About
Vendor comments, "I fell in love with our house initially because of the stunning views, but over the years it has become so much more than that.
It’s all the things you don’t fully appreciate until you live somewhere that have made it feel like home - being part of the Batheaston community, being able to walk our children to and from primary school, heading up Solsbury Hill for a walk, exploring the river on a paddle board, or jumping on our bikes and cycling along the canal into Bath or all the way to Bradford on Avon.
These are the everyday experiences and little freedoms that have made living here so special, and they’ve become such a big part of our family life.
None of that is something we are giving up lightly." Beautifully positioned in the sought-after Bailbrook Lane area of Bath, this attractive semi-detached family home enjoys an elevated position, exceptional far-reaching views and beautifully established gardens.
A private driveway provides parking for two cars, with convenient access to a wall-mounted EV charger.
Thoughtfully extended to the rear, the property offers a generous and versatile arrangement of accommodation, ideally suited to modern family living.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is its elevated position and wonderful outlook.
The front garden is particularly attractive, with mature planting, established greenery and a lovely sense of privacy, while the elevated setting affords impressive views across the surrounding countryside and Bath landscape.
The garden has been thoughtfully designed as a series of social spaces, providing a choice of areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing throughout the year.
A decked area to the rear of the front garden provides useful space for a shed and a secure metal bike box.
The welcoming entrance hall leads into the principal living accommodation and provides access to the first floor.
The thoughtfully extended layout creates a wonderful sense of space and flexibility throughout the ground floor.
The lounge is a particularly inviting room, featuring a panoramic window overlooking the garden and a working open fireplace, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere during the winter months.
The separate dining room provides an elegant setting for family meals and entertaining, and also benefits from its own working open fireplace, adding character and charm.
The kitchen diner is well positioned and offers a practical range of wall and base units, together with space for appliances.
A useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom/WC add further convenience to the ground floor.
The rear extension has significantly enhanced the overall footprint of the home, providing a further reception room with excellent versatility.
This could readily serve as a family room, home office, playroom, snug or occasional fourth sleeping space, depending on the needs of the household.
There is also a further useful and practical utility area housing an additional sink, particularly well suited to muddy sports shoes, outdoor clothing and the demands of busy family life.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, alongside two further bedrooms and the family bathroom accommodating a bath and separate large shower.
The accommodation offers excellent flexibility for family life, with the combination of reception rooms and bedrooms allowing the house to evolve effortlessly as requirements change.
Bailbrook Lane is an attractive and highly regarded location on the eastern side of Bath, offering an enviable balance of city convenience and access to open countryside.
The property is well placed for the amenities of nearby Larkhall and Batheaston, while Bath city centre is approximately 1.5 miles away, making the historic centre readily accessible on foot, by bicycle or by public transport.
Both Batheaston and Larkhall are particularly sought after for their distinctive village atmospheres and excellent range of independent amenities, including cafés, delis, shops, pubs and everyday conveniences.
Often described as villages within the city, they offer a strong sense of community and a relaxed atmosphere, whilst remaining within easy reach of central Bath.
For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the location is exceptionally well placed for access to beautiful countryside and a variety of walking routes.
Nearby destinations include Solsbury Hill, St Catherine’s Valley, Bathampton Meadows, the River Avon and the Kennet & Avon Canal, providing an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the surrounding landscape.
