Battlefields, Lansdown, Bath, Gloucestershire, BA1

DESCRIPTION
Battlefields House was originally one of three villas built by Royal Crescent and Circus architect John Wood the Elder in 1738, built on the site of the Battle of Lansdown in 1640. The building was then radically extended by Charles Harcourt-Masters in circa. 1802.

Apartment 3 is on the first floor on the south, south east and western aspects of the house and has some truly outstanding period features and proportions as well as spectacular views.

The accommodation is on one level with a large sitting room with an oriel window, which is ideal for a reading spot. In this room there is also a wonderfully ornate fireplace surrounding a wood-burning stove. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units with integrated eye level double ovens and granite work surface. There is also a central island/breakfast bar with a hardwood top and room for stools for informal dining.

Bedroom 1 is a large double room with dual aspect views over the grounds and extensive integrated wardrobe space. Bedroom 2 is also a double and is currently used as a guest room/study which also has a wonderful outlook. There is also a fully fitted modern bathroom with an attractive arched window allowing plenty of natural light. Additionally, there is a separate room owned by all of the residents which can be booked for guests to stay overnight at a small charge. The property further benefits from a garage and there is further communal parking for visitors.
