Location
Occupying an outstanding position on the lower slopes of Bathwick Hill with wonderful views over the city and beyond, Aurora is situated on St Catherine's Close, a quiet cul-de-sac off Bathwick Hill, close to National Trust fields.
There are local shopping facilities available close by on Bathwick Hill and the City Centre is approximately half a mile away and provides a full range of retail outlets together with many amenities including an excellent selection of restaurants, Bath Sports Centre, the Theatre Royal and the Thermae Spa. Complementing this is the open countryside nearby with many beautiful walks. This, contrasting with the closeness of the city centre is, in our opinion, one of the major attractions to this property. The property is very conveniently placed for easy access to various nearby schools which include King Edwards, Prior Park and Monkton Combe. Also nearby is Bath University.
Communication links are excellent with a mainline rail link to London Paddington (journey time from 75 minutes) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey time from 15 minutes). Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 10 miles north.
Description
This beautifully reimagined contemporary family home has been meticulously redesigned by the current owner to a high standard.
Offering expansive lateral living, and wonderful far-reaching views, the property features six bedrooms and generous living areas spread across the lower two floors. The house sits in a tranquil, secluded cul-de-sac, moments from Bathwick Hill and in close proximity to King Edwards School.
The layout of the house has been carefully curated by the owner, with great attention to interior design detail. The large windows and sliding doors visible throughout the house offer stunning views of the city and the delightful garden.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway filled with natural light and a view straight ahead over the rear garden. On this floor are two large reception rooms, both of which provide front to back aspects and stylish design. The sitting room to the right has a wood burning stove and sliding doors out on to a large terrace above the kitchen with wonderful elevated views of the garden and the city. Also on this floor are a large study, which can be utilised as an occasional bedroom, and a boot room/cloakroom with built in storage, dog shower and a separate WC.
Steps lead from the hallway down to the expansive kitchen; an incredibly impressive room perfect for family living. The German Brigitte kitchen with its central island, quartz worktop and integrated Miele appliances sits to the right hand side, with space for a large dining table and family seating area. Overhead are skylights on to the terrace above, and in front are two oversized sliding doors which lead out to the patio and garden beyond.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room, with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden. Also on this floor is a well-fitted utility room which leads through to the plant room, another WC and a wine cellar with extensive storage.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the top two floors of the house. The first floor contains four generous bedrooms, the largest of which provides an en suite shower room and dressing room. A large family bathroom, with a separate shower services the other three bedrooms on this floor. One of the bedrooms has a dressing room which could be converted to an en suite if required.
The second floor contains the stunning principal suite. Tall vaulted ceilings provide grand loft-like proportions, and the space on offer is spoiling. Oversized windows and skylights (with remote control blinds) allow for fabulous natural light and the views are breath-taking. A large en suite bathroom, with a separate shower, and a dressing room serve this luxurious suite.
Garden
Set back from the road, the property is immediately impressive to the eye. The front garden is well planted and provides off street parking with EV charger. Water and electricity are provided to the front garden and a workshop with remote controlled shutter door provides useful storage for bikes and garden tools.
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to provide variety and a multitude of uses. Immediately outside the house on the lower two floors are large terraces perfect for al fresco dining.
A gravel path with mature flower beds leads to the lawned garden which is ideal for family games, and this is combined with a well-established allotment and greenhouse, a seating area with fire pit and a pretty stream which runs through the lower end of the garden.
A useful home office/workshop is positioned at the rear of the garden with electricity connected.
