This substantial end terrace Edwardian family home occupies a prominent position on the corner of Wellsway and Longfellow Avenue, right in the heart of sought after Bear Flat. Arranged over three storeys, the house offers generous four bedroom accommodation together with a garage, private parking and a good sized garden. Importantly, it is offered with no onward chain.
A quality front door opens into an entrance vestibule with colourful tiled flooring and decorative cornicing, before continuing into the hallway and immediately giving a sense of the period character found throughout the house. To the front is a large bay-fronted sitting room with a handsome fireplace and ample space for two generous sofas. This opens naturally into the spacious dining room, together creating a superb family and entertaining space, with exposed timber floorboards adding warmth and character.
At the rear, the accommodation opens into a generous area spanning the width of the house. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke timber cabinetry beneath extensive work surfaces, providing excellent storage and preparation space. An electric hob is cleverly positioned within the original chimney breast, creating an attractive focal point.
The kitchen opens into the side conservatory/dining room, which floods the space with natural light and provides plenty of room for family mealtimes and socialising. Doors lead directly out to the garden, while a useful utility room and large cloakroom complete the ground floor. There is also plenty of additional storage.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite shower room. The principal bedroom forms an impressive suite, with a generous double bedroom featuring a bay window, together with its own dressing room and ensuite shower room. The second and third bedrooms are both doubles and are served by the family bathroom, which is fitted with a modern white suite.
From the attractive landing, stairs rise to the converted attic, where there is an excellent fourth double bedroom. Naturally lit by a Velux window with a view along Longfellow Avenue, the room also benefits from extensive eaves storage and its own ensuite shower room. This makes an ideal guest suite, bedroom for an older child or an alternative principal bedroom.
To the front is a pretty garden with established shrubs and planting, with a pathway leading to the front door.
The rear garden is a good size and predominantly paved for easy maintenance, softened by established flower beds. Being an end terrace, the house has the considerable advantage of independent side access into the garden.
A further real benefit is the 19'4" x 8'6" garage, complete with power and lighting, a side window and a door directly into the front garden. In addition to providing excellent storage, it offers potential for use as a hobby room or home office, subject to any necessary consents. There is also a private parking space immediately in front of the garage, accessed from Longfellow Avenue.
The house enjoys an excellent position in the heart of Bear Flat, one of Bath's most popular residential neighbourhoods. The thriving local parade of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities is just moments away, making this an exceptionally convenient place to live.
Bath city centre and the mainline railway station can be reached via an attractive walk through nearby green spaces, while regular bus services provide an easy alternative. Families are particularly well served by the choice of schools, including Moorlands, St John's and Widcombe primary schools, together with Beechen Cliff and Hayesfield secondary schools.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are wonderful walks towards Widcombe, Combe Down and the surrounding countryside, while the popular Two Tunnels Greenway is also within easy reach.
