"Novar is a substantial 1950?s detached family home, located in a wonderfully quiet and leaf residential position, on Bath?s highly sought after southern slopes, only a short distance to central Bath and near many good state and independent schools.

The property is positioned centrally with a lovely north-westerly aspect with stunning views, within approx ? acre plot, with extensive gardens to the front and rear, including private driveway parking for several cars and a single garage. There are also rights of access to the private woodlands and a large field to the rear of the property for quiet recreational enjoyment. A host of wildlife includes Badgers, Pheasants, Buzzards, Deer and Owls.

The light and airy accommodation comprises a double aspect family sitting room with French doors leading to a pretty sun terrace, a good size dining room with an attractive rear aspect and a door leading to the sun terrace, kitchen, cloakroom and generous reception hall. At this level there is also a garden/utility room, linking the kitchen with the garage. On the first floor there is a spacious landing, two double bedrooms and two singles, all with lovely far reaching views and a family bathroom.

The property is in need of full renovation and possible structural attention (subject to survey) which could include provision for an upgraded kitchen and extended bathroom facilities. There is also the potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, to significantly extend the property to create a beautiful five bedroom family home in a stunning location.

Situation
Perrymead is a quiet residential location, positioned just off off Ralph Allen Drive on Bath?s highly sought after southern slopes and within a few minutes of Bath City centre. The World Heritage City of Bath provides an extensive range of chain and independent shopping facilities, an excellent selection of fine restaurants, cafes and wine bars and a wonderful array of cultural activities which include the newly refurbished One Royal Crescent and Holburne Museums, a well-respected international music and literary festival and many pre-London shows at The Theatre Royal.

World Class sporting facilities are available at nearby Bath Rugby and Cricket Clubs and at Bath University.

The highly fashionable nearby village of Widcombe provides a number of excellent local amenities including a popular gastro pub, convenience store, doctors and dental surgery, florists and delicatessen.

Novar is in a fine elevated position within Perrymead, offering attractive uninterrupted far reaching views across Lyncombe Vale. The nearby green lane gives access to the open countryside and lovely country walks. A striking advantage of the property is the absence of houses front and rear (a farmed field lies across the road and behind the house and garden is a substantial belt of protected woodland). The house is set back beyond the normal building line placing it away from the lane, which is closed to vehicles at its upper end and therefore carries light traffic only, which provides an exceptionally quiet environment.

The property is within easy reach of a triangle of excellent state and independent schools include the The Paragon, Prior Park College, Monkton Combe, Beechen Cliff, Ralph Allen, Widcombe Infants and Junior Schools Bathwick St Mary?s School and King Edwards Schools on North Road.
