Upper Camden Place, Bath, Somerset BA1

Number 24 is located above Camden Road in an elevated position, set back and tucked away behind garden walls with extensive views from many of the south facing windows. It's a spacious family home over four floors, with attractive period details in every room. The hallway features original wood floorboards and an archway to the rear hall. There are two large rooms on this floor - the kitchen and the dining room, with double doors separating (or joining) them. The kitchen has units along one wall, granite work tops, with the sink next to the window, looking into a courtyard. The oven range is set into the chimney breast, there's open shelving in one alcove, and a cupboard in the other. There's plenty of space here for an island unit or kitchen table.

The dining room has a fireplace with a working gas fire and built-in shelving and cupboards in both alcoves. A large window has attractive views to the front garden. At the rear of the hall on this floor, is an under stairs cupboard and door to the utility room. There's access here to a vault and onto a small, external courtyard (with further storage).

Up the first half landing, a half-glazed door opens onto a tiled garden room where there is a shower room and door to the rear garden. There is a living room and study/bedroom on the first floor. The living room has one large floor to ceiling window offering extensive views across the city and to the southern hills beyond. It also has a working jet master fireplace. Both rooms have high ceilings, fireplaces, shutters and natural wooden doors. The second floor is home to the principal bedroom suite, again with wonderful views, storage and also a discreet ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is on this floor, with three good-sized bedrooms on the fourth.

From Camden Road, a wrought iron gate opens onto steps up to the front door, passing through terraces on the way. Closest to the house there is a paved terrace, with a deep flowerbed at the front and running along the length of the boundary wall. There are several specimen trees and mature shrubs, with space for outdoor furniture in this private spot.

On the ground floor, a small courtyard is accessed via the utility room, with storage under the first floor terrace.

The rear walled garden is accessed from the first half landing via a rear hallway. The lower terrace has slate flooring and is a great spot for a barbecue and dining. Steps up from here lead to a second gravelled garden with deep borders for planting. It is a peaceful, private spot where you can enjoy the sound of birdsong coming from the woodland behind it.
