4 bedroom detached house

On the market for the first time in 43 years, this unique, architect-designed family home was built in 1978. Its style and decor has original 1970s features and fittings such as a stone fireplace, wooden panelling and built-in wardrobes. The property is immaculate, well maintained and decorated mostly in white throughout, maximising the light that floods in from its abundance of windows on all aspects.

The entrance hall has a glazed wall and extended ceiling height – it is situated on a level between the upper and lower ground floors – creating a dramatic entrance.

On the upper floor, a galleried landing leads to the main living accommodation. The living room, dining room and kitchen all have far-reaching views across Bath to the hills beyond, the generous windows designed to maximise the panorama. There are also three bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor.
The principal bedroom suite is on the lower floor - views from windows are onto the garden (this floor is at ground level in real terms). The workshop offers flexible accommodation: its two large windows overlook the garden and it has door access directly into the garage.

Gardens and Grounds
Access from Bloomfield Road is via a shared driveway, onto number 175's private drive where there's parking for multiple cars, plus space for two more in the double garage. The gardens can be reached on either side of the driveway, stairs lead up on one side to a path that runs the length of the garden in one direction and wraps back around the house in the other.

The uninterrupted views offered by the elevated position of this property continues in the outside spaces. The garden feels more like a park, its sweeping banks, lawns, mature trees and well-placed shrubs forming various garden 'rooms' and its hedged boundary bordering conservation land. At the rear, there are several outbuildings, including two woodstores, a shed, greenhouse and a composting area.

Services
We are advised that mains water, electricity, gas and drainage are connected to the property.
