Shakespeare Avenue, Bath, Somerset, BA2

60 Shakespeare Avenue is a classic Edwardian terraced family home in the
popular area of Bear Flat, locally known as Poets Corner. The property has been carefully restored and modernised, retaining many of its original period features. The sitting room features an elegant marble fireplace with a modern and efficient wood-burning stove. The sash windows have been upgraded with double-glazed panes and plantation shutters. Throughout the ground floor, the floor boards have been sanded and sealed, providing an abundance of natural reflected light. The dining room retains its original marble fireplace with a gas grate and a built-in glazed cabinet in one of the alcoves. There is an interconnecting door leading through to the kitchen and breakfast room with a useful under-stairs cloakroom adjacent to it. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous 17' x 9' and has been extended at some point. It provides a flexible layout allowing the dining room to be used as an additional reception room should this be required. The kitchen has a large 5-burner range with double ovens made by Technik and a wooden worktop.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor and a further double bedroom and shower room on the second floor.

Externally, the south-facing garden is a real sun trap, laid mostly to patio with mature herbaceous borders for low maintenance. A summer house occupying the rear of the garden would make a useful home office or provide further storage. There is a gate to a lane at the rear of the property, providing useful access for cyclists and the removal of garden waste.
