Set high on Lansdown, this contemporary detached home (approx. 3,445 sq ft) was rebuilt to a modern specification and finished in 2015. Light-filled, triple-glazed living spaces and a full-width terrace make the middle floor an ideal entertaining hub, while panoramic easterly views and mature, landscaped gardens provide privacy and outdoor living.
The house is arranged across three flexible levels: three ensuite double bedrooms on the entrance level, a generous open-plan kitchen/living/dining area on the middle floor, and a garden level with an additional bedroom and bathroom that could be adapted into a self-contained apartment. Built-in smart-home systems, underfloor heating, MVHR, 12 PV panels, rainwater harvesting and an EV charging point give genuinely strong running-cost and sustainability credentials.
Practical strengths include an in-and-out driveway, double garage, internal dumb waiter, plentiful built-in storage and a dedicated plant room for services. The layout suits multi-generational families, home-working professionals and buyers seeking a low‑energy, high-spec family home close to Bath’s schools and green walks.
Buyers should note some practical caveats: broadband speeds are reported slow, council tax is high (Band G), and parts of the property description reference stone walls with assumed lack of insulation —buyers should confirm construction details and any remedial insulation work required. While finished to a high standard, adaptation of the garden level into a fully independent apartment would require planning and partitioning works.
