Granville Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Mulberry House was built to a very high specification by renowned local builders Charlcombe Homes. Forward-thinking and future-proofed in the design, layout, and systems, the property is fully underfloor heated via air-source heat pumps and well insulated, making it very economical to run.

Popular with families with children at the local schools of Kingswood, the Royal High and St. Stephens, the school run is easily walkable.

Mulberry House has been designed with modern family lifestyles in mind. Entered on the middle floor, the property has an open-plan layout of kitchen-dining-living room, with wide-opening doors onto a covered terrace with external heaters. This provides a practical outdoor seating area, taking in the most of the breathtaking views over the city and beyond, whatever the weather.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with fully integrated Siemens appliances, including double ovens, a dishwasher, two full-sized fridge/freezers, and an induction hob. Finished with timeless white units and Silestone quartz work surfaces, there is generous food preparation space and cupboard storage. The bespoke kitchen design features an elegant wooden laminated breakfast bar with room for several chairs. The floors on both the ground floor and garden level are in engineered oak, providing an abundance of natural reflected light from the large picture windows and patio doors to the outdoor terrace.

There are principally 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom has a stunning, recently upgraded en-suite shower room with double hand basins and a spacious walk-in shower. Underfloor heated with attractive stone tiles, it has been designed in the style of a luxury hotel, a theme that is continued through to the dressing room and family bathroom. The dressing room is entered via a pair of discrete 'pocket doors' with wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe storage and a centre piece feature glass-topped set of drawers.

One of the surprises of this property is the garden level. The 22' sitting room has an inset cassette wood burner with a slate hearth and Bath stone surround. This room provides an independent living space for energetic teenagers to enjoy or a film to be watched whilst the rest of the household carries on upstairs. There is a further double bedroom with an ensuite shower room and study on this floor, which could be a self-contained suite should visitors be staying for extended periods. The utility room could be easily modified into a kitchenette, creating an annex permanently arranged for a parent, nanny, or holiday let.

Externally, the property is entered via a pair of electric gates, and it is fully fenced, safely containing children and pets. There is generous parking for 3-4 cars and a double garage with an attractive 'Sedum' roof. The property has been professionally landscaped with raised beds and several seating areas. There is an elegant spiral staircase, leading from the garden to the middle floor up to the covered terrace.

The property is being sold with no onward chain, with completion easily achievable before the start of the new school year.

Situation

Mulberry House is located on the upper slopes of Lansdown near some of Bath's finest schools. There is a local Co-op within walking distance and regular bus services into the city centre. Many local residents rarely use the car and it is commonplace to see electric bicycles being used instead being a 10-minute ride home from the centre or 15 minutes from the Bath Spa train station (London Paddington 75 minutes direct). There are many local walks, and the Lansdown playing fields provide acres of level open space to let a dog off the lead and for children to kick a ball. There are two local pubs, the Hare and Hounds (a 5-minute walk that serves excellent food and provides one of the best views in the area) and the Charlcombe Inn (a more traditional country pub with accommodation). Lansdown Golf Club is an 18-hole course, a 2-minute drive away, with a friendly and welcoming clubhouse.

The World Heritage City of Bath is just down the hill with a wide range of cultural, retail, and educational facilities. For commuters, the M4 (junction 18) is 8 miles North.
