Lyncombe Hill, Bath, Somerset, BA2

This end of terrace, late Georgian, townhouse has been renovated and refurbished, creating a stylish and practical family home. The Harvey Jones hand-painted kitchen has a large central island with breakfast bar, white Corian worktops and white wall tiles in a brick pattern that spans two walls. French-style glazed doors open directly onto a paved garden patio to the front. There's extra storage in the alcoves and a Bath stone fireplace, with further storage in the adjacent dining room which has a window through to the vaulted rooms behind. Here, the WC, utility and snug/TV room offer additional and useful living spaces.

The ground floor has both front and rear entrances onto the hallway; the original 'front' door is approached from east-facing garden, while the door most used as an entrance is at the rear of the house, closest to the parking space and garage. There are two large rooms on this floor - a study and living room - both with oak floors, high ceilings and period detailing. The windows are exceptionally wide in the living room (four panels) and frame the attractive views of the landscaped garden.
Original stone cantilever stairs with Roger Oakes staircase runners lead up to the first floor, via a half-landing with WC. There are two double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and a luxe bathroom with rolltop bath and shower. The second floor also has two bedrooms and a bathroom, their sloped ceilings following the line of the roof and multiple windows giving the rooms a light and open feel, again with great views. All sash windows have been 'weather-proofed', reducing heat loss to a minimum.

Gardens and Grounds
At the front, the main garden faces east and has several terraces which have been landscaped recently. A paved dinning terrace is closest to the house - a private and sheltered space. A few steps up are onto a lawned area, then steps down to a beautifully planted terrace, leading to a play area, complete with slide joining the two levels, with a treehouse and shed. Here there's a gate with steps down to Lyncombe Hill.

At the rear of the house, facing west, there's a private, walled, paved courtyard with a large fig tree and a gate that opens onto the parking area in front of the double garage which has a generous ceiling height and a side window.

Lyncombe Hill is a sought-after location - its proximity to Bath Spa Station, the city centre and Widcombe accounts for its popularity. Widcombe has a good community with a social club, pubs, cafés, pharmacy, supermarket, shops and restaurants.
Just above Lyncombe Hill, there are 10 acres of pasture land - open public spaces owned by Bath and North East Somerset Council and managed by Friends of Lyncombe Hill Fields and above this, the Bear Flat residential area.
There's a regular bus service at the bottom of the road and well-regarded schools are easily reached, including Widcombe, Moorlands, St John's infant and junior schools, and Beechen Cliff and Haysfield secondary schools.
Bath has excellent cultural and leisure amenities including many fine restaurants and specialist shops, museums, art galleries and theatres as well as its premiership rugby ground and its famous Thermae Spa. There's a high-speed train services from Bath Spa Railway Station to London Paddington (approximately 90 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (15 mins).
