An exceptional well-presented and refurbished five bedroom semi detached Victorian villa.
Description
Glencairn is a substantial Victorian villa which dates back from around 1864. It has been passed down through the generations, until the present owners bought the house and embarked on a thorough refurbishment of the property. The restoration has been completed with fine attention to detail whilst keeping many of the original features and also adding a modern twist to the interior design.
The property can be approached via iron double gates off the Wells Road or through the main driveway in Oldfield Road. A pathway also leads to the front door. Inside, there is a porch with a mosaic pattern tiled floor and part glazed doors to the hallway. The hallway area has been restored with stripped and varnished original wooden floorboards, a dado rail and beautiful carved bannisters on the staircase leading to the first floor. There is also an original folding wall tray mounted on the wall at the base of the stairs. To the left is the kitchen/dining room. This has been created from two existing rooms to form a light and bright space with the central island unit using a vintage granite worktop, echoing the marble of the fireplace surround and mantel in the dining part of the room. The island has a one and a half bowl sink with a mixer tap and breakfast bar. The appliances are integrated and a range cooker has two electric ovens as well as a gas hob. In addition, there is useful pantry. Off the kitchen is the back door and access to the boot room/utility as well as a useful shower room with shower, washstand hand basin and WC.
There are two reception rooms off the hall. The smaller of the two rooms has a fireplace with pretty tiles and tiled hearth, making a great study or further bedroom. The sitting room has a wonderful bay with three double glazed sash windows, impressive marble mantel and a working fireplace. Both rooms have high ceilings and picture rails as well as restored cornicing, deep skirting boards and original floorboards.
On the first floor, the principal suite has three sash windows, with far reaching views over Bath, an attractive fireplace with white painted surround and a half dividing wall which screens the door to the en suite shower room. This has a walk-in shower, WC, washstand hand basin, heated towel rail and tiled floor. There is a separate family bathroom with a bespoke cast iron slipper bath, washstand basin, WC and walk-in shower. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor with bedroom three acting as an occasional bedroom/playroom.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a door to the cellar. This room covers the length of the downstairs and is subdivided by arches. There are windows overlooking the rear garden. This could be easily converted into living accommodation subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Externally
Glencairn sits in a plot of just under a quarter of an acre. To the rear of the property is a single garage with a parking space in front and a window to one side and further driveway parking.
A pathway leads down to the back door of the house. Another path leads from the side of the house all the way to the bottom of the garden and is bordered by stone walling and high fencing. The garden has a fishpond to the side and a lawned area to the immediate front of the house, bordered by a hedge. This allows for a good degree of privacy as there are a selection of established trees and shrubs, with plenty of room for a vegetable patch further down. At the bottom of the garden is a greenhouse.
