House For Sale £2,650,000
An immaculately presented Grade II Listed six bedroom family home with double garage and outbuildings.
Description
Hatfield House is a substantial and beautifully presented Grade II Listed Georgian villa located in an elevated position overlooking Bath. Concealed from the roadside, the property sits in attractive and peaceful grounds with delightful far-reaching views and provides garage parking and further outbuildings. Originally dating from the early C19th, the original Georgian house is highly impressive, and a later Victorian extension to the side has enhanced the accommodation significantly, creating an even more substantial family home. The house has been extensively refurbished throughout, whilst retaining many of its original features and a great deal of charm and character, with elegant proportions and impressive family accommodation predominantly arranged over three floors, with a separate flat on the lower ground floor.
The house is entered via a welcoming entrance hall with original stone floor, which leads through to a large hallway at the centre of the house. From here is accessed a snug/office and a Victorian conservatory which has been rebuilt by the current owners and has views of the rear garden. The house offers two wonderful reception rooms located on the ground and first floors, each three windows wide and overlooking the front garden and beyond. The first of these rooms is the sitting room on the ground floor, complete with ornate cornices and ceiling roses, working shutters and two fireplaces at either end of the room. Steps down from the sitting room lead to the kitchen designed by Harvey Jones with Fisher and Paykel white goods, and the dining room beyond with original dresser and a large lantern above allowing light to spill in. The ground floor is completed by a utility room with further Harvey Jones cabinetry and rear garden access, and a downstairs WC off the entrance hall.
The bedroom accommodation is well arranged over the upper floors with generous proportions throughout. The half landing to the first floor provides the first of two large bedrooms housed within the Victorian extension and offers a double aspect over the rear garden. Across the hallway is a large family bathroom with separate cloakroom adjacent. On the first floor is the drawing room, a splendid room with fabulous views over the city. Like the sitting room below it has three large sash windows, each with working shutters, original cornicework and tall ceilings. Two further bedrooms are situated on the half landing above, which leads to the second floor where the principal bedroom enjoys the best views of the house, across the city to Royal Crescent. Arranged across the front of the property the main bedroom has two dressing rooms and a large en suite shower room. Bedroom five is a cosy room located up a flight of stairs from the top floor landing.
In the lower ground floor is a separate studio annexe with private entrance, currently let for income generation and registered for its own council tax, but included within the Freehold title of the property. In addition is a large cellar accessed from the main house which provides useful storage and could possibly be connected to the lower ground floor annexe subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Outside
The garden is immaculately presented and has been carefully planted by the current owners. Viewed from the roadside, a large and imposing front wall runs along the front of the property with the front garden accessed by a wrought iron gate. A path leads through the lawned front garden with colourful ornamental borders and mature trees and planting which provide privacy. The garden wraps around three sides of the house, enjoying sunshine throughout the day, with a large patio/terrace positioned at the rear to make best use of the sunny aspect. The terrace is the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dining and has a summerhouse and covered entertaining area. To the rear is the double garage with electric roller doors accessed from Hatfield Road. Also set within the garden is a studio, which could be used for a multitude of purposes, as well as a covered open-sided seating area with table and chairs. There is also rear pedestrian access on to Hatfield Road.
