Property description
Mountwood is a contemporary five bedroom property set in a desirable location just over one mile from the centre of Bath. Residents of Waldegrave Road benefit from several well renowned schools, all within walking distance of the property, a park and ride service into the city centre, a local golf course and scenic views.
Having lived in the property for 12 years, the current owners have extensively renovated their home. The result is a modern airy space which is flooded with natural light.
We were first attracted to the excellent location of the home. Mountwood is very quiet and no one overlooks the house, so you benefit from privacy, says Gitte. We have the best of both worlds, because all the amenities of Bath are a short distance away, adds James.
When we moved in, the house was in need of substantial modernisation. We spent two years renovating the property, fitted a new kitchen and additional bathrooms, and also added an upstairs bedroom with en-suite that my teenage daughter uses. That room would suit an au pair or a dependent relative, as well as teenagers who wish to have more independence, says Gitte. The kitchen is now a beautiful modern space with Miele appliances."
The current owners used inspiration from their travels when designing the interiors of Mountwood. Having spent time in Asia and Scandinavia amongst other places, Gitte and James used design inspiration from each region to create a fusion of styles that everyone could enjoy.
After renovating the property, the current owners enjoyed years of happy memories at Mountwood, often hosting parties. The downstairs reception rooms are south facing and the layout is ideal for entertaining. The lounge, for example, has large double doors leading into the dining area with both rooms accessing the full length terrace. There is a wonderful natural flow between the downstairs rooms which means guests are never huddled in a corner, says Gitte.
Mountwood has evolved over time and now stands as a modern family home with a unique fusion of styles. The current owners will miss the light open spaces and serenity of the property.
