Simon Lord, franchisee of Winkworth Bath says:

“Whilst the original architectural style confirms its importance as a property, the sheer scope of the recent project truly underlines its status as one of the premier homes on Bathwick Hill”.

The property comprises five reception rooms and six bedrooms with three stunning bathrooms over four floors. Although the lower ground floor lower ground or garden floor has been integrated into the main house, the original external access has been retained, providing the option of a self-contained apartment. At present, it is a haven for reading, relaxing or enjoying superb home cinema away from the hub of the house. LCD screens are located in other rooms, and there is also a Sonos music system that enables every room to listen to music of choice by remote control.

The principal rooms have excellent views of the garden and whilst a mature boundary of trees creates privacy, the city lights may also be viewed from this elevated site. Careful thought has been given as to how the house and garden work together, with many rooms enjoying plenty of natural light. The under floor heating system has individual room control and there is an abundance of easy access to garden and terraces for enjoyable, relaxed, informal entertaining.

The kitchen, partial open plan with the family room leading onto the terrace and garden,  has been fitted with great attention to detail; a bespoke design of exceptional quality and fitted with Gaggenau appliances.

The clean, stylish contemporary interior is enhanced with mood lighting, and incorporates Italian stone and smoked oak wood flooring. Whilst presenting a modern environment, certain elements of the original building have been carefully retained. With excellent parking for several vehicles, Ravenscroft is one of very few properties in this key location with two separate private driveway entrances, both of which are gate secured with a mobile network remote control option.

The North Road entrance provides easy access to King Edward School, Bath Golf Club and the A36 to the South. Combe Grove Manor Hotel and Country Club and Bath University are also close by.

All in all, this remarkable house will give the buyer traditional English architecture, a sense of ‘country’ in a wooded setting yet with a grandstand view of a treasured city and with the luxury of an outstanding contemporary interior.
