Property description

Built in the 1840s, this early Victorian Bath stone detached home sits in an elevated position, surrounded by gardens and with views across fields towards the hills beyond.

Updated with a new roof, guttering and boiler in 2018 and a new double garage, The Brow is in good order. A stone portico with pillars defines the main entrance to the house, with a separate doorway on the left for The studio. The Brow has well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors with the principal rooms located towards the front of the house, taking advantage of the views. The drawing room is of particular note with a beautiful marble fireplace, elaborate cornicing and two bay windows overlooking the garden.

In addition there is a separate dining room and a study. The large kitchen/dining room has glass doors that open onto the garden terrace, as does the utility room next to it. There are some period features throughout, notably the marble fire surround and elaborate cornicing in the drawing room and the decorative ceiling in the principal bedroom. Both of these rooms also have particularly attractive views from their large bay windows. There's a good balance of modern details throughout too, such as a large skylight that floods the first floor landing with light, the tiled en suites and bathrooms, and the white kitchen island and units.

Gardens and Grounds
Entry to the property is via electric gates onto a gravel drive that leads up to the house and the paved terrace that wraps around the side and expands at the rear where a wooden pergola defines an outdoor eating area, accessed from the kitchen.

The south-west facing garden has far-reaching views across the hills and is mostly formed of well-maintained lawn, borders and trees, as well as a small connecting orchard. Outbuildings include a large shed and greenhouse.
The double garage has electric doors and a pitched roof with space for storage, and side door access.

Bannerdown Road is in a semi-rural situation, just beyond the popular village of Batheaston which lies to the north-east of Bath. The village has a thriving community, a great selection of day-to-day amenities such as shops, a Post Office, doctors' surgery and dentist, several pubs and cafe. Surrounding countryside is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Solsbury Hill and St.Catherine's Valley, with many wonderful local walks directly from the property, such as through Bannerdown Common and Bathford.
Nearby 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 M4 and local links via a toll bridge to the south of Bath.
