Detached house for sale in Cleveland Walk, Bath BA2

Cleveland Walk is a sought-after residential location, ideally situated on the southern slopes of Bath. There are local shopping facilities available on nearby Bathwick Hill including a Tesco Metro, Myrtle Mee the florist and Dexters, a great little coffee shop. The City Centre provides a wealth of cultural, culinary and recreational facilities.

There is an excellent range of schools close by, both private and state, including King Edward’s at the end of the road, Prior Park College, The Paragon, Monkton Combe, Bathwick St Mary’s Primary School and Widcombe Junior to name but a few. The highly regarded University of Bath is within 1 mile and also provides a wide range of sports facilities used by many recent Olympians, including a 50m pool and athletics track. Bath Spa University is approximately 5 miles away.

Communications are also excellent; Bath Spa Railway Station with direct links to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads is within walking distance. Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles to the north.

Linden House has been a much-loved family home for many years and now provides excellent scope and opportunity for modernisation and possibly extension, subject to the necessary consents being granted. The property offers a very well laid out 230.3 sq. M (2,478 sq. Ft) of accommodation in what is an elevated plot with views to the north across the city and a south facing rear garden.

Entering the house via the front door, you are welcomed into a very spacious entrance hall with all the rooms set off. A feature staircase with original wrought iron balustrade takes you to first floor level.

To your left-hand side there is a good-sized study (which would also make an ideal bedroom 5, if required) with views to the front gardens. Also on the left side is a cloakroom which has a large cupboard housing both the hot water boiler and Brink air heating system. To this side of the hall a door leads through to the kitchen which appears to have the original 1970s range of units, and period oven. There is plenty of room in the kitchen to dine; however, there is also a hatch through to the dining room. A door at the side of the kitchen leads out to a covered garden lobby which in part accesses a very handy separate utility room, but also allows you to enter the garage side door, the garden and a gate out to the front driveway.

Back to the hall, on the right-hand side, you go through to a wonderful sitting room which is very spacious and L-shaped through to the dining room. Between the two rooms is a peninsula bar designed by our clients and rather attractively finished in rosewood. The main sitting room enjoys fantastic views both to the front of the property and to the rear gardens. Double sliding French doors provide access straight out to the garden.

Upstairs you find a very spacious, open landing with far-reaching views across the city. A door leads out to a balcony and a large window adds to the sense of light and space.

There are four very generous double bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, but there is another larger bedroom which could also provide a master suite. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Externally

Entering the garden from the kitchen, you find a very attractive vine-clad pergola. At the rear of the utility room there is a very useful shed. The double garage has light and power and benefits from an electric louvered roller door.

The gardens of Linden House are a particular feature and have been a source of much joy. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden rises in attractive naturalised terracing. The main area is set out as a rockery and has some lovely plants which include a red pittosporum, heathers and a fine acer. This leads up to a further area of garden which adjoins National Trust land. Feature trees in the garden include a mature Mulberry tree, a Scots pine and a Holly. The views over the National Trust land give a great sense of being in a rural space.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with the house being well set back from Cleveland Walk. There is a fine Linden tree and a Yew.

The house has its own area of private driveway for parking which then links in with a drive owned by the neighbouring property which Linden House has a right of way over.
