Perrymead, Bath, BA2

This detached four bedroom home was built to exacting standards in the mid-1960s including fashionable features of the era including wooden parquet flooring plus a downstairs shower room, very rare in those days. The house has been well loved with only two owners and has not been on the market since 1971. It now offers the next family a lovely opportunity to make their mark and create a superb home. The house benefits from modern double glazing, gas central heating and a new roof was installed two years ago. The entrance hall leads to the spacious sitting room with a dual aspect and sliding doors to the front terrace with stunning views over the neighbouring fields. The kitchen and dining room both offer a pleasant aspect to the front terrace and rear courtyard garden. The well cared for parquet flooring continues up on the first floor with a spacious landing and wonderful views. There are four bedrooms and the family bathroom with its superb ‘retro’ cast iron bath. The principal bedroom is of note with a dual aspect, one looking across neighbouring gardens and to the hills over the city to the east. The other aspect is over adjacent fields and hills with the added benefit of sliding doors opening onto a balcony.

Outside

The house stands in the centre of its plot with a pedestrian gate opening into the rear courtyard and a driveway adjacent to the front terrace which leads down to the parking area and double garage. Although the garden is not large, the two courtyard gardens provide plenty of space for dining and relaxing with mature hedges, shrubs, and trees. A raised bed encloses the front terrace and with the borrowed landscape of far-reaching views there is a feeling of spaciousness.

Situation

Perrymead is a no-through lane, situated off Prior Park Road, just below one of Bath’s most famous landmarks, Prior Park. Now a well-regarded school, the surrounding Prior Park Landscape Gardens are one of the National Trust’s jewels. This sought after area south of the city centre provides a rural feel adjacent to open countryside and upon a pleasant walk down the hill, you are in the heart of Widcombe. Widcombe Parade is a fashionable street with a variety of independent shops including a coffee shop, florist, and a new wine bar called The Halfpenny. There are two pubs, The Ram which includes Widcombe Delicatessen and The Ring of Bells, often a superb small venue for Bath Comedy Festival. There is also a small supermarket, dentist, and doctor’s surgery. A pedestrian bridge leads across the River Avon directly into Bath Spa Railway Station and into the city centre. Bath offers excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants and specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres. The area benefits from some of Bath’s finest schools whilst Bath University is located at the top of the hill.
