Wells Road, Bath, BA2 3AL

Hartington Villa is a handsome bay fronted semi-detached Victorian villa of grand proportions, having been sympathetically divided into a splendid 3/4-bedroom maisonette that occupies the majority share of the property, and a first-floor apartment which enjoys independent access. The maisonette offers beautifully appointed, immaculately presented accommodation which retains a wealth of period detail and is arranged over the ground and lower ground floors. This impressive property is approached either formally to the front via the gardens and a pretty paved pathway or to the rear, or via level access directly into the large kitchen/dining and family room. The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious bay fronted drawing room to the front overlooking the gardens and enjoying a beautiful westerly aspect with stunning panoramic views. To the rear there is a large well-appointed double bedroom with a pretty bay window and a spacious and light en-suite bath and shower room. In addition, there is a 4th bedroom, currently used as a study, along with a particularly spacious, well-equipped kitchen, dining and family room which conveniently leads directly onto the rear parking area and a sheltered decked terrace for summer dining and socialising. The lower ground floor has 2 further generous double bedrooms, one with a pretty en-suite shower room along with a separate family wet room. The bedroom to the rear enjoys independent access via stone steps that lead down from the sun terrace at the rear. In addition, there is plenty of understairs storage and a good-sized hallway that could easily accommodate a small kitchenette if required. Beautifully manicured, well stocked, mature gardens wrap around the front and side of the property. To the rear, the property is approached via a driveway where there is plenty of off-street parking and 2 single garages. Hartington Villa is positioned on Bath’s sought after lower southern slopes, conveniently placed for quick access into Bath city centre and Bath Spa Station.
