Shakespeare Avenue Bear Flat, Bath
£750,000

Description

A three bedroom Edwardian terrace family home situated in the highly desired residential area of Bear Flat, to the south of the city centre. The Avenues in Bear Flat are particularly sought after family homes for their proximity to excellent local schooling and the range of amenities and parks that are offered within walking distance. This much loved home benefits from a southerly aspect garden with external studio/work space and still provides potential to extend to the rear aspect and by way of loft conversion. It is also sold with no onward chain.

Ground Floor

You approach the property through decorative wrought iron gate through the front garden path next to fully stocked plant beds. Once inside the wooden laid floor in the hallway leads you through to the living room. The living room is opened up onto the sitting room creating an ambient family space and also provides access to the kitchen diner and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a comfortable space with feature working fireplace, large bay window to the front aspect and decorative cornicing with central pendant light. The living room is simply an extension of the sitting room again with feature fireplace, cupboards to the alcoves and could potentially be used as a more formal dining area. Stairs lead up to the first floor and a door opening leads you through to the kitchen diner. As you enter the kitchen diner to your left a door leads to a WC.

The kitchen diner is a great entertaining space with dining table space and a snug area to the rear with doors opening up onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with modern wall and floor units with wood effect worktop with inset sink and has vaulted glazed ceiling. The gas hob sits on a metal worktop with extract above and integrated single oven. There is further space for appliances and an opening leads to a utility space with space and plumbing for a washing machine. A further door from here leads to the rear garden.

First Floor

The first floor landing provides access to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a great size double room with large bay window to the front aspect, feature period fireplace and wardrobes to the alcoves. Bedroom two also provides feature period fireplace, wardrobe to the alcove and a window to the rear aspect. Bedroom three is a smaller double room with window to the rear aspect. The bathroom is currently fitted with large walk-in shower with glass screen, washbasin and WC. As many have done in the terraces you could look to create a loft conversion bedroom which can typically provide a double bedroom with ensuite.

Externally

The southerly aspect rear garden is laid with stone chips throughout with established raised beds, shrubs and trellis fencing with wood panel fencing either side. As you make your way to the rear you find the external studio home office which is a very useful space for those working from home. There is also a gate to the rear which opens up onto a footpath which leads to the top and bottom of the terrace.

Location

Bear Flat was voted 'one of the best places to live in the UK in 2020' by The Times Newspaper. They commented 'High above the tourists in the city this villagey plateau is heaven for young families. It’s a 10-minute downhill walk to Bath Spa station and a couple of minutes more to the city centre. It has a Co-op, a pharmacy and a range of independent shops and eateries. You can settle in, throw yourself into the lively local community and enjoy unbeatable views from the playground in Alexandra Park.'

We couldn't agree more as Bear Flat is an ideal location for those who work in the city of Bath or are looking to commute to Bristol or London. Both Bath spa and Oldfield Park train stations are within walking distance from the property. Locally there is an abundance of amenities providing everything that one might need; cafes, restaurant, florist, barbers, florist, Co-Op, Tesco, pharmacy, deli, wine merchant and public house. In addition the delightful nearby Moorland road hosts a plethora of shops, supermarket and renowned family butcher. Recreationally there is Alexandra Park, with quite possibly the best views over the city, Baskervilles gymnastic centre and the local Pump gymnasium. Local schools include Beechen Cliff, Hayesfield Girls school, Moorlands and Widcombe Infant and Junior schools.
