Sion Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1

A beautifully modernised home that has been finished to a very high standard with an emphasis on space and light

Description

A cleverly modernised luxury 3/4 bedroom home in the ever-popular Lansdown area.

Entering the house via an inner lobby you are immediately struck by the sense of light and space. The entrance hall leads to a cloakroom with room for coats and shoes. To the left, the hall leads through to a beautiful double-height drawing room with Velux windows in the vaulted ceiling, and a glazed gallery that provides a glimpse of the floor above. Bi-fold doors lead you out onto a terrace with outdoor lighting, a built-in parasol with heating, and steps down to the main garden. From the terrace you have a view of the front gardens and the Bath countryside beyond. The drawing room has a gas-fired tunnel fire that also serves the dining room. The generous dining room leads through to an eight-metre kitchen with gas/electric range cooker, modern pan-drawer units and central island topped with quartz work-surfaces. A door leads through to the utility room with matching quartz worktop and to a pantry with Carrera marble shelving. A door leads through to the rear terraced garden and to an integral garage which houses the boiler.

Upstairs, the light and spacious landing leads to an office/ 4th bedroom with far-reaching views to the south-west of Bath. Glazed walls overlook the drawing room. Also off the landing is bedroom 2&3 and a luxury bathroom with a walk-in shower. The spacious master bedroom has a dressing area and built-in wardrobe, and a luxury ensuite wet-room. Both bathrooms have electric underfloor heating.

Outside

The pillared shared driveway flanked by lawns leads to the house. There is a parking area outside the garage with a bin store for recycling. At the rear there is a full-width terrace which is the perfect spot for enjoying the sun in the late afternoon and evening. The gardens have been professionally designed to provide a variety of places to enjoy the sun and the views. The design includes a modern crescent Corten steel retaining wall and planters, and one area that is fenced-off and dog-proof. There is planning permission to convert the garage and build a garden room at the rear. All-in-all a really wonderful home and garden.
