Lyncombe Vale Road is located on the southern slopes of the city within walking distance of Bath Spa railway station, close to the Paragon School and Prior Park College, as well as excellent state schools including the highly regarded Widcombe junior school and Beechen Cliff. This sought after area provides a semi rural feel close to open countryside but is still only a walk away from the village atmosphere of nearby Widcombe with its caf s, convenience store and popular pubs. The two tunnels cycle path towards Midford and Wellow is accessed from the end of the road.

The amenities of the city centre offer a wonderful array of chain and independent retail outlets, many fine restaurants, caf s and wine bars along with a number of cultural activities including a world famous international music and literary festival, the Theatre Royal, a selection of museums and art galleries and the attractions at The Roman Baths and Pump Rooms. World class sporting facilities are available at nearby Bath Rugby and Cricket Clubs and at Bath University and there are excellent spa and gym facilities at The Gainsborough, The Royal Crescent, The Priory and Combe Grove Manor Hotels. Communications include a direct line to London Paddington, Bristol and South Wales from Bath Spa railway station. The M4 Motorway Junction 18 is 10 miles to the north and Bristol Airport is approximately 18 miles to the west.

Description

This beautiful, individual contemporary home provides the very best of environmental design credentials, built to a high level of insulation, with underfloor heating and triple glazing throughout.

Entering the house via the front door you are immediately struck by the level of design. To your left is a double bedroom with built in cupboards. This has its own adjoining shower room with shower, WC and hand basin, and also doubles as a cloakroom. Also in the hall are two good sized cupboards; one for coats and a built in drawer unit.

To the opposite side of the house is a fine master bedroom with superb ensuite bathroom which has both a recessed bath and separate glazed shower cubicle. The bedroom also has a long line of built in wardrobes.

A contemporary staircase leads down to the wonderful garden level which is filled with light and enjoys superb views across Lyncombe Vale. The central living space is effectively a 20 ft. square open plan room which provides excellent living space and also has room to dine. A central chimney breast houses both a Contura wood burner and a cleverly designed unit to house a TV. At the rear of the room there are some beautifully designed bookshelves with cupboards below and space for a desk. The main aspect and view are simply superb with bifold doors giving access to the terrace and gardens beyond.

To the far end of the sitting room is a well fitted and stylish white kitchen with stainless steel handles. Appliances include Neff induction hob with extractor above, Siemens fridge and freezer, Neff oven and grill, Siemens washer and separate dryer. To the rear of the kitchen a door leads onto the decked terrace, and there is a further door to the front giving access to the driveway.

At the opposite end of the sitting room is a third bedroom with its own ensuite shower room. This room has French doors out to the garden.

Externally

To the front of Rosedale there is a block paved driveway sufficient to park two cars. Steps from here lead down to the lower level door to the kitchen.

The rear decked terrace of the house links on one side to an outside kitchen, ideal for summer entertaining. On the other side is a fine ornamental pool which creates an attractive reflective quality both inside and outside the house. The views from this upper level are breathtaking. Steps lead down to a terraced area, perfect for alfresco dining.

Tiered wooden steps run down the garden accessing a number of timber raised beds either side of the central pathway. These would be great for growing both vegetables and flowers. There is also a cleverly conceived water storage system made up of several water butts sufficient to hold 2,500 litres of rainwater.

At the bottom of the garden there is lawned area with a cleverly conceived bridge leading over a garden pond. Beyond you find a greenhouse and workshop garden room with power and light, together with a substantial stocked log store running along the bottom boundary. The garden is planted with a number of attractive trees including ash, sycamore and various fruit trees including fig and apple.
