PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Ground floor: The front door opens into a pretty, tiled vestibule with part-glazed inner door leading to the oak-floored hallway. There is a very useful understairs cloakroom with WC and handbasin here. From the hall, we enter the 2 reception rooms, which have been opened up to make a wonderful dual aspect living room space. The attractive sitting room has a wood-burning stove and painted fire surround, built in cupboards with shelving above and new double-glazed sash bay windows. To the rear, the second reception room has an open fireplace, again with painted fire surround, further built-in shelving and a rear window.

The spacious and stylish kitchen has dark blue/grey painted units with granite worktops and space for a fridge-freezer. There is a Smeg range cooker included, along with a Belfast sink and fabulous walk-in, bespoke-built larder and pull-out cupboards for all your storage needs.

Off the kitchen, a door leads to the side utility room with wooden worktops and ample cupboard space, plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, an integral under counter freezer and single stainless-steel sink fitted with a water softener. The utility room also leads to the garden.

There is a pretty, painted cast-iron fire surround and useful shelving in this room. The contemporary-style, shower room has classic white tiling, a large shower cubicle, sink with storage under and WC as well as stylish heated towel rail.

Bedroom 3 in the middle of the house has a striking tiled fireplace, built in cupboard and large double-glazed window, while Bedroom 1, also with cast-iron fireplace, is a spacious and classical double room, with a double-glazed bay and single window overlooking the avenue.

The Location: Longfellow Avenue is located in the heart of Poet's Corner, Bear Flat, just minutes from the City of Bath. Bear Flat features 20 or so thriving shops, cafes and restaurants on your doorstep with a very handy Co-op and Tesco Metro minutes away.
