Chaucer Road, Bath, BA2

The well-maintained period house was extended at the rear some 13 years ago. This is a spacious ground floor flat situated within the extension. It is therefore well insulated and sound proofed to meet modern standards. The internal period features of the old house have been re-created within the flat, including majestic high ceilings, heavy panelled doors, large bay windows and attractive cornices. The flat even has an additional private front door to the rear of the house linking to the garden & the entrance drive. This gives quick access to the pedestrian side gate off the drive which takes you directly to the local shops. The main internal front door entrance is off the beautiful Esher House hallway. The property is situated in a large garden setting on high ground above the city and is approached via a long private driveway, yet it is within easy walking distance of the city and the main station. The front door to the flat opens into a large hall with a boiler cupboard containing shelving to air linen, and there is space in the hall for a workstation. The reception room has a wide bay window to the south, overlooking the lovely grounds with an arch leading to a fully integrated kitchen. Fitted with solid wood fronts and incorporating an oven, ceramic hob with extractor hood above. In addition there is a dishwasher, washer/dryer and a fridge/freezer. The master bedroom has a wall of fully fitted cupboards and two windows to the side. A well-appointed en-suite shower room includes a corner shower tray with WC in a vanity unit, wash basin and a wall cabinet. A second double bedroom also looks out to the south with a deep window and is served by an equally well fitted bathroom with a shower mixer over the bath and screen. A full width vanity with storage below houses a basin and WC.
