Property description
SUMMARY Extended to the rear to create the sought after open plan family kitchen/breakfast room space, offering three double bedrooms and granted planning permission for a dormer loft conversion to create a fourth bedroom - this central Bathwick Estate family home is ideally located for city access yet quietly situated in the heart of this leafy enclave with a top class primary school just around the corner. Benefiting from both a detached garage and a driveway. Side and rear corner plot gardens. Double glazing, gas central heating, original features and glimpses of Camden views. Previously let to sharers so would now benefit from full decoration, flooring and general tidying.
Villa Fields, the area of Bathwick, bounded by the railway line, the river, Bathwick Street and Sydney Gardens, took its name from Bathwick Villa, built in 1777 and demolished in 1897. The area remained largely undeveloped until the end of the 19th century: an area of scattered dwellings, orchards and smallholdings. Much of this was demolished, and new houses (mostly substantial semi-detached villas or modest terraced houses in groups of four) were constructed. All roads in the area were renamed - Villa Fields Road became Forester Road, and Powlett Place became Forester Avenue. Three new roads are called Powlett Road, Rockliffe Avenue and Rockliffe Road. All road names are associated with the Forester family, themselves descendants of the Pulteney family.
