Description

Westfield House is a Grade II listed Georgian Manor House located on the southern slopes of Bath. It now offers six private apartments and well-maintained communal gardens with garages. Set back from Bloomfield Road, it is accessed through a grand entrance featuring stone pillars and a sweeping in-and-out driveway. The property provides far reaching city views, attractive grounds, a striking façade, and ample parking space for residents and guests.

Accommodation

Flat three, positioned on the ground floor, is a spacious two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and a large bay window with Juliet balcony in the sitting room that provides panoramic views of the city. The kitchen is fitted with dated wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink, gas hob and double oven with washing machine. There are two bedrooms, that with the right permissions could potentially create a larger principal bedroom. Currently one is fitted with a range of storage cupboards so could be used as a dressing room. The spacious sitting room can comfortably accommodate a dozen guests, making it ideal for entertaining.

Externally the property also provides a garage for storage or parking. This apartment has been home to the same owner for over 24 years and, while well-loved, could benefit from some updating. The owner was initially drawn to the property due to its proximity to Bear Flat, a vibrant area with a variety of shops, pubs, and eateries, as well as the stunning city views with easy access to the city. The community is friendly, with residents often gathering for summer barbecues in the lovely garden.

Location

The property is located on the very northern edge of what is known as Bloomfield bordering the highly regarded area of Bear Flat. Bear Flat was voted 'one of the best places to live in the UK in 2020' by The Times Newspaper. They commented 'High above the tourists in the city this villagey plateau is heaven for young families. It’s a 10-minute downhill walk to Bath Spa station and a couple of minutes more to the city centre. It has a Co-op, a pharmacy and a range of independent shops and eateries. You can settle in, throw yourself into the lively local community and enjoy unbeatable views from the playground in Alexandra Park.'

Bear Flat is an ideal location for those who work in the city of Bath or are looking to commute to Bristol or London. Both Bath Spa and Oldfield Park train stations are within walking distance from the property. Locally there is an abundance of amenities providing everything that one might need; cafes, restaurant, barbers, florist, Co-Op, newsagents, pharmacy, deli, wine merchant and public house. In addition the delightful nearby Moorland Road hosts a plethora of shops, supermarket and renowned family butcher, grocer and fishmonger. Recreationally there is Alexandra Park, with quite possibly the best views over the city, a number of gyms and Baskervilles gymnastic centre. Local schools include Beechen Cliff, Ralph Allen, Hayesfield Girls school, Paragon, Moorlands and Widcombe Infant and Junior schools. Nearby Bloomfield Green is footsteps away from the property and is a lovely green park with children's play area. It also provides access to the 'Two Tunnels' cycle/foot path which takes you to Combe Down, Midford and Wellow to the south whilst to the north you can also travel in the same manner to Bristol.

The churches of St. Bartholomew and Beechen Cliff both provide community spaces. The hall in Bruton Avenue hosts a monthly community market, a toddler group and a tea party whilst providing valuable social space to rent for events, classes and youth activities and a thriving pre-school playgroup. Bear Flat Artists is a successful co-operative supporting annual Open Studios exhibiting in resident’s houses and venues across the area as well as a Christmas art fair.
