Description
An impressive home located just on the edge of Bath with great road and bus links. A level 2.2 miles to Milsom Street, it also has the benefit of village amenities in Batheaston down the road plus nearby Bathampton and Larkhall, including three highly regarded primary schools in each of them. A superb family home.
Avonlea is a stunning Victorian home located on the edge of the city. It benefits from a wonderful garden and far-reaching views across the valley. The ground floor entrance and reception rooms create a pleasant and serene feel using the fashionable style of drenching the ceilings and walls with a calming white palette. With painted wooden floorboards, the interior design enhances many period features including the detailed cornicing in the drawing room and the large bay window perfectly framing the wonderful countryside view. The first floor principal bedroom is a light and airy room with a dual aspect and once again benefits from far-reaching views from the Victorian bay window. There is the second bedroom and cloakroom also on this floor whilst on the floor above there is a further double bedroom with a great aspect across the archery fields below. The luxury family bathroom includes a free-standing ‘Lusso' pebble bath as well as a walk-in shower. In contrast to the upper floors, the open plan kitchen and living area has an on trend darker tone. The bespoke kitchen has an unfitted commercial look including hand painted units and is open to the living/dining area with a central fireplace with a wood burning stove. Tall glazed double doors open out onto a ‘Juliet’ balcony with a lovely aspect over the garden. Stairs lead down to the garden level which could be a bedroom or further reception room with a door opening onto the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is additional access to the breakfast terrace, a pleasant spot looking over the vegetable garden. Also on this floor is the shower/utility room.
Outside
The garden is accessed from both the kitchen level and the lower level, but also benefits from a side entrance from the pavement with steps leading down to the breakfast terrace and detached studio. This has been the perfect home office. Stone steps are bordered by the side vegetable and herb garden. There is a superb dining terrace and a walk bordered by stunning ‘Annabelle’ Hydrangeas leading to a further wide terrace, ideal for relaxing. The level lawn below is edged with attractive herbaceous planting and the far end has a nature screen where a sunken fire pit surrounded by greenery is perfect in the late evenings. Larger and wider than most city gardens with wonderful views, this really is a significant feature of this desirable period home.
Situation
London Road West is within the village of Batheaston and just over two miles from Bath. There is an extremely well-regarded primary school, as well as a pub, doctors, chemist, shop, and a wonderful café called Gather. Across the river with its stunning weir is Bathampton also with a village pub, church, and school. A level walk towards the city centre is Larkhall with popular amenities including a local theatre, both primary and secondary schools, a butcher, grocers, delicatessen, and a handy Coop supermarket. This superb location is ideal for those who wish to live just outside the city and enjoy the most wonderful walks and countryside this area has to offer. There is good access to Junctions 17 and 18 of the M4. Bath Spa railway station offers highspeed train services from Bath to London Paddington as does nearby Chippenham with ‘Trainline’ timetable advertising the 07.26 am taking just 1 hour and 3 minutes to London.
