Richmond Road, Bath, BA1

Midmar is located on the northern slopes in one of Bath’s prime residential locations yet is within easy reach of the city centre with its extensive range of shopping facilities, a number of fine restaurants and wine bars, excellent sporting facilities, the Theatre Royal, several museums and the Thermae Spa.   Bath Spa railway station provides a mainline direct service with access to London Paddington (approximately 90 minutes) and the City of Bristol.   The M4 (junction 18) is 9 miles to the north providing direct routes to London, South Wales, Bristol and the Midlands via the M5.  

Nearby schools include The Royal High, Kingswood and St. Stephen’s Primary School.   Also within easy reach are The Lansdown Club which provides tennis, squash and croquet facilities, and Lansdown Golf Club. 

Description 

Midmar was originally built in 2017 with an emphasis on open plan living, high ceilings and a superb sense of light and space.  In our experience houses of this quality both in terms of design and finish are scarce in Bath.   The elevations are part solid dressed Bath stone, part rendered under a flat roof with sedum system supplied by Environmat. The house has a superb smart system by BrownHen Solutions, one of the leading systems available, further details of which are below. 

On entering the house, the front door opens into a spacious, light filled entrance hall with coats cupboard and cloakroom.     

The main living accommodation is open plan, providing an impressive living space. The kitchen has been well planned with integrated appliances under Corian worktops. There are three ovens (one microwave) and an integrated Neff coffee machine.  

The main family living room has full height bi-folding doors which open fully allowing the garden to be enjoyed on sunny days.  There is also a further separate reception room which could provide either a snug or as our clients have favoured, a study. 

To the opposite side of the main hall two steps lead to a further hall, off which at the far end is a very well fitted utility room.  A cupboard houses the pressurised water cylinder and water softener, and to the far end a further cupboard houses the Vaillant boiler . A door leads out to the side garden and there are more useful cupboards for laundry. 

You then come onto the main body of bedroom accommodation. The master bedroom has a beautiful feeling with views over the rear landscaped gardens.  It has its own walk-in wardrobe with bespoke fitted units for all clothing needs, and a well-fitted en suite bathroom with bath and separate marble shower enclosure.   Additionally, there are three further double bedrooms, two of which are en suite. 

Externally 

A wall provides privacy and seclusion with double solid wood gates opening to a resin composite driveway.  

The garden is situated mainly to the front of the house and is principally laid to lawn with a well-planned variety of shrubs and trees.     The main terrace has been beautifully designed and incorporates a long timber bench and various places to sit and enjoy the lovely outlook of the gardens and St Stephens Church. To the front of the property there is also a stone outbuilding, useful for storing garden implements.  The garden also has an irrigation system in place and a comprehensive lighting system.
