Summerhill Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Set at the end of a no-through road in a conservation area, just a pleasant stroll from the centre of Bath, 19 Summerhill Road is a modern detached bungalow that combines peaceful surroundings with easy access to the city. The Cotswold Way lies quite literally on the doorstep, offering instant access to countryside walks and the rolling hills to the north, while the route into Bath takes you through the Georgian splendour of Sion Hill and open parkland. Well positioned for the M4 and M5 motorways, Bristol, and a range of independent and state schools, this property offers both convenience and a sense of being away from the bustle of daily life.

Set within a south-facing garden inspired by the great gardens of Cornwall, it has matured into a haven of peace and tranquillity. Rich planting, winding paths and sheltered corners provide year-round interest, while the elevated terrace is the perfect spot for dining outdoors or for quiet reflection. ‘The south-facing garden is a delight to spend time in, full of peace and tranquillity,’ say the current owners. ‘The elevated terrace is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the panoramic views – watching the city lights twinkle at night or seeing the Bath stone’s honey glow in the sunshine are two great pleasures of living here.’

Inside, the house offers light-filled, flexible living. The kitchen, with its generous skylight, is naturally bright and airy and has become a central gathering place for family and friends. The sitting room, meanwhile, benefits from wide picture windows that frame the city beyond. ‘Both spaces are ideal for social gatherings or relaxation,’ explain the owners.

There are four bedrooms, including a principal en suite, as well as a snug and ample utility areas. A garage, outbuilding and off-street parking for several cars add practical convenience to the home’s generous proportions.

‘The position offers excellent convenience for the city, the countryside and travel further afield.’
