A modern, three-bedroom family home with landscaped garden and garage, set along a private road in the popular area of Lansdown, just minutes’ drive from Bath city centre.
Set along leafy College Road and tucked behind gates, Brambledown is a peaceful and much-loved home that is within reach of everything the city of Bath and the Cotswolds countryside have to offer.
The 1960s semi-detached property has been substantially transformed by its current owners through an extensive renovation focused on sustainability and thoughtful design details. ‘The house was falling apart,’ they recall, ‘we stripped it right back and rebuilt it with light, space and modern living in mind.’ The layout was cleverly reconfigured to create an open-plan ground floor, introducing an enlarged, modern family kitchen and reimagined staircase to accommodate an expanded WC and a new utility space. New windows, doors and underfloor heating improved insulation and energy efficiency, creating a cosy, comfortable home.
Upstairs, bespoke built-in wardrobes make the most of every corner. The family bathroom was redesigned for comfort and practicality, with a new layout allowing for generous storage and natural light. Throughout, the attention to detail is evident — a modern, easy-to-live-in three-bedroom home that retains a warm, welcoming feel.
Outside, the front and rear garden have been completely reimagined with natural stone paving and soft planting with the help of a garden designer. At the rear, a new patio extending beyond the dining area and landscaped features transformed it into a tranquil space for play and relaxation. ‘Our boys have grown up here — riding bicycles, kicking footballs, and digging in the sandpit,’ say the owners. ‘It’s been a joyful, easy garden to live with and socialise in.’
The location is ideal for families, with excellent private and state schools such as Kingswood, The Royal High and St Stephen’s Primary School just a short stroll away. ‘The sense of community is wonderful,’ they add. ‘We enjoy getting together with our friendly neighbours – many have children at the same schools.’
The family leave behind detailed architectural plans for a proposed extension that would transform Brambledown into a substantial five-bedroom home – a reflection of their love for the property and its potential.
