A superb four bedroom family home providing impressive accommodation with exceptional views.


Description

2 Eastbourne Villas is a delightful and beautifully presented home, which has been lovingly restored by the present owners.

The house is set back from the roadside behind a pretty front garden with steps leading to the front door. The sense of space in the entrance hall is immediately apparent as the hallway is open to the dining room with its triple bay window, feature fireplace and period details including centre rose and ornate cornice work. The dining room leads through to the living room behind, stylishly decorated with feature fireplace and views to the rear garden. To the rear of the house is a stunning kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke joinery, central island with Corian worktop, marble splash back, Falcon range cooker, American style fridge/freezer and a pretty banquette window seat adjacent to the island. The kitchen is a wonderfully light room, with natural light flooding through a triple sash window, skylight and French doors leading out to the beautifully landscaped garden. Completing the ground floor is a downstairs WC under the stairs.

The bedroom accommodation is well arranged with excellent proportions throughout. On the half landing to the first floor is an elegant bathroom fitted with Fired Earth tiles, Albion roll top bath and a large shower. A laundry area is located next to the bathroom which was formerly a separate WC and could be reversed if required. To the front of the first floor is the spacious bay-fronted principal bedroom with a feature fireplace and spectacular views over Solsbury Hill and St Saviours Church. This room provides excellent flexibility as the owners currently utilise this beautiful room as another reception room with built in cabinetry for a library. There is also a well proportioned second bedroom with a westerly aspect on the first floor. On the second floor are two double bedrooms with pretty fireplaces and far reaching views over Bath and the countryside. In addition, there is consented planning permission for a further room at the rear, which could be utilised as a further bedroom or bathroom (Ref: 21/04125/FUL)

Outside
The westerly facing rear garden has been carefully designed and landscaped with Cotswold stone and York flagstones to provide a tranquil and secluded setting in which to enjoy the sunshine. Immediately outside the kitchen’s French doors is a terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. Beyond this is a further walled terrace surrounded by a variety of lovely shrubs and planted borders. A winding stepped pathway leads to the top section of garden and a rear gate which provides access to a pathway leading down to the road. The front garden is very attractive; largely laid to lawn with a pretty mixture of mature shrubs and a garden shed. The front garden provides an additional space to sit and enjoy the views over Bath and the nearby countryside.
