House For Sale £685,000
A beautifully presented three bedroom, two bathroom mid-terrace Georgian style modern home with a garden in Holburne Park development, in Bathwick, Bath just 0.9 miles walk from the centre of Georgian Bath.
The current owner, an interior decorator and stylist, has added some traditional features into this high specification new build home such as panelling and a fireplace, as well as wallpapers and paint colours to cleverly combine charm and style with the ease of living in a new home. “We wanted to avoid the on-going upkeep costs we have experienced with period properties before but feel we have achieved the right balance by using our newly built house as a blank canvas for making a warm and welcoming home which combines both practicality and aestheticism.” This home is truly a unique and stylish property, with all the advantages of a home newly built to a high standard.
The vendor says: “A hall with limed oak flooring leads into the house; this flooring is throughout the whole downstairs and has the benefit of underfloor heating. There are coat racks, an under stairs cupboard and useful downstairs cloakroom. The hall leads into an open plan kitchen/dining room which is a very flexible and practical space. We really enjoy our beautiful Neptune kitchen painted with natural colours, and with larder, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/drier, induction hob with extractor over, instant hot water tap, and panelled walls which give the space a cosy feel. We have added more storage here and shelving to really make the most of the space. There is an arch into the living/dining room area. We have added a fireplace which really brings the room alive and added more storage to hide toys and paperwork. We have moved our large dining table to the back of the house so that this area now becomes the dining area, but the space is versatile, and it could be arranged differently. There is an electric wood burner effect fire framed by a Chesney Devonshire fire surround. Double doors open out onto the lovely south facing garden and the room is flooded with light from this and the window in this room.”
“Upstairs there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has doors leading onto a south facing balcony and views over the garden. There is an en suite bathroom with large shower, and the bedroom has two built in wardrobes. The second bedroom also has built in wardrobes. The family bathroom is tiled and has a bath with shower over it. There is a useful attic space, boarded and with lighting.”
“Outside the lovely sunny garden has a patio area with plenty of room for a table and chairs and is partly laid to lawn. The garden feels very private as it has a high stone wall at the end and is a perfect entertaining space. There are two off road parking spaces at the front of the house as well as visitors’ parking on the estate.”
“The attention to detail has been a really good feature in this house, with high standard of finish and excellent kitchen and bathrooms, as well as double glazing, a Vent-Axia air purifier system, and low energy bills.”
“The location here has been brilliant. There is a back route down behind the development for lovely walks along the Kennet and Avon canal. Bath Boating station, Bath Golf Club and the Health and Wellbeing Club at Bath Spa Hotel are within walking distance. We often walk down to the lovely café at Holburne Museum (0.6 miles) or to Sydney Gardens which has tennis courts and a playground. Rainbow Wood at the top of nearby Widcombe Hill is another favourite place to walk. Bathwick St Mary’s School is 0.4 miles away and Bathampton Primary School and Widcombe Primary School are also nearby. King Edward’s School is within walking distance (0.3 miles) and Prior Park, Beechen Cliff, Kingswood, Monkton Combe, Ralph Allen, and the Royal High School are within a five mile radius. It is 1.3 miles to Bath Spa station and journey time to London Paddington is 1 hour and 18 minutes, and the centre of Georgian Bath is 0.9 miles walk.”
“We have been so lucky to live in this elegant, beautiful and practical home in a location which gives us both the delights of the city and gorgeous country walks as well.”
