Property description
Detached property in the sought after location of Perrymead, in the popular Widcombe area. The property, which is need of updating, benefits from four bedrooms, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, bathroom, garage, gardens and has stunning views.One of four individually designed houses built in 1965, Merrymeet has been the home for its current owner since that time. Ideally located near to the city centre, this spacious house occupies an enviable position which enjoys spectacular views over the city.Nearby at Widcombe Parade there is an excellent array of convenience stores and other amenities. However, the stunning city centre of Bath is only 1.4 miles away and is renowned for its history and fabulous architecture. It is a city which offers a wide range of cultural activities, including many music and literary festivals, combined with amazing shops, museums, theatres and restaurants. There are outstanding schools and colleges in the area and ample opportunities to pursue a comprehensive selection of sporting and leisure facilities. Transport links, both road and rail are excellent and travel to London and all parts of the country is efficient and convenient.The vendor says: "Built into the side of a hill, the house has been cleverly designed to take advantage of the magnificent outlook over the city, more especially as its main living space is set on the first floor, with bedrooms below. There is an overall sense of connectivity between the rooms, with the bright and spacious sitting room, together with its kitchen/diner enjoying the natural light which floods the space. Merrymeet is a convenient, well proportioned home which has been ideal for the comings and goings of busy family life.""Large patio doors open from the sitting room out onto the elevated terrace. This provides a wonderful area for relaxation and eating outside, and also looks over the garden below so that there is a spectacular panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.""There are steps leading down into the spacious garden which is mainly laid to lawn and a garden that the children loved building dens or camps with friends. It is also close to woodland and also to the famous Prior Park Landscape Garden, originally created in the 18th century by a local entrepreneur, Ralph Allen, with advice from Capability Brown." It is for practical reasons that the owner must now move elsewhere from this excellent home in its truly outstanding location.
