Description
Ashleas is an incredibly rare to market detached property situated towards the end of a private no through road off Darlington Road in Bathwick. Built in 1988 and bought from new, Ashleas sits on a generous plot with a pleasant and tranquil canal side setting conveniently located within a level half-mile walk to the city centre. The location and size of the plot coupled with the predominantly ground floor configuration makes it a great option for both families and for those looking for a single storey residence close to the city centre.
The accommodation is mostly to the ground floor with a fifth `turret` style bedroom accessed from a spiral staircase from the dining room. The kitchen, dining room, sitting room and garden room offer a flowing and open plan living space. The sitting room is particularly impressive with its vaulted ceiling, exposed ceiling beams and direct access to the rear garden.
The ground floor bedrooms are accessed via an atrium style hall with gabled roof structure allowing natural light from above. The main en-suite bedroom is a generous double with built in wardrobes, drawers and dressing table. Bedroom two is a similarly sized double and bedrooms three and four are slightly smaller double bedrooms. A bathroom off the atrium hall and cloakroom off the entrance hall completes the accommodation.
The wrap around gardens includes a mostly lawned canal fronted rear garden with established trees and shrubs. A garden office to the back right hand corner enjoys a scenic view of the canal and towpath with a decked seating area overlooking steps down to a canal side jetty. A terraced patio side garden off the kitchen / utility area makes for a pleasant outdoor seating area surrounded by a mature fig, bay and olive tree alongside a rose bed.
Off road parking to the front includes a driveway leading to a double garage with two up and over garage doors.
Darlington Road is situated in the popular residential location known as Bathwick within half a mile from Bath city centre. The tucked away location is perfect for families with Bathwick St Mary and King Edwards schools both within half a mile. Bath Spa train station is just over a mile away making it ideal for those who commute to London or Bristol. Sydney and Henrietta Gardens are both under half a mile away with Sydney Gardens having re-opened in 2022 following an upgrade to the tennis courts and childrens play parks. Bath`s first public art gallery, The Holburne Musuem, is next to Sydney Gardens and the location also offers easy access to the River Avon and Kennet & Avon Canal for a change of scenery.
Bath boating station; offering rowing, canoeing and punting along the river Avon is within 300 metres next to the excellent Bathwick Boatman riverside restaurant. Both the Barley Mow and the Pulteney Arms public houses are a short walk away offering a great atmosphere, especially on rugby matchdays. The restored Cleveland Pools, the UK`s oldest lido, is within 600 metres of the property. This impressive Grade II* listed building reopened to the public for the first time in September 2023 since its closure in 1984.
