Beechen Cliff Road, Bath

PROPERT DESCRIPTION The Property: Highlands is a breathtakingly elegant and spacious Victorian semi-detached villa in a beautifully tucked-away position at the top of Beechen Cliff Road. It features beautifully maintained front and rear gardens and the bonus of a good-sized garage parking.

Ground Floor: Highlands begins with a charming entrance porch which opens to the main house and through to the rear garden. The hallway features characterful, tessellated tiling and opens to all reception rooms.

The sitting and dining rooms are both wonderfully expansive with a beautiful Southerly aspect to the rear garden. The sitting room is fitted with oak flooring and a wooden fireplace and has French doors to the rear, while the dining room has 2 large windows and a painted slate fireplace. To the front of the property, the breakfast room has an ashlar stone fireplace and 2 period dressers. It opens to the traditional kitchen comprising a selection of wood fronted units and a stable door to the front garden.

First Floor: The landing accesses 4 bedrooms and bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are large double rooms overlooking the rear garden with attractive views, whilst bedroom 3 is a front double and the 4th bedroom, a longer, single room. The bathroom is fitted with a cream coloured suite of panelled bath, hand-basin and WC.

Attic Level: at 2nd floor level there is an eaved double room with stunning, panoramic views over south Bath from the dormer window. Alongside, a storeroom provides valuable additional space and opens to the eaves area.

Outside: Highlands is blessed with some of the most delightfully balanced, walled gardens you could hope to witness. We begin with a wrought iron gate to the long front garden (45' x 33' approx.) where a pennant stone path leads to the front door. There are well stocked flower beds and green shrubs and a central lawn leading to the house.
The walled rear garden (55' x 35' approx.) enjoys a beautiful southerly aspect with mature shrubs, trees and flower borders. There is a sunny paved seating area which leads via gentle steps to the large lawn and on to a paved rear area housing the garden shed.

The Location: Highlands takes pride of place in extremely popular Beechen Cliff. It is an elegant and exclusive location just up from Bear Flat, where the 20 or so thriving shops, cafes and restaurants are on your doorstep. There is a lovely, wooded walk to the City of Bath and train station and also an excellent bus service. Nearby schools include Moorlands, St Johns and Widcombe Primaries and Beechen Cliff and Hayesfield Secondaries. There are many wonderful walks South as far as Widcombe, Combe down and beyond and easy access to the Two Tunnels Cycle Path. Overall, this is a wonderful location in which to live.
