Warminster Road, Bath, Somerset, BA2

This deceptively large bay-fronted semi-detached property, with extensive multi-level gardens and breathtaking views towards Solsbury Hill, must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Built in the mid-twentieth century, it is arranged over three floors, comprising four bedrooms on the ground and first floors, with a wonderful front-to-back open-plan living space leading to a balcony on the first floor. The lower ground floor features an attractive kitchen diner, leading to the garden via bi-fold doors, a pantry, and a utility room. Conveniently located within walking distance of a range of attractions and amenities – including the Kennet & Avon Canal, beautiful Sydney Gardens, the Holburne Museum and café, the city centre, and excellent schools – this ideal family home boasts a prime location. The current owner explains what attracted him to the property: ‘It’s a truly superb location in terms of convenience, and once inside or in the large garden, it’s hard to believe this is a city home, as it feels very countryfied.’ While the house itself offers all the features of a modern home, its outstanding attributes are the stunning vistas, incredible sunsets, and the garden with areas suited to different moods and activities. ‘The whole back of the house is elevated, and the views from every window and the two balconies are incredible. Having lived here, I don’t think I could ever move to a house without a big view.’ Regarding the garden, he says, ‘what makes the garden so brilliant is its different levels – one lawn, one a fruit tree woodland, and the other the perfect place to hide away and toast marshmallows on a firepit.’

‘I’ve re-landscaped the drive at the front and the rear outdoor space to cater for three cars and provide a functional, family-friendly garden.’

‘A favourite room is the spacious sitting room – the views from both ends are so green. The balcony, with its glass balustrade, is a great addition.’

‘There is potential to enlarge the house by extending into the loft or to the rear, subject to the correct permissions.’

‘We enjoy seeing the local wildlife, from deer passing through the garden to birds of prey circling the big skies.’

‘The house is in a friendly, social neighbourhood with a WhatsApp group for sharing information.’

‘The area attracts a range of people associated with the university and families, as the local schools are excellent – King Edwards is just a short walk away.’
