Park Road, Bath, Somerset BA1

This attractive family home forms part of a Victorian terrace built circa 1880 and has been thoughtfully extended and modernised while retaining its original period details. Arranged over three floors, it offers spacious and flexible accommodation ideal for family living. The front door opens into an inner vestibule with a part glazed door leading to a welcoming hallway with stripped wood floorboards. There is an understairs WC, a useful coat cupboard and stairs rising to the upper floors. To the front is a beautifully light, south facing sitting room with generous proportions, period features and built in shelving and cupboards. To the rear is a family living room opening into a spacious kitchen/dining area with an impressive glass atrium. The kitchen is fully fitted with units to the sides, a central island and underfloor heating. Bifold doors open to the garden, creating an excellent space for entertaining.

On the first floor is the principal, south facing bedroom with a high ceiling, built in wardrobes and its own en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The loft space has been converted to provide two additional bedrooms and an en suite shower room. One bedroom is currently used as a home office, and there is plenty of under eaves storage.

To the front of the property is a small, low maintenance garden enclosed by a stone wall, creating a neat and welcoming approach to the house.

To the rear, bifold doors open onto an attractive walled garden designed for easy outdoor living, with a level artificial lawn, stone boundaries and contemporary slatted fencing providing privacy. A decked terrace forms part of the outdoor “kitchen” area, ideal for al fresco dining, and there is ample space for seating and a dining set. Practical features include storage along one side, including a bike shed, as well as a useful rear access pathway to Park Road. Parking is available by residents’ permits.

The city centre is around a 20 minute walk away, and Chelsea Road offers delicatessens, cafés, boutique shops, charity stores and independent businesses.
