Set on the southern slopes of Bath, this spacious five-bedroom family home combines comfortable, modern living with generous outdoor space. The house offers a flexible ground-floor bedroom with en suite (used as a utility), a large 20ft sitting room with skylights and bifold doors, plus an extended dining area and well-equipped kitchen with granite worktops and island. Upstairs are four further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite and a family bathroom.
The garden is a key feature: a sunny south‑west aspect with a wrap‑around stone-tiled terrace, lawn, mature borders and a timber-framed home office with power. Gated driveway parking accommodates several cars and there are garden outbuildings for storage — practical for a growing family or someone working from home.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1930s–1940s so periodic maintenance may be needed, and the double-glazing installation date is unknown. Council tax is banded high (expensive) which should be factored into running costs. Overall, the home is well-suited to buyers seeking space, good schools nearby and easy access into Bath.
