Vellore Lane, Bath, BA2

Situation

It is difficult to overstate just how enviable the location of Vellore Lane is. Within just a five-minute walk, you can be at the Holburne Museum, perhaps stopping for a coffee, or making your way up the magnificent Great Pulteney Street into the heart of the city. The Kennet & Avon Canal is also close by, providing a wonderfully scenic route for walks and an easy way to reach the Tesco on Bathwick Hill via the towpath. A doctors’ surgery is conveniently located on Great Pulteney Street, with a pharmacy at Laura Place. Indeed, much of central Bath’s many attractions, amenities, restaurants and cultural offerings are within a comfortable 20-minute walk of the property.

Description

The house is approached via a private driveway leading from Vellore Lane, providing parking for a number of vehicles to the front, together with a useful carport and a single garage with an up-and-over door.

On entering the property, you are greeted by a generous entrance hall. To the left is a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a range of contemporary grey wall and base units, complemented by a peninsula-style breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include twin ovens, a dishwasher and fridge freezer. At one end of the kitchen is a dedicated breakfast area, with sliding French doors opening onto the garden.

The kitchen flows through to a particularly spacious sitting room, which also benefits from sliding French doors providing direct access to the garden and creating a lovely connection between the house and outside space.

The entrance hall continues to a shower room/cloakroom, while a glazed door leads through to a separate utility room, which in turn has a further door providing access to the garden.

The property currently provides four bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room.

The house also offers considerable scope for remodelling and, subject to the necessary consents, there may be potential to extend the existing footprint and further enhance the accommodation.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, having been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderfully private and established setting. The mature planting, clipped hedging and abundance of trees and shrubs provide a high degree of seclusion, while a series of paved and gravelled paths lead through the gardens and create a number of distinct areas to enjoy.

There are attractive stone retaining walls and raised beds, with a variety of established plants and shrubs providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. A charming timber summerhouse sits towards the rear, providing an idyllic spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Further areas of gravelled terrace provide plenty of space for outdoor seating and entertaining, with the gardens offering a lovely combination of privacy, character and tranquillity.
