About this property

Adapted from former stables and coach house and full of character, this delightful Bath stone home has been thoughtfully adapted in more recent years to offer a highly flexible layout over three floors with an established, well-stocked and cleverly designed rear garden.

The characterful facade with its shuttered windows and climbing foliage creates an inviting first impression The main entrance door leads into a bright and airy, double aspect hall with cloaks cupboard and full depth glazing with a side door to the garden. An arch opens to a dual aspect sitting room that overlooks the rear garden and views beyond. A central fireplace has a gas coal effect fire fitted and behind the chimneybreast, stairs lead to the upper and lower floors. To the front is a study with a concealed door giving access to the former garage - now used as a hobby studio with a sink and boiler cupboard to one corner. To the rear is one of three double bedrooms with a wall of wardrobes and French doors to a charming Juliet balcony. On the first floor is the principal bedroom offering views to the south and an extensive range of fitted cupboards that extend into the dressing lobby where a door opens to an en-suite wet room. Fully tiled with a window, Velux roof light and glass screen to the shower area. Also overlooking the rear is a guest bedroom with built-in cupboards alongside the family bathroom. The floor and walls are mostly tiled with the washbasin set into a vanity unit with storage below. The lower floor comprises a further sitting room with original beams, ideal as a family room again with gas coal effect fire fitted in the fireplace and a door leading to the utility/cloakroom. To one corner is a cupboard with plumbing for stacked appliances and potential to add a shower to create an en-suite to what could be a potential fourth bedroom in the family room. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with base and wall cabinets with a peninsula unit dividing the kitchen and table areas.

Outside
With gated access to the side, the lovely split-level garden has matured beautifully over the years to provide several distinct areas with the focal point of a central pond and terrace. To one side is a gravelled seating area, sheltered by a magnificent magnolia tree providing shade when needed. With an array of well-established planting and shrubs there are two summer houses, one of which is on a raised terrace situated up a shallow flight of steps from the main garden and adjacent to the side gate to the street.

Situation
North Road is a highly desirable address with easy access to Bath University, Bath Golf Club and some of the best schools in particular King Edwards at the bottom of the hill. The university bus route is close by on Bathwick Hill with frequent buses to and from the city. The city centre is a pleasant walk benefitting from panoramic views down to the city centre, which is approximately 1.5 miles away. The city is a unique blend of old and new, offering breath-taking architecture with a cosmopolitan lifestyle. The Unesco World Heritage city hosts some of the best shops, restaurants and leisure facilities outside of London with The Bath Spa Railway Station offering high-speed services to London Paddington (approximately 80 minutes) and the Bristol International Airport only a 20 mile drive away.
