The Elms, Bath, Somerset, BA1

A substantial five bedroom modern family home in a generous corner plot of a secluded cul-de-sac with delightful views.

Description

Holburne Villa sits amidst The Elms, a small development of eight houses in a secluded enclave with the coveted corner plot offering expansive views over Bath and the nearby countryside.

Arranged over just three floors, the house provides excellent family accommodation and generous proportions throughout. The house opens in to an expansive hallway with tiled floor, perfect for family life. This floor provides a substantial living room with working fireplace, and curved bay window with French doors out on to the pretty garden. Double doors lead through to the generous kitchen/dining room which centres around a large peninsula island, bespoke Italian cupboards, and practical granite worktops as well as space for casual dining at the breakfast bar.

Our clients have created a multi-generational home, and as a result the original first floor drawing room has been converted to create a lovely open plan kitchen/living room, providing a degree of independence for the first floor, but which could easily be reversed if not required. This room also benefits from the attractive bay window with French doors opening to reveal a captivating curved balcony, offering lovely views of the garden and countryside beyond.

The first floor also provides two bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and a spacious dressing room, as well as a large family bathroom.

The second floor provides the majority of the bedroom accommodation including the principal bedroom with its own private dressing room, shower room, and delightful views. Two more double bedrooms await, each boasting built-in wardrobes for effortless organization. Completing this level is an immaculate family bathroom.

Garden

The property is approached through wrought iron electric gates opening onto a gravel drive, where there's parking and a generous double garage with automated doors. The garage can be accessed from the garden, as can the shed which is neatly tucked away at the side. There is also a Barbeque Lodge Cabin perfect for entertaining.

The beautifully maintained garden wraps around two sides of the house, predominantly bordered by shrubs and trees. A large, well maintained flat lawn and two terraces ensure the sunshine can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Location

The Elms is a secluded cul-de-sac of just eight Georgian style villas. Built nearly twenty years ago in the grounds surrounding an existing Georgian villa, the name derives from the many specimen trees of the area and the adjacent Alice Park.

Situated between the popular villages of Larkhall and Batheaston. Larkhall is a sought after ‘city’ village within a level mile of the city with a superb range of village amenities including a small theatre, a coffee shop, butcher, grocers, chemist, delicatessen, two pubs and a mini supermarket. There are also primary and secondary schools in the village. Nearby Alice Park is a popular area for families, with a playground, skatepark, cafe, community garden and six hard surface tennis courts.

Batheaston has a very well regarded primary school and a number of shops. Wonderful walks along the canal or up the famous Solsbury Hill add to the appeal of the neighbourhood.

Bath is a World Heritage Site famed for its Roman heritage and Georgian architecture that offers a wide variety of cultural, leisure, sports and shopping facilities along with excellent schools in both the state and independent sectors along with 2 universities.
