Brockham End, Bath, BA1

A superb opportunity to live near the city but have one and a half acres of garden and fields plus the most amazing panoramic views toward Wales. Located north of the city in Lansdown, this five bedroom home was designed to provide flexible living over three floors. Balconies and terraces create an effortless flow from inside to outside. A sweeping drive leads past the garage and the studio to the front of the house. The impressive reception hall is double height with light flooding in from the sky lights. The main reception and kitchen are on the upper ground floor with an expansive balcony linking them both and providing extra entertainment space and magnificent views. A central fireplace at one end, double height at the other, the reception room is large enough to be zoned for everyday living and includes double doors opening on to the balcony. The adjacent kitchen may be on a smaller scale but includes a dining area and walk-in pantry. The upper floor comprises two bedroom suites with private bathrooms. Both rooms open on to an upper balcony taking in more of the panoramic aspect over woodland, fields and towards the west. The lower ground floor has been well-designed with three bedrooms all located off a central sitting room with a covered terrace providing a sheltered seating area leading directly on to the garden. On the practical side there are two bathrooms and a utility room.

Studio: Located above the detached double garage with its own private entrance, is an attractive studio. The open space has a well fitted kitchen designed in a U-shape with a dividing three quarter wall to the sitting room/bedroom area. A full wall of glazing has been designed to take in those views. A lantern roof light adds to the light and airy space and there is a separate bathroom.

Outside

A driveway leads past the studio and continues around to the front of the house where there is plenty of parking and a double garage. The upper ground floor benefits from a balcony running the length of the house and provides a covered veranda for the garden level. The upper bedroom floor also benefits from a balcony leading from both bedrooms. The garden was mainly laid to lawn bordered by mature hedges but has recently been sown as a wildflower meadow. To the side is a pond surrounded by planting adding a further wildlife area to the garden. A path leads down a paddock that gently slopes towards adjacent countryside. There is an orchard area plus an outbuilding for the goats! A parcel of land above has been used for the solar panels. A green house and vegetable garden complete the good life.

Situation

Brockham End is a cluster of individual houses located just above Lansdown on the northern slopes of Bath.

As well as the racecourse there is the adjacent Lansdown Golf Club and just down the road is the Park and Ride offering a regular bus service into the city and railway station. There are two popular public houses close by, The Charlcombe Inn and The Hare and Hounds; a popular and fashionable gastro pub. Lansdown offers excellent access to Junction 18 of the M4, and Bath Spa Railway Station offers high-speed train services from Bath to London Paddington.
