Forester Road, Bath

Bathwick is one of Bath's most desirable residential areas, combining a friendly neighbourhood feel with remarkably easy access to the city centre, Bath Spa railway station and some excellent local schools. The houses are located a short distance from Great Pulteney Street, Sydney Gardens and Bathwick Hill, while the Kennet & Avon Canal provides a wonderful walking and cycling route through the eastern side of the city. Families are particularly well catered for, with Bathwick St Mary Primary School close by, together with King Edward's School, Bath on North Road. For younger children, Little Willows Day Nursery is conveniently located on Powlett Road in the heart of Bathwick and provides childcare from babies through to pre-school age.

There is plenty on the doorstep socially too. Bath Rugby play at the Recreation Ground, making this a particularly atmospheric part of the city on matchdays, while the Pulteney Arms on Daniel Street is a popular neighbourhood pub with sunny tables for an evening beer. Down by the river, The Bathwick Boatman is a long-established local restaurant with a lovely waterside setting. Great Pulteney Street leads directly into the city centre, with the restaurants and cafés around Pulteney Bridge and the weir just a short walk away. The combination of schools, green spaces, sport, local pubs and easy access into central Bath makes Bathwick an especially appealing place to live.

Extended and much improved by the current owners, this family home has been thoughtfully developed to create generous accommodation, including a large ground floor living space, side bay windows and an additional loft bedroom with en suite wet room that all combine to make a very appealing home.

Parking in Bath is at a premium, and this impressive block paved driveway provides valuable off street parking for two cars, while retaining an attractive frontage to the house. The handsome home features elegant bay windows with Bath stone mullions.

A wide entrance hallway with wooden flooring welcomes you into the home, with useful storage beneath the stairs and access to the principal reception rooms. The large sitting room provides a more formal living space, with generous proportions and plenty of natural light.

To the rear, the house has been thoughtfully extended to create an excellent family hub. The full width open plan space combines a contemporary kitchen with peninsula unit, generous dining area and views over the garden. Large windows and skylights flood the room with natural light, while white work surfaces, tiled flooring and quality radiators combine with the wooden flooring to create a stylish yet practical space designed for everyday family life. Full height glazing and a glazed door opening directly onto the garden terrace are particularly lovely features and provide a strong connection between the house and garden.

Modern convenience comes in the form of a large utility room off the hallway, positioned alongside the downstairs WC. There is plenty of room for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with fitted cupboards providing useful additional storage. A door from here leads into a substantial garage area, which also has double doors opening onto the driveway. This is an extremely practical space, with plenty of room for bikes and general household storage, as well as housing the boiler and water tank.

The first floor landing is bright and spacious, with a window to the side bringing natural light across the hallway and staircase. The principal bedroom sits to the front of the house, with an attractive bay window creating a lovely sense of space. Its own private shower room makes this a particularly comfortable retreat in a family home.

Also at the front of the house is the generous family bathroom, beautifully presented with attractive tiling and plenty of space. Two further double bedrooms sit quietly to the rear of the house, both enjoying pleasant views over the garden. From the landing, the staircase continues to the second floor.

The second floor creates a brilliant space for a teenager or visiting guests, with a good sized double bedroom and its own separate wet room off the landing. A rear window takes in an attractive outlook across the surrounding woodland and hills rising towards the University of Bath. It is a really useful addition to the house and completes the accommodation with four good sized bedrooms in total.

The garden is a fantastic extension of the family space, with a large terrace from the living space of the house providing plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining, complete with an outside tap and lighting, and space for storage. A step leads up to a good sized level lawn, enclosed by fencing and with a couple of established fruit trees and flower borders adding colour and height. There is also a small play area, creating a safe and practical space for children. Altogether, it is a wonderfully usable garden, equally well suited to family life, summer entertaining and relaxing outside.
