Rowardennan, Darlington Road, Somerset, BA2 6NL

A contemporary home in an exceptional setting Description Positioned in one of Bath’s most desirable locations, this recently built residence brings together refined architectural design and modern energy efficient living.

With an EPC A rating, the property has been created to offer comfort, quality and long term sustainability, all framed by far reaching views across the canal and the historic city skyline.

The result is a contemporary home that feels calm, elegant and perfectly suited to its surroundings.

You enter at upper ground floor level where an elegant and welcoming hallway leads directly into the beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast room from which internal access is provided to the double garage or gym.

A stunning bespoke oak staircase then leads you down a half flight to the lower ground floor which provides the hub of daily life.

A substantial open plan living and dining space stretches across the width of the house and benefits from full height glazing that opens directly into the garden.

The strong connection between the interior and the outside spaces makes this level particularly well suited to both relaxing and entertaining.

Also at this level is a study or snug which provides a quiet area for work or retreat, and the staircase continues down to the stylish bar area and a further sitting room.

From the entrance level the staircase rises to the principal bedroom with attractive views which features a dressing area and a contemporary en suite bathroom.

A further double bedroom with its own ensuite is also positioned on this floor.

The remaining bedrooms are arranged across the upper levels, one with a private en suite and the remaining two sharing a bathroom, making this level ideal for guests, older children or those requiring spaces for a studio or hobby room.

At the top of the house is a very functional laundry and plant room with additional useful eaves storage. The landscaped gardens are designed to complement the elevated position of the house.

Terraces on different levels capture the best of the light throughout the day and provide a choice of areas for outdoor dining or quiet seating.

Planting has been carefully selected to offer structure, colour and year round interest.

The main terrace, accessed from the lower living level, is particularly well suited to gatherings, while the upper terraces allow for more peaceful enjoyment of the long views across the canal and the city.
