The house was last sold in 2016 and has been completely renovated and extended by the current owners to a high standard in the period around 2019. The result is a superb home combining open living space across the back to the garden, large bedrooms, useful work spaces, and comfortable living room. The gardens have been levelled and trees carefully planted. Planning remains in tact should a buyer wish to extend further into the loft.

The house begins with a hallway with attractive staircase giving access to all the rooms. The office to the front is perfect for working from home or that fifth bedroom on the ground floor with access to shower if desired. The playroom is perfect for the gamers in the family to have some play space. The original Crittal french doors windows have been restored and repurposed to let light into the hallway. The sitting room is a calm and peaceful space with a large wood burner to create a cosy night in during winter. There is also a downstairs shower room.

The house benefits from underfloor heating to the new areas, with spaces arranged into separate heating zones. The entire property has been fitted with triple glazed Velfac windows and doors, while the central heating system was replaced as part of the renovation works. The light wooden flooring has been thoughtfully chosen, enhancing the overall sense of space and light.

Across the rear of the house is a light and spacious open plan design, with bi-fold doors opening out onto the terrace. The Emerson Living kitchen sits to one end, complemented by a neatly tucked away utility room. This layout is ideal for everyday living and entertaining friends and family, whether for coffee, dinner or outdoor gatherings. There is ample space for dining, as well as an additional snug area providing a second seating space with room for a sofa and television.

Upstairs there is ample space with a landing that has high ceilings and electrically operated Velux windows. There is a master bedroom with amazing views up to the Camden hills taking in Bath's stunning architecture as well as a dressing room and en suite shower room. The other bedrooms are large with views to the front and garden. The bathroom is modern and well fitted and perfect for any young family.

The gardens have been carefully levelled and are enlosed by fences. There are red robins and amelanchier trees creating screening and colour through the year. The lawn is perfect for the trampoline and to kick the ball while the terrace is a large area to relax in summer. A side passage connects to the front garden. At the front the lawn sets the house well back from the road with more trees to the side. There is also a secret allotment garden tucked off the driveway with raised beds. Parking is a breeze with ample space for several cars.
