Battlefields, Lansdown, Bath, BA1

Battlefields House is an imposing Grade II Listed country residence dating back to the early 1800s, set within beautiful, quiet parkland-style grounds with views across open countryside. Upon entering the house there is a magnificent communal reception hall featuring an original tessellated floor. Within the immaculately-presented ground floor apartment, you are greeted into the entrance hall from which the impressive sitting room and stylish kitchen lead off. The sitting room is beautifully proportioned and styled with wooden flooring and a sumptuous décor setting the tone. Floor to ceiling, dual aspect double glazing offers beautiful views to the west and south, allowing an abundance of natural light into the room which leads directly onto a private terrace. The kitchen has been finished to the highest standards with Harvey Jones hand crafted units and solid oak worktops. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, electric fan oven, microwave/grill, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen has space for a dining table and chairs, and also has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens. The principal bedroom is well appointed and benefits from a dressing area complete with fitted cabinetry. The good-sized second bedroom has also been beautifully finished. Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, which has been tastefully presented with a shower unit and tiled floor and walls. The apartment comes with a garage and also benefits from a large secure storage room located in the basement area. Each apartment also has the option to hire the basement guest suite (an ensuite double bedroom) for a nominal sum to accommodate visitors should they wish.

Outside

The communal parkland grounds cover approximately three acres with neat lawns interspersed with mature trees and woodland, and stunning views across the surrounding countryside. The apartment benefits from direct access to a private terrace leading onto the communal lawns, with distant views to the west. The terrace is a fantastic place to dine and enjoy the tranquil grounds.
