Bloomfield Park, Bath, BA2

This detached Edwardian home is beautifully presented and retains some wonderful features such as fireplaces in most of the rooms and panelled doors with their furniture. The reception hall is a charming entrance with a unique tiled fireplace, a dado rail with ‘Lincrusta’ wall covering below featuring a classic Arts and Crafts design adding interest and style. The curved staircase also adds to this impressive entrance. The drawing room also benefits from a striking period fireplace and is fitted with a wood burning stove. The dual aspect looks out to the private garden. The second reception has a pleasant view to the front across the city as well as another fine fireplace and frieze above the picture rail. The kitchen is a major feature of the house. Designed by ‘Neptune’ with hand painted units under a light granite worksurface including integrated appliances. Two full height cupboards provide great larder storage. With access directly into the garden, enough space for an island, plus a dining table make this a pretty perfect kitchen. A practical utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. The first floor galleried landing includes access to a front balcony. The adjacent bedroom has far-reaching views over the city to the Royal Crescent and the hills beyond. The alternative principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect view over the garden. The four bedrooms are serviced by two smart bathrooms, one fitted with a free-standing claw foot bath, marble topped vanity units and its own balcony.

Outside

The house stands in a delightful garden enclosed by mature hedges. The front is laid to lawn with a central path leading to the entrance. The side garden leads up to the main garden to the rear. Large central flower borders include mature shrubs and herbaceous planting. A cluster of trees including a Yew, create a corner of woodland, a charming spot with a path leading to handy sheds and the garage which has vehicular access from Englishcombe Lane.
