CONTEMPORA­RY STYLE LIES BEHIND TRADITIONA­L STONE

This highly individual­ly designed property has been built in a traditiona­l style with the benefit of a superb roof terrace and is set in the quiet lower slopes of Lansdown

-

This superbly designed property has cleverly combined the more traditiona­l Bath stone frontage with a contempora­ry interior and roof terrace. All this is set within a beautiful, private cobbled courtyard which is well enclosed with Bath stone walls.

The spacious interior has a light and airy feel to it, with two of the bedrooms including the master on the ground floor, both of which open out onto the delightful courtyard. The master also has a dressing room with fitted wardrobes.

The property has a lovely reception hall with limestone flooring and a glazed side panel. The limestone flooring continues into the convenient cloakroom.

The superb kitchen/breakfast and living room provides beautiful openspace living. The Neptune fitted kitchen has a range of appliances including a Smeg seven burner gas range oven, an integrated fridge/ freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a larder cupboard, display cabinets and filtered water tap among the fittings. The central island unit includes a wine rack and breakfast bar. Double doors lead into the front courtyard.

The useful utility is fitted with a range of units, a second freezer and space for a washing machine under a triple-glazed roof light.

At first floor level there is a spacious guest bedroom with a luxurious ensuite with two wash basins in a marble vanity, an oval bath and limestone flooring.

There is a further bedroom or garden room which leads out onto the stunning continenta­l style roof garden with beautiful views stretching across the city.

There are walk in wet rooms on both levels, with large shower heads over heated limestone flooring.

The property is fitted with all the latest specificat­ions, including underfloor heating, solar panels and wiring for a sound system. Of particular benefit is the integrated spacious garage which, along with the gate off the road, is controlled by electronic fobs.

The large private roof terrace is enclosed by Bath stone walling and enjoys a superb southerly aspect.

It includes large decked areas on different levels, with continenta­l-style grass planting and a glazed balustrade. There is an automatic watering system and it is fully-wired.

A door from the reception hall leads into the large garage. The Viessmann gas fired boiler providing all the hot water and central heating, is controlled via smartphone.

The front courtyard has a stone cobbled area and again is well-enclosed by high stone walls with borders planted with pear trees and Silver Birch trees.

St Stephens House is set in a very quiet and elevated position with views across Bath to the countrysid­e beyond from the first floor and roof terrace.

The city centre is just 10 minutes walk away and the lovely Hedgemad Park is within striking distance.
