Description

Being sold for the first time in almost fifty years, Denmede is located down a peaceful driveway leading from Southstoke Road in a quiet and secluded plot with far-reaching views of Horsecombe Vale.

Arranged laterally over two floors, the property has excellent proportions and an open plan layout which allows natural light to fill the house. The front door is situated under a pergola covered with a mature wisteria, and leads in to a particularly spacious entrance hall with the main living room down a couple of steps to the right hand side. The ground floor has two large inter-connected reception rooms allowing for lovely views over the front and rear garden. These rooms adjoin the kitchen, which provides access to the back garden. At the opposite end of the house are two large bedrooms, both with fitted cupboards and a family bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms also has its own balcony that looks out over the front garden.

Downstairs are three further bedrooms and a bathroom, with one of the bedrooms previously utilised as a study. This floor also provides a flexible space that could be utilised for a number of purposes. The current owners have enjoyed this area as a playroom, living room as well as useful storage and a workshop over the years.

Attached to the house, accessed from outside is a single garage a well as plenty of parking on the driveway.

Outside

Denmede sits in a wonderful plot overlooking Horsecombe Vale measuring about 0.85 acres, which is extremely rare for a house in Bath. The plot is arranged separately as a mature garden surrounding the house, and a secondary section of woodland that was acquired by the owners separately, and has gated access from the driveway.

The garden surrounding the house is mature and well planted with specimen trees providing a lovely outlook from the house and a great deal of privacy.

The woodland is delightful, and provides a secluded walk under the canopy of mature trees with views of Horsecombe Vale beyond. A seating area has been built within the woodland and this would make the most wonderful place for children to explore.

Off street parking is available for a number of cars in front of the property and a single garage is attached to the main house.
