6 bedroom detached house

Designed by local architect Thomas Jelly and built-in 1785, this fine Grade II listed detached Georgian villa has been substantially, and stylishly, upgraded. The main house is over four floors, the generous proportions of this property allowing the primary living spaces to be accommodated on the ground floor. At the heart of this home, the kitchen has a large Aga range on one side, opposite fitted kitchen units and a central island. Two large windows allow light to flood in from one side and from the dining room's three large south-facing bay windows.

Views from here and from the living room are across the garden to the hills on the south of Bath; the elevated position is very pleasing. Adjoining the kitchen, a well-equipped utility, pantry and store offer practical spaces that are tucked away - as does the study with a built-in desktop running the full length of the room.

Both the dining room and living room have triple bay windows, wood burners in attractive period fireplaces and details such as window shutters, cornicing and ceiling roses. Behind the staircase, there's a boot room, WC and an inner hall with a rear door that opens on to the enclosed courtyard (and external access to the two annexes).

On the first floor, each of the bedrooms has its own dressing room or walk-in wardrobe and bath/shower room. Two bedrooms have bay windows with views across Bath to the hills beyond. Floors are wooden boards - as with most of the house - with carpet on the stairs and tiles in some bathrooms. All plumbing and electrics have been replaced in the past 10 years. Fixtures and fittings have been carefully and sympathetically chosen to enhance the historical details of this handsome home, including the two annexes which are currently let as Airbnb rentals.

There are currently two separate short-term rental accommodation spaces within the property, available on Airbnb as 'Downstairs Apartment Walcot' and 'Brew House'.

The Brew House is a recently converted ancillary building detached from the main house (built to supply beer to the main house). There are two bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor and a kitchen/dining/living room on the first, with high ceilings, exposed oak beams and an original, oversized fireplace.

The main house separate accommodation has two access points one via the courtyard and via the external staircase and the second of the lower hall in the basement. The one bedroom apartment has flagstone flooring, a modern kitchen and a shower room. It is light and airy thanks to its clever interior design and its dual-aspect windows.

The house is approached via its own access road, onto a gated driveway where there is space for several cars. Built three years ago, an oak-clad garage is accessed via its bi-fold doors; inside, there's space for three cars, storage and a workshop. Steps up the side of the garage lead to the garden. A path leads up to the front of the house, through the centre of a lawn, flanked with a Magnolia Grandiflora tree on one side, and a Robinia pseudoacacia tree on the other. The roof of the substantial garage forms a garden terrace with a mix of paving, grass and wooden decked areas its elevated position offers expansive views across both city and countryside. At the rear, there's a private, enclosed courtyard.

Located on Bath's highly desirable northern slopes, Upper East Hayes is in an elevated position set between London Road and Camden Road, both of which have abundant local amenities including a supermarket, pub, pharmacy and doctors' surgery. Larkhall village 'high street' is a short walk away, and has a good selection of shops, pubs, a cafe, a local theatre, a community hall and schools for all ages. The city centre is a short downhill walk where there is a diverse range of restaurants, shops and cultural facilities including the Thermae Bath Spa, the Theatre Royal and the Roman Baths. Bath has an excellent range of private and state schools, catering for all age groups,
