Description 

Number 85, originally constructed in 1928, is a charming and characterful home that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for several decades. This enduring residence blends period appeal with practical living space, offering a wonderful opportunity for its next chapter. 

Upon entering, a welcoming lobby leads into a spacious entrance hall, complete with an understairs coat cupboard and additional storage. The front living room is bright and inviting, featuring a bay window with views over the front garden and a fireplace with an inset electric fire, creating a cosy focal point.  The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of base and wall units and benefits from a dual aspect, overlooking both the rear garden and the side of the property.  It includes an integrated AEG electric oven with a five-burner gas hob and extractor above, along with space for a washing machine and dishwasher. A cupboard houses the Vaillant gas boiler and meters, while a door provides direct access to the rear garden and driveway. A convenient guest cloakroom with WC and wash basin.   To the rear, a versatile sitting/dining room opens via a glazed door into a delightful south-facing conservatory, flooded with natural light and offering a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining and completes the ground floor.  

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to the attic. The generous principal bedroom is positioned at the front, enjoying elevated cityscape views over Bath through its bay window, and includes a wash basin with storage beneath.  The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double overlooking the attractive rear garden and leads through to a nursery, which could alternatively serve as a dressing room or potential ensuite.  A third bedroom benefits from a side aspect.  The family bathroom comprises a bath with electric shower over, WC, and hand basin. 

Externally, the property truly excels. The substantial south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, offering a peaceful and private setting with established trees, well-stocked borders, a fishpond, and a garden shed, all backing onto open countryside. To the front, there is a generous lawn and a driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.  A garage adds further practicality.  This is a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home with beautiful gardens, versatile accommodation, and significant potential in a sought-after location.
