Cambridge Terrace, Widcombe, Bath, BA2

The approach along this handsome Georgian terrace with its attractive frontages to No 7 is charming. The house has a stone courtyard enclosed by wrought iron railings. The entrance hall leads down to the lower ground floor housing the kitchen/breakfast room. This provides the much-requested features of a bespoke handmade, hand painted kitchen, plus plenty of room for a dining table and a door out to an attractive garden, all three boxes ticked. In the hallway, exposed flagstones continue into the family bathroom providing both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. There are two vaulted areas used as a music room, utility and office area. The ground floor drawing room is of note, with tall ceilings and two windows benefitting from far reaching views over the garden, city and to a few of the seven hills that hug Bath. The wooden floorboards have been stripped and polished, and the marble fireplace makes a central feature. There are three bedrooms, the principal situated on the second floor with the most magnificent aspect showing even more of our honey coloured city as well as the expanse of greenery we also enjoy. Once again, an original, pretty cast iron fireplace with cabinetry either side adds to the charm of this room. The home office up in the attic is perfect to be away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and has permission to convert the Victorian spiral staircase into a wooden staircase and extend the cloakroom into a shower room.

Outside

A beautifully designed contoured flagstone patio is adjacent to the kitchen, this makes the perfect place for relaxing with a dining terrace including climbing plants on the walls and fencing. The garden continues with a level lawn all enclosed by stone walling and trellis covered in climbing plants. Established bee loving flowerbeds have been planted both sides with a central path leading to a further lawned area with mature shrubs. An additional patio area surrounds a smart wooden home office. Wave contoured fencing at this far end of the garden has been thoughtfully cut and shaped with the lowest part of the fencing creating an opening so you can see through to Bath. The much sought after garage is located just down from the property, where there is the opportunity to add mains connection and an electric charging point.
