Description
Charming Edwardian family home on much loved Shelley Road. Full of period character with excellent space over 3 storeys in the heart of Poet’s Corner, Bear Flat.
The Property: Ground Floor: The main entrance door opens via the vestibule to the hallway and on to the principal reception rooms. The large sitting room has a wonderful cast-iron fireplace with high wooden mantle, as well as plaster cornice and sash windows. Alongside, an additional reception room offers useful space for hobbies or study and there is the benefit of a separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, modern Worcester GCH boiler and door to the garden.
To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is a generous and charming space with an AGA and bespoke wooden kitchen units. There is space for a dining table and a rear bay window with French doors opening to the southerly facing garden often bathing the room in sunlight.
First Floor: Upstairs, the long landing opens to 3 bedrooms, bathroom and shower room.
Bedroom 1 is a generous double with 4 sash bay windows affording lovely views, and a door to the delightful front balcony. Bedroom 2 is a good-sized rear double room and bedroom 3, another double room to the centre of the house.
The bathroom comprises a white suite of panelled bath, WC and handbasin, whilst the shower room, adjacent is fitted with a shower cubicle, basin and additional WC.
Second Floor: Upstairs again, the upper landing accesses 2 further double bedrooms each with dormer windows, and large eaves storage cupboards
Outside: The front garden has flowerbeds bounded by low stone walls and railings. To the rear, the garden enjoys a lovely Southerly facing aspect and begins with a patio seating area level from the kitchen, with steps up to a lawn surrounded by shrubs and small trees. There is a gated access to the rear lane.
The Location: Shelley Road takes pride of place in Poet's Corner. It is one of the most elevated and sought-after roads in the neighbourhood. 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. There is a lovely, wooded walk to the City of Bath and train station and also an excellent bus service. Nearby schools include Moorlands, St John's and Widcombe Primaries and Beechen Cliff and Hayesfield Secondaries. There are many wonderful walks South as far as Widcombe, Combe Down and beyond and easy access to the Two Tunnels Cycle Path. Overall, this is an absolutely delightful location in which to live.
