Occupying an enviable position on sought-after Bathwick Hill, the property combines elegant period proportions and original architectural detailing with bespoke contemporary finishes, landscaped garden, garage parking and a self-contained guest suite.

Behind its handsome façade, the house retains an abundance of original features including cornicing, skirtings, architraves, panelled doors, sash windows, shutters and original stone floors.

Located on the garden floor is an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room that forms the heart of the home. Designed around custom-made shaker cabinetry with quartz worktops, the kitchen is comprehensively equipped with an electric Aga and high quality integrated appliances. Underfloor heated engineered timber flooring runs throughout, while glazed doors create a seamless connection with the garden.

Adjoining the kitchen are a boot room and well-appointed utility room, both finished with attractive herringbone brick flooring, bespoke cabinetry and underfloor heating. The lower ground floor also provides a useful vaulted storage area.

The upper floors offer three beautifully presented double bedrooms, all benefiting from bespoke joinery and luxurious bath or shower facilities. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring custom wardrobes by Hawker Joinery and a sumptuous marble-clad en suite with walk-in shower and Porter bath. The remaining bedrooms each enjoy elegant en suite facilities finished with marble surfaces and bespoke detailing. The staircase is complemented by a custom-fitted runner extending throughout the house.

At the rear sits a superb detached guest studio, with a pergola seating area outside, which creates highly versatile ancillary accommodation. Incorporating a studio bedroom, kitchenette and en suite bathroom with underfloor heating, it is ideal for guests, independent family members or those seeking a dedicated home office.
