Southview, High Street, Bath, BA2 7WE

An elegant double-fronted village residence with beautifully extended accommodation.

Description Southview is an elegant double fronted detached home situated in the heart of the highly sought after village of Freshford.

Extending to over 3,000 sq ft, this beautifully presented property offers substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, seamlessly combining period charm with contemporary design and modern family living.

Rich in character, the house retains many attractive original features, including sash windows, solid oak flooring, wood-burning stoves and open fireplaces, all complemented by thoughtfully executed modern improvements.

The ground floor is centred around an exceptional open-plan living space.

A welcoming sitting room with a wood burning stove flows through to an attractive dining area and on into a stunning kitchen/breakfast room, where large glazed doors frame views of the garden and flood the space with natural light.

Crafted by John Lewis of Hungerford, the shaker style kitchen features a substantial central island and benefits from overhead skylights and expansive garden facing doors.

Remodelled by the current owners, the kitchen now connects seamlessly to an impressive rear extension.

This superb addition provides a vaulted family room with skylights, a versatile bedroom or playroom, a home office and a contemporary shower room.

Practicality has been carefully considered throughout, with a generous utility room accessed from the breakfast area, an integrated garage and a side entrance leading directly to the off street parking.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a cosy snug with a period fireplace and a separate cloakroom. The first floor comprises three generous double bedrooms served by a stylish family bathroom.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, providing excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or those seeking dedicated work from home space.

Outside Southview enjoys a delightful rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by stone walls and timber fencing, creating a private and peaceful setting.

The rear elevation of the house has been enhanced with attractive timber cladding and contemporary glazing, adding a striking architectural contrast to the period frontage.

Immediately outside the kitchen is a large terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, overlooking beautifully stocked flower beds and mature trees.

At the end of the garden, a raised terrace provides a tranquil spot from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
