Columbus House is approached via a private, and exclusive, drive leading up to the handsome detached period property set in approximately 6 acres of communal landscaped gardens with spectacular views over Bath and its surrounding countryside. Built for a Royal Navy Commander in 1876 and later occupied by Patrick Vans Agnew, the building was extended by Future Heritage in 1999 yet retains the grandeur and elegant features of a fine period house. Yew Tree Cottage is part of Columbus House.
Yew Tree Cottage starts with a generous hallway and from here you can see that no expense has been spared, equipped with WC and separate space for understairs storage. There are two sash windows to the front aspect, engineered wood flooring and carpet leading up the stairs to the first floor.
The reception room is of a good size and floods with natural light through the two sash windows overlooking the front courtyard. There is a further window to the side. There is a large Bath Stone fireplace with coal effect gas fire stove and from here there is access to the recently updated kitchen. There is also an additional door offering access to the rear patio area.
The kitchen has been extensively modernised by the current owner and has created a show stopping space. This room includes a newly fitted range of wall and floor units with marble worktops and an extensive range of integrated appliances offering everything you would expect in a modern kitchen. With the room being of such good dimensions, there is a vast amount of space for a large dining table and chairs and further floor to wall storage cupboards matching the adjacent kitchen. Part of the work done by the current vendor was vaulting the ceiling and adding a large skylight, which provides additional room height and maximises the light flow to the room. From here you have access to the rear courtyard, through the patio doors, where you can admire the verdant surroundings and beyond.
On the first floor there is a spacious galleried landing, currently used as a seating area. This would make a great study area with views to the south over gorgeous lawns and woodland through the large window, providing lots of natural light.
The generously sized principal bedroom includes a range of built-in wardrobes and an attractive dual aspect with views to both the front and the rear of the property. Included in the master bedroom is a stylish, and modern, floor to ceiling tiled en-suite providing bath, built-in power shower, natural stone pedestal sink and WC. Bedroom two has room for a double bed and a sash window to the front of the property. The shower room offers floor to ceiling tiling with walk-in shower, sink and WC.
Yew Tree Cottage is surrounded by beautifully maintained communal grounds with the added benefit of two private enclosed courtyard gardens located to the side and front of the property. You will also find parking for two cars, with further parking provided for guests, within close proximity to the property. There is a storage building for recycling/rubbish bins and bicycles. There is also a dedicated storage area in the basement of the main house.
With a peaceful location, and secluded setting, the property really does offer the best of both worlds. A countryside style retreat with the buzz of the city on your doorstep.
