Property description
Butley Ash enjoys a superb location. It sits on a hilltop, with far reaching and stunning views across Bath, towards the Mendip Hills. Built by Beazer Homes, a local Bath firm in the nineteen sixties, it was designed, and lived in by the architect. It has been a happy and marvellous family home for fifty years.Butley Ash is situated along the much sought after North Road. The house backs onto, and is also linked by a footpath, to the University of Bath playing fields. It is conveniently close to the main campus. The area has a peaceful semi rural atmosphere but vibrant Bath, with its wide range of cultural, sporting and shopping facilities is easily accessible. There are excellent schools in the area and for the commuter the M4 is only a short drive away: whilst Bath Spa railway station has a frequent and fast service into London Paddington.The vendor says: The house was designed as a spacious family home, with generous windows to ensure the house was flooded with natural light. The windows also enable you to fully appreciate the charming garden, and see panoramic scenes from the first floor.We also have a generous kitchen. The dining room is next to the kitchen and the walk in larder and utility room completes this area, the hub of a busy daily household. It is conducive to easy entertaining, and ten guests could easily be seated in the dining room. The three reception rooms are perfect for entertaining and family down time. The sitting room has access to the garden through one set of patio doors, but also gives access through the family room to the summer room which also has patio doors to the garden. The rooms are very light, achieved by the superb use of glass which pulls the sunlight into the rooms."Three of the four bedrooms have a southern aspect with amazing views into the garden and the far distance. They provide a definite wow factor. The garden is a mix of mature trees and shrubs that border the lawn. It has been an ideal play garden for children and an excellent place for al fresco dining. The garden also has a greenhouse and a stone built garden store.Butley Ash has had one owner, and the house has always been a very happy home to the whole family from the day it was built. It remains a charming home, but needs gently updating into the twenty first century. New owners can easily put their stamp on it and fully restore it to its original charm.
