Ostlings Lane, Bathford, Bath, BA1

Madron is set in an acre plot of beautifully prepared gardens, with fine views towards Solsbury Hill and local countryside. It is approached via a private driveway leading to an electric gate which in turn opens to the parking area with the pathway to the house, access to the double garage, annexe and turning apron. The house benefits from an east/west orientation with the gardens wrapping around on all sides therefore enjoying light throughout the day.

Once inside the property, the ample hallway leads to the well-proportioned reception rooms including the exceptionally light sitting room and dining room. The dining room opens onto the gardens and both rooms have the superb countryside views. The ground floor accommodation also offers a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room leading to the conservatory which is an ideal entertaining space; a utility room and cloakroom complete this level.

The first floor is light with an airy, generous landing. The main bedroom offers ensuite facilities, built-in wardrobes and dual aspect. There are 3 other double bedrooms all with lovely vistas and a very well-presented family bathroom.

Externally the gardens are a huge feature of the property, wrapping around the house and offering gorgeous places to sit and enjoy either the views or the flora contained within the garden itself which is also animal proof the whole way around. There is also an easily accessible double garage and separate studio building which offers an ideal work-from-home space or could be further developed into a residential annexe with the relevant consents.
