Eastbourne Avenue, Bath, BA1

Eastbourne Avenue is a popular location between Camden and Larkhall. A Silver Birch tree in the front garden offers privacy and an attractive dappled outlook over the neighbouring houses to Little Solsbury and beyond. The sitting room to the front is well-proportioned with a large bay sash window, plus a central period fireplace. The open plan living to the adjacent reception room is stylish divided by fashionable back Crittall doors allowing the space to be used as one or two rooms as required,; a very clever interior design solution. The open plan kitchen/dining/living space top the rear is a super room for family life as well as entertaining; and with access to the garden, it offers the space that is on most buyers’ wish list. The kitchen includes sleek pale grey units beneath a Corian work surface. A window the width of the room looks out onto the garden and adjacent is a garden room/utility area, neatly presented with a door out to the level enclosed garden. The first floor houses the three bedrooms and luxury bathroom. The light and airy principal bedroom has two tall sash windows with views through the leaves, the second bedroom is also a good size double bedroom with aspect over the garden and to the south of Bath and has a pretty period fireplace. There is also a smaller bedroom also benefitting from the rear outlook. To complete the picture is a beautifully styled bathroom with a free-standing slipper bath, unique basin and fixtures brought together by smart tiling. There is potential to convert the roof space, as others have done in the terrace, subject to the usual planning consents.

Outside

The house is approached by a small front garden with a central Silver Birch tree offering privacy and a leafy aspect. The garden to the rear is level, a rare commodity in Bath. It is enclosed and laid to lawn with attractive planting including shrubs and trees adding colour and interest. Adjacent to the kitchen is a paved terrace, perfect for outside dining.

Situation

This popular neighbourhood is close to the city centre. In an elevated position on the northern slope of the city it has a far reaching view across neighbouring roof tops and further to the hills surrounding Bath. The sought after ‘village in the city’ that is Larkhall, is down the road and is popular due to its number of amenities including primary and secondary schools, a church, a small supermarket, butchers, grocers, delicatessen, French café and even an independent theatre, The Rondo. Just up the road is Camden, also benefitting from amenities including a popular local pub. There is a regular bus route, however it is an attractive walk with stunning views along the way via Camden Road and down Lansdown Road into the Milsom Street. Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles north, so excellent access from the house. There are regular high speed train services from Bath Spa Railway Station to London Paddington (approximately 80 minutes).
