Bailbrook Lane, Bath

*** Viewings from Saturday 12th September ***

This 1930's semi detached property on the east side of Bath occupies an elevated position in a sought after location with beautiful far reaching views. It is a peaceful spot on an 'access only' lane linking Batheaston to Larkhall, only 2½ miles from the city centre. The various shops and amenities within Batheaston are just a short walk away with a wider variety of independent shops and cafes available in Larkhall. To the rear of the house there are lovely walks up Solsbury Hill or through the beautiful village of North End. Access to the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath is a stones throw away providing the perfect running, walking or cycling route into the city centre or in the other direction, slightly further afield, to Bradford on Avon. The property is well served by a frequent bus service to and from the city centre or to other local towns such as Corsham, Chippenham, Trowbridge and Box further to the east.

The property itself offers circa 940 sqft of well appointed accommodation over two floors and an established south facing front garden with patio area to enjoy the impressive views. The property has retained period features including sanded and treated floorboards throughout the ground floor and four attractive glaze tiled, open fireplaces in the principal rooms. At the foot of the front garden, there is a generously proportioned garage with electric power sockets and light point. A stepped garden path to the side of the garage leads up to a small patio area with gated access to the terraced front garden.

A front entrance porch with terracotta tiled floor opens in to the entrance hallway. The hallway takes you straight in to the modern, open plan kitchen diner which forms the heart of the home. It is a spacious area with breakfast bar, space for dining table, ample storage and built in appliances. The original tiled fire place provides a lovely focal point to the room and the double doors, especially when thrown open extends this room onto the spacious patio area at the rear, a welcome shady space in the summer months. The bay fronted sitting room with original eye catching glazed tiled fireplace is at the front of the property. This is a light and bright room where the stunning views across the valley can be admired.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a bay fronted, south facing principal bedroom with a panoramic view, a second spacious double bedroom with three sets of fitted double doored wardrobes, a smaller third bedroom to the front that makes for an excellent work from home office and a tastefully refurbished bathroom is to the rear.

The rear garden has a patio seating terrace off the kitchen dining room with a stepped garden path to the upper terrace with gated access to rear lane, perfect for blackberrying in the summer months.

Batheaston is surrounded by beautiful countryside including Solsbury Hill, Bathampton Meadows and the Kennet & Avon Canal which provide a beautiful setting for scenic walks and cycling. The village also benefits from a regular Bath city centre bus service. Batheaston also hosts a range of shops and amenities including a pharmacy, doctors surgery, hairdressers, three convenience stores including Post Office, dental surgery, renowned fish and chip restaurant, public house and an excellent cafe. With access to the River Avon from the village many local residents enjoy canoeing, paddle boarding and kayaking from the river at Batheaston.
