Widcombe Parade Widcombe, Bath
Guide Price £495,000

Description

You can approach the main building from two directions, to the front a gated entrance from Widcombe Parade or to the rear from Millbrook Lane. Once inside the communal stairwell leads you up two flights of stairs to the apartment entrance. The entrance hallway leads to all rooms with the large living room being the star feature of this apartment. A lovely bright spacious room with windows to all aspects allowing natural light to flood in. To the corner is a triple aspect seating or dining area providing glorious city vista views across Widcombe, with St Matthews Church Spire and beyond to Bathwick Meadow. The kitchen is fitted with modern floor and wall units with integrated appliances: double oven, microwave, gas hob, fridge/freezer, water softener, dishwasher and space/plumbing for washing machine. The kitchen opens up onto a breakfast dining or study area which again provides those lovely city views.

Accommodation

The hallway from here leads to all three bedrooms, shower room and bathroom. All bedrooms provide built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is a good size providing bath with shower, WC and washbasin with vanity units. The shower room is a useful addition and is perhaps a room which could also be utilised as a utility room for washing machine and dryer. Externally there is a communal courtyard and space for bicycle storage. You will also find a private garage to the rear. An ideal apartment for those looking for city living with just a very short walk to everything Widcombe and Bath has to offer. Bath Spa station is also just 200m away.

Improvements

Improvements made in the last 12 months include - new Worcester Greenstar gas system boiler with a 7 year warranty. It provides a separate pressure hot water storage cylinder, to power hot water throughout the property. All living room and breakfast room double glazed period sash windows with a 10 year warranty. Ceramic tiles to flooring in both bathrooms. A double glazed Velux window in the shower room and replacement new draught excluding strips to the two Velux windows in the living room and one in the kitchen. The result is significant lower heat loss and more economical heating from the Eco gas condensing boiler.

Location

Widcombe is a highly desired village to the south of the city famed for its parade of independent shops. The parade provides hairdressers, supermarket, coffee shop, kitchen shop, newsagent off licence, renowned café/deli, vets, gift shop, burger bar, Chinese restaurant, massage spa, florist and three acclaimed public houses. Nearby schools include The Paragon, Beechen Cliff, Hayesfield, Ralph Allen, Monkton Combe and Prior Park. Along with the Ofsted rated 'outstanding' Widcombe Infants and Junior School. A contributing factor to the villages popularity is its proximity to the city itself and with Bath Spa station less than a 5 minute walk away. A short walk up Widcombe Hill and you find yourself on the Bath Skyline walk and its city views. Likewise nearby Alexandra Park provides what some claim to be the best views of the city. Nearby you will also find access to the River Avon and Kennet & Avon canal.
