Description

Set on Summer Lane in the sought-after area of Combe Down on the outskirts of Bath, West Marden is a beautifully presented modern two-storey detached family home offering spacious and versatile living in an incredibly peaceful setting. This contemporary property is thoughtfully designed with generous proportions throughout and sits within a large, well-established garden of about 0.52 acres, with a separate one bedroom annexe adjacent to the house.

The house is arranged laterally across two floors, enjoying excellent proportions. Bright and airy living spaces flow seamlessly across the lower floor, with views and access to the mature front and rear gardens. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall, a large living room with oversized window to enjoy the view and southern light, a dining room with bi-folding doors on to the front terrace, and a large eat in kitchen/breakfast room. Also on this floor are a utility room leading from the kitchen, with rear garden access, and two studies leading from the dining room, one of which is ideal for an occasional guest bedroom or further living space.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-sized, with the principal bedroom enjoying its own en-suite and dressing area, along with access to a large balcony that runs along the front of the property. There are three further bedrooms, one of which also has access to the balcony, a large family bathroom and a separate WC.

Annexe

A substantial annexe with integrated garage is situated to the rear of the house and provides a number of useful purposes. On the lower floor is the garage along with a workshop, wood store and a large undercroft useful for storage. Across the first floor is a generous one bedroom annexe with excellent proportions, consisting of a living room, kitchen, shower room and bedroom, along with a conservatory that leads from the kitchen and provides access to a private section of garden. The annexe is self-contained and enjoys its own access and privacy, making it a valuable addition to the property. It is rated separated for council tax and has a separate EPC.

Outside

The garden at West Marden is a standout feature. It is an extensive space encompassing over half an acre and is private and mature, framed by attractive flower borders, many specimen trees and offers ample space for outdoor entertaining, family activities, or quiet relaxation.
The lawned front garden is walled from the roadside, and faces south with deep flower beds providing colour all year round. Leading from the front of the house, and accessed from bi-folding doors from the dining room is a large terrace, with a hot tub adjacent, which enjoys the southerly aspect and is perfect for enjoying the surroundings.

The rear garden gently slopes up the hillside behind the house and is largely laid to lawn with colourful borders and mature trees dotted around the perimeter. The top tier of garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the surroundings. A terrace with a pergola at the centre runs the full width of the garden and a walled boundary behind provides a lovely backdrop. The southerly-facing view back over the house and its garden is beautiful.
