Bloomfield Avenue, Bath, Somerset, BA2

Situated away from the hustle and bustle of Bath’s city centre, yet just a pleasant fifteen-minute stroll away, this semi-detached home, built in 1903, nestles within the popular area of Bear Flat. This handsome single bay-fronted home, individually designed as one of a pair, is set back from a quiet road with gardens to the front and rear and off-road parking. Arranged over three floors, it boasts four bedrooms, with one located in a converted attic featuring an en suite and offering far-reaching views. Downstairs, there are two generously sized reception rooms, along with a combined large kitchen and sun lounge with French doors providing access to a raised deck area offering further entertainment space and views over allotments and green hills to the south of Bath. The garden provides access to a full-height sizable cellar used as a workshop and storeroom. Over the twenty-eight years of their residency, the current owners have made numerous improvements, including the installation of solar panels and a battery, as well as sash double glazing throughout. Reflecting on their home, they express their affection for its uniqueness and originality, noting an interesting historical detail: ‘the house suffered minor bomb damage during the war, which can still be seen on the side wall. Other houses close by were completely destroyed or had to have their frontages rebuilt.’ This narrative showcases the charm and history that contribute to making this property an exceptional home. Attracted to the area by Bear Flat's excellent sense of community, abundant amenities, and the availability of quality primary and secondary schools, as well as the proximity to the city centre and Bath Spa Station, the owners have found great satisfaction in their choice of location. ‘We have also been pleased with the easy access to green spaces and overall peace and tranquillity, something you don't always get with city living,’ they note.

‘We have good neighbours on either side of us, with whom we socialise – our children grew up playing with each other.’

‘The garden is south facing, and we’re not overlooked – it’s great to have lots of green space right out the back.’

‘We use the rear extended room as a family room, which, with its French windows, opens up to a raised deck which really comes into its own on sunny days or when we entertain.’

‘It’s a quick walk into the city centre and we like the fact we can jump on the train and be in London in just under an hour and a half.’
