Property description

Built in the 1960s, this large family home is in a popular cul-de-sac in a prime Bath location. Currently in need of refurbishment, the house is available with planning permission for extensive renovation into a spacious five-bedroom, modern home with open-plan kitchen/dining spaces and off-street parking.

Extension plans over the 227 square metres create large family rooms on the ground floor that complement modern lifestyles which includes a generous reception room with French doors opening on to the rear garden terrace, a family snug, large utility that can be accessed from the front drive (ideal for removing muddy boots/access for dogs) and an extensive kitchen/dining/social space with glass doors across the whole of the rear wall, accessing the garden. The newly formed kitchen replaces / incorporates most of the existing garage and conservatory
Upstairs, the first floor plans create a luxury principle bedroom suite with dressing room and ensuite; as well as an extra bedroom, so there are four more double bedrooms here, as well as a family bathroom. Please refer to the planning permissions. 21/03981/ful

Sold as seen, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a home with your choice on all the finishes and details internally and a chance to install renewal/green heating options. Feels like a stone throw, 0.8miles from the City center.

The current front of the house includes a garden, a drive and a garage. The planning permission changes this to extend parking to at least three cars, while the garage becomes a utility room.

At the rear of the house, the rectangular rear south-westerly facing garden is surrounded on three sides by a neighboring garden and has attractive views across the city skyline. The garden is mostly laid to lawn across two levels. It has several mature trees, including a magnolia tree, and shrubs in borders. The plans retain most of this and include a garden terrace adjacent to the rear of the house.

Additional potential available to extend into loft space (subject to planning)

St Catherines Close is just off Bathwick Hill, which climbs south east from the city centre towards the University of Bath on Claverton Down. The hill borders on the National Trust's Bathwick Meadows which is part of the Bath Skyline walk and has wonderful views over the centre of Bath. Local shops include a supermarket, cafe, homes store and flower shop, while the city centre is a short walk away. Bath offers first class shopping, superb restaurants and bars and cultural experiences. There are good pre and primary schools locally, in addition to an excellent selection of both independent and state schools in Bath and the surrounding areas. The property is well placed for commuters with easy access to the A36, M4 and to Bath Spa station (Bath to London Paddington is 90 minutes).
