Grosvenor Villas, Bath, BA1

A handsome Victorian semi-detached villa constructed of mellow Bath stone with large sash windows creating a very light and spacious family home. The house has been beautifully maintained and enhanced during the current owners’ tenure. It is now a charming traditional family home which has the added benefit of a modern element with its large kitchen diner to the rear and lovely views of St Saviours church and Solsbury Hill.

Approached via a driveway providing generous off-street parking, stone steps lead up to the vestibule entrance and into the spacious entrance hall giving onto two reception rooms. The drawing room has the benefit of a large bay window, a working central fireplace plus a tall ceiling decorated by an intricate ceiling rose. The family room maintains its elegance with a tall ceiling and large sash windows allowing an abundance of natural light into the room. The cosy study area is a perfect example of a charming home working space, with pleasant views overlooking the garden and beautiful St Saviours church. The extended and expansive kitchen dining room is fitted with modern units under a wooden work surface, and there is direct access to the terrace and garden. There is ample space for a table and chairs as well as for additional soft seating, making this the heart of this charming home. A cellar functions as the utility room as well as providing ample storage space.

The first-floor half-landing houses a well-appointed bedroom with charming views to the rear. The principal bedroom is located on the first floor and has a large bay window overlooking the allotments opposite and offering a glimpse of Camden Crescent in the distance. There are two further spacious bedrooms on this floor (one of which is currently used as an office) and the family bathroom. On the upper floor are two more bedrooms and a shower room and excellent additional storage.

Outside

Tall pillars of Bath stone stand either side of the driveway, providing a charming entrance to the home and off-street parking for two cars. There is side access to the rear garden, which benefits from a patio terrace leading off the kitchen/breakfast room. The impressive rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered by well-established beds containing a range of fine plants and shrubs, creating a tranquil space to sit in as well as provide space to play. Towards the end of the garden is a raised vegetable garden as well as an additional space for a table and chairs.

Situation

Claremont Road links Larkhall with the other popular area of Camden. This part of the road is popular due to its handsome, predominantly Victorian villas situated on one side of the road and allotments on the other, creating an open feel. Larkhall is known as ‘the village within the city’ and is popular for its wonderful community atmosphere centred around the village square. The amenities include a local theatre, schools, church and a number of shops including a delicatessen, butchers, grocers, plus a small supermarket. All of this is on your doorstep yet also just one mile level walk to Milsom Street and the array of shops, restaurants, theatres and museums that Bath is famous for. There is also easy access to Junction 18 of the M4 via the A46 just along the road.
