Summerhill Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1

Set in a prime location within Bath’s beautiful northern slopes, this late 1950s built family home sits tucked away down a small private road in Lansdown on the Cotswold Way.

Arranged over one level it comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and comes with an under croft, mature gardens, off-street multi-car parking and a single garage. Close to the countryside yet walking distance from the centre of Bath this is a city home where one can enjoy the best of both worlds. ?We have lived here for eleven years and have loved the peace and quiet along with the convenience. Whilst walking into Bath is an option, the house is on a bus route,’ say the owners, who go onto say, ?since living here, we have done significant work including replacing the roof, renewing the central heating and installing new kitchen and bathrooms. We’ve also laid wood flooring throughout the main living areas and carpet in the bedrooms. In addition, we have created more storage space and installed a log burner with a new chimney liner in the sitting room.’ The garden has been well-tended and incorporates trees, shrubs, raised vegetable gardens and an herbaceous border. ?The front garden is easy to maintain with weed repellent fabric and small Cotswold gravel and several shrubs and trees. We’ve also planted a rather lovely Parterre.’

?The garden is a feature of the property along with 180° views which reach towards the south of Bath ? they really are stunning.’

?Our favourite room is the sitting room with its wonderful views however the snug off the kitchen is a delightful place to cosy up.’

?The standout feature of the house is definitely the kitchen with its bespoke oak lined units and Rayburn cooker.’

?We’ve added the terrace and awning, under which we are able to eat al fresco, even in winter. The under croft is excellent for storing garden tables and chairs, lawn mowers and logs.’

?We have good neighbours and I have to say having lived all over the world and in many houses, our neighbours here are some of the best. Once a year we have a safari supper which is great fun.’

?The property is close to several excellent independent schools, including the Royal High School and Kingswood School, both walkable. The nearby St James’ Square offers a chemist, pub, delicatessen, paper shop, greengrocer and flower shop not to mention 3 hairdressers.’

?Most of all we will miss our neighbours, the garden and the view.’
