DESCRIPTION

Lovingly presented, this charming and substantial Georgian semi-detached family home has been the subject of painstaking and sensitive refurbishment by the current owners,

Tastefully decorated in Farrow and Ball’s soft and subtle shades overall, the property is rich in period detail including tall ceilings and elegant sash windows but effortlessly combines both original charm and day-to-day modern needs for comfort, convenience and quality of life.

The accommodation which is spread over four main storeys (with an attractive garden level room/office) includes a number of striking period fireplaces and a wealth of both panelled and latch doors many with their original architraves and mouldings. There are four principal bedrooms on the first and second floors with an en-suite shower room to the master and further family bathroom and separate WC.

On the ground floor visitors are met by a large and welcoming entrance hall leading through to an inner hall with an imposing staircase and three reception rooms. Stairs to the lower ground level access a stunning hand fitted and traditionally styled kitchen breakfast room with luxurious polished granite worktops and splash backs, a cream two plate ‘Aga’ and reassuringly old fashioned walk-in pantry. Also on this floor are: a separate formal dining room, utility room and further sculleries with an extremely useful access corridor to the front of the property.

To the rear of the house there a far reaching 180° views across the Widcombe Valley to the rural edge of the City beyond. The property enjoys a recently landscaped and a comparatively large lawned garden to rear, which is east facing and, unusually for Bath, has access at the far end.

In all a stunning period family home, in a highly sought after residential location within easy access of both the City Centre and Bath Spa railway station. Early viewing comes extremely highly recommended.
