dual aspect room with high ceiling and views to the front and the garden at the back. There is a beautifully fitted wet room en suite, as well as lift access from the ground floor in the utility room. There are two further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, as well as a single bedroom, currently used as a study. The family bathroom has a bath, separate shower, wc and wash hand basin.

Outside the pretty south-west facing rear garden has decking extending from the kitchen across to the sun-room with plenty of room for a table and chairs, and then steps down to the lawn with three silver birch trees. Well stocked borders burst with spring bulbs, tulips and roses and a mature rose climbs the back of the house. There is side access from the front drive round to the back garden with a useful garden shed at the side of the house.
