The Property: This superb family home begins with a long, tiled entrance vestibule and leads into the attractive hallway fitted with engineered-oak flooring, panelled cupboards and sisal stair-runner carpet.

From here, the gorgeous sitting room has 4 large sash windows (with stained glass lights over) and ceiling plasterwork. The attractive fireplace is fitted with a contemporary log-burner.

Alongside, an additional reception room is ideal as a hobby space, music room or home-office.

There is the benefit of a downstairs utility room with WC, Belfast sink and space for a washing machine. From here, the long lean-to is accessed with valuable space for logs, bicycles and garden equipment.

The stunning kitchen/dining room is a true hub to the house comprising hand-made wooden kitchen cabinets and island with polished granite worktops. There is further oak flooring and a rear bay with French doors to the garden. A dark blue AGA takes pride of place and there is an integral gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.

Bedroom 2 (to the rear) is again large in size, with a rear bay window fitted with wooden, replacement sash windows affording wonderful views across southern Bath.
